ISLAMABAD: In the wake of a deadly suicide attack on a Pakistan Coast Guard camp in Jiwani, Gwadar, Pakistani security officials have leveled serious allegations against India, claiming that the incident exposes New Delhi’s continued sponsorship of terrorism in the region. The accusation comes as officials pointed to the coverage of the attack by Indian media, which they allege serves as a propaganda tool for the banned Baloch Liberation Army (BLA).
According to initial investigations by security sources, the suicide bomber has been identified as Attaullah, son of Ghazi Khan, a resident of Awaran district in Balochistan. Sources indicated that while the attacker was previously listed as an “enforced disappearance” by the Baloch Solidarity Committee (BYC), he has now been identified as a terrorist affiliated with the Baloch Liberation Front (LF). The Majeed Brigade of the BLA has claimed responsibility for the assault, which reportedly resulted in multiple personnel casualties.
Official sources are framing this identity shift as a critical piece of evidence, suggesting that external actors are exploiting local grievances to destabilize Pakistan. The focus on Indian media’s coverage is being used to reinforce the narrative that India is actively funding and facilitating terrorist activities inside Pakistani territory to disrupt the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and regional security.
“The coverage by Indian media is a clear evidence of their involvement,” a security official stated, while vowing to thoroughly investigate the incident and take action against those responsible for orchestrating the attack. The government has assured that the perpetrators and their foreign backers will be brought to justice.
