Pakistan’s military accuses neighboring India of sponsoring militants in the restive southwestern Balochistan province, which saw an unprecedented attack this week by armed separatists.

India has strongly denied Pakistan's accusation of involvement in the Jaffar Express attack, calling for Pakistan to address its own internal problems instead of blaming India.

Pakistan should “ look inwards ” instead of pointing fingers and shifting the blame for its internal problems and failures on to others, India said on Friday. This came a day after Islamabad accused New Delhi of being involved in “sponsoring terrorism” following a train hijacking in Balochistan.
