Pakistan, Balochistan and the India angle

Firstpost  

While the Pakistan army’s accusations against India for the Jaffar Express attack on March 11 were predictable, it is noteworthy that in the unanimous resolution adopted by the Parliamentary Committee on National Security no specific foreign country was mentioned A week after the Balochistan Liberation Army ’s attack on the Jaffar Express, Pakistan’s Parliamentary Committee on National Security met under the chairmanship of the country’s National Assembly’s Speaker, Sardar Ayaz Sadiq, on March 18. While the army’s accusations against India for the BLA attack on the Jaffar express on March 11 were predictable, it is noteworthy that in the unanimous resolution adopted by the Committee—and which was read out by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif—no specific foreign country was mentioned. Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry also called in the Afghan Taliban authorities Charge d’ Affairs after the Jaffar Express attack to protest against the presence and latitude being shown by Kabul against groups that Pakistan claims are in Afghanistan and attack Pakistan. Hence, instead of the Parliamentary Committee’s statement, the real Pakistani approach towards India after the Jaffar express attack will be determined by the Pakistani army.
