**India Denounces Pakistan’s “Baseless” Accusation of Involvement in Balochistan Bus Blast**
**New Delhi – May 21, 2025 -** The Indian Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has vehemently rejected allegations made by Pakistan linking India to a deadly bus blast in the Khuzdar district of Balochistan. The incident, which occurred earlier today (May 21, 2025), resulted in the deaths of at least five people, including three children, and left dozens injured.
MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal issued a statement condemning the attack and expressing condolences for the loss of life. However, he firmly dismissed the Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s claims of Indian involvement as “baseless.” Sharif reportedly blamed India for the attack without providing any supporting evidence.
“India rejects the baseless allegations made by Pakistan regarding Indian involvement with the incident in Khuzdar earlier today. India condoles the loss of lives in all such incidents,” Jaiswal stated.
The MEA spokesperson further accused Pakistan of attempting to deflect attention from its own internal issues, including its reputation as a global hub for terrorism. “However, in order to divert attention from its reputation as the global epicentre of terrorism and to hide its own gross failings, it has become second nature for Pakistan to blame India for all its internal issues. This attempt to hoodwink the world is doomed to fail,” the statement read.
According to reports, the bus was carrying schoolchildren when it was targeted in Khuzdar. Pakistani Prime Minister Sharif is reportedly traveling to Quetta, the capital of Balochistan, with Army chief Field Marshal Asim Munir to visit the injured and receive a briefing on the investigation.
