Fri May 09 12:40:00 UTC 2025: ## India Accuses Pakistan of State-Sponsored Terrorism, Disputes J-10 Claims Amidst Border Tensions

**London/New Delhi –** Amidst escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, India’s High Commissioner to the UK, Vikram Doraiswami, has leveled serious accusations against Pakistan, alleging state-sponsored terrorism and questioning Islamabad’s credibility.

Doraiswami presented Sky News with a photograph purportedly showing Pakistani military personnel alongside Hafiz Abdul Rauf, an American-sanctioned terrorist. This visual evidence, according to Doraiswami, underscores the deep-seated links between the Pakistani state and terrorist organizations.

The High Commissioner also dismissed recent reports, citing Reuters and unnamed US officials, that Pakistan used Chinese-made J-10 fighter jets to shoot down Indian aircraft. “There is no evidence of that. We haven’t actually confirmed any such thing,” Doraiswami stated. He questioned Pakistan’s rationale for continued aggression even if the reports were accurate, highlighting the contradictory nature of Islamabad’s claims of retaliation against attacks on terror infrastructure.

Doraiswami further cast doubt on Pakistan’s offer for an international probe into the recent Pahalgam attack, citing past failures to cooperate in investigations into the 2016 Pathankot and 2008 Mumbai attacks. He accused Pakistan of using previous offers of cooperation as a means to obfuscate their involvement and protect their assets.

Meanwhile, India’s Foreign Secretary, Vinay Mohan Kwatra (Misri in the original text seems to be a misspelling), announced that India will present its position on Pakistan’s IMF loans at an upcoming board meeting, criticizing Pakistan’s alleged use of these funds to support terrorist groups and its role in the Pahalgam attack.

The escalating border tensions, marked by continued cross-border shelling, underscore a growing distrust between the two nations. Doraiswami’s statements reflect India’s deepening concern over Pakistan’s alleged double game of diplomatic maneuvering while failing to address credible evidence of state-sponsored terrorism.
