'Contempt it deserves': India slams Pakistan for accusation over Waziristan bombing

New Delhi has strongly rejected Pakistan's accusation that it was behind a deadly suicide bombing in North Waziristan, in which 16 soldiers were killed, calling it contemptible. read more India on Saturday slammed Pakistan for its false claim that it was behind a deadly suicide bombing in North Waziristan that killed 16 Pakistani soldiers. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) condemned the allegation, saying, 'We have seen an official statement by the Pakistan Army seeking to blame India for the attack in Waziristan on 28 June. We reject this statement with the contempt it deserves.' It has long been a tactic of Pakistan and its de facto rulers, the Army, to blame India for problems within their own country. Pakistan has long persecuted the Baloch people, depriving them of essential resources and exploiting their region. The same is true of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, which remains one of the country's most backward regions. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Though the Pakistan Army uses terror as a tool of state policy against India, it continues to deflect responsibility for internal security failures. Earlier that day, a suicide bomber drove an explosives-laden vehicle into a military convoy in North Waziristan district, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. The blast killed 16 soldiers and injured 10 others, along with 19 civilians, according to a local official cited by AFP. The attack was claimed by the suicide unit of the Hafiz Gul Bahadur group, which is linked to the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). Violence has been rising in Pakistan's tribal regions. Since the Taliban's return to power in Afghanistan in 2021, attacks in Pakistan's border areas have sharply increased. Islamabad often accuses the Afghan Taliban of sheltering militants who carry out these cross-border strikes, but Kabul denies the allegations. So far this year, about 290 people—mostly security personnel—have been killed in attacks by anti-government groups in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, AFP reports.

Jailed fishers, struggling families: A Palghar story

Sami Kishore Masya's tin-roofed tenement is so dark in the sunny afternoon that a volunteer has to turn on a mobile torch to converse with her. Sami speaks haltingly in Marathi. "My husband was our main breadwinner. Survival is hard as there are many to feed (five children, her mother, and herself) and income is unsteady and paltry," she says. The family lives in Khunwde village in Dahanu Taluka, Palghar district. Sami is the wife of Kishore Ukhadya Masya, one of 18 fishermen currently imprisoned in Malir Jail in Karachi, Pakistan. The men were arrested when their boats were swept into international waters by gusty winds. Acting on repeated petitions by peace activists, in 2023 the Maharashtra govt announced a daily allowance of Rs 300 to each of their families. Incidentally, all 18 fishers from Maharashtra are from tribal villages in Palghar district. Activists seeking financial aid on their behalf blame bureaucratic indifference for their families' hardships. "The state govt has sanctioned Rs 16.20 lakh to the families of fishermen, as opposed to the Rs 64.16 lakh proposed by the fisheries department of Palghar, as of May 2025," says Mumbai-based peace activist Jatin Desai, who has worked for the repatriation of Indian and Pakistani fishermen imprisoned in each country. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Thị trường có dấu hiệu suy thoái không?

" You Can Also Check: Mumbai AQI | Weather in Mumbai | Bank Holidays in Mumbai | Public Holidays in Mumbai There are 193 Indian fishermen, including 18 from Maharashtra, in Pakistan's custody, while 81 Pakistani fishers are in Indian jails. Each year, on January 1 and July 1, both countries swap lists of the fishermen and civil prisoners they hold from across the border. Desai says both countries have violated the bilateral agreement. "Section (V) of the bilateral agreement on consular access, 2008, says that both govts have to agree to release and repatriate persons within one month of confirmation of their national status and completion of their sentences," he explains. "Of the 193 Indian fishermen in Pakistan's jails, 180 completed their sentence and their nationality was verified. " Ajay Vasant Varu of Jalwai village in Dahanu Taluka was arrested on November 5, 2021, along with seven others, by Pakistan Maritime Security Agency when their boat drifted across the International Maritime Boundary Line (IMBL). "I have three children and Ajay's old father to look after. The little income (Rs 250 per day) from plucking chikoos is inadequate to run the house. This too stops as chikoo plucking is seasonal and I then have to look for farm work," says Ajay's wife Bhagyashree. The desperation of the families is acute. While men either work on fishing boats of Porbandar and Diu, or at factories and back offices located in the neighbouring districts of Gujarat, women toil at chikoo orchards and on paddy fields. Local volunteer Ganpat Lakshman Bujad says the tribals possess little beyond their modest houses in their hamlets on the hills. Bujad's cousin Vinod Lakshman Kol's body was brought back from Pakistan to his village on May 1 last year, after he died of a heart attack on March 17. "People take risks and go fishing deep into the sea because hunger haunts their families back home," he says. Working between August and April, with a three-month monsoon break from May to July, fishers are under pressure to net a large catch so that boat owners, who spend Rs 4-5 lakh on a 20-day trip, can profit from each trip. In addition to the diesel cost, fishermen are paid Rs 20,000-25,000 each. "Pollution from effluents and industrial waste flowing into the sea have driven fish further away from the coast. This has forced fishermen to sail deeper into waters and risk drifting into Pakistani territory," says Bharat Mody, ex-president, Porbandar Fishermen Boat Owners Association.

Suicide Bombing Kills 13 Soldiers In Northwestern Pakistan

At least 13 soldiers were killed when a suicide bomber rammed an explosive-laden car into a military convoy in northwestern Pakistan. On June 28, officials in North Waziristan, a district in the northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, said the bombing near the regions Mir Ali town during a curfew injured 10 more soldiers. At least 14 civilians were wounded in the attack. In Miran Shah, the regional headquarters, an official said the suicide bombing hit a military truck full of soldiers responsible for disposing of bombs and other explosives. Rahmatullah, a resident of Khadi village, the scene of the attack, told RFE/RL's Radio Mashaal that the bombing happened at 6 a.m. local time. He said the powerful bomb injured many women and children and damaged civilian homes. Ali Amin Gandapur, the chief minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, condemned the bombing. Hafiz Gul Bahadur group, a local Pakistani Taliban faction in North Waziristan, claimed responsibility for the attack. The relatively small faction has claimed numerous deadly attacks in and around the rural town of Mir Ali in recent years. The restive district of North Waziristan borders Afghanistan. It is one of the regions most affected by the return of the Pakistani Taliban. The Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistan (TTP) is the largest faction of the Pakistani Taliban. Thousands of its fighters have ramped up attacks on Pakistani security forces since the return to power of its allies, the Afghan Taliban, in neighboring Afghanistan in August 2021. The TTPs violence in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has overshadowed relations between erstwhile allies Pakistan and the Afghan Taliban. Islamabad has repeatedly attacked alleged TTP hideouts inside Afghanistan and demanded that the Afghan Taliban rein in the group from its violent campaign against its security forces.
