The Minister of External Affairs on Sunday rejected allegations made by Pakistani officials linking India to the militant attack in Karachi on Saturday.

“Instead of pointing fingers at others, Pakistan would do better to look inwards, take credible action against the terror infrastructure on its territory and rid itself of its proclivity to rely on terrorism as an instrument of state policy,” ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said.

On Saturday, at least three personnel of the Pakistan Rangers were killed and four injured in the militant attack in Karachi. The gunmen had blasted the gate of the Rangers' camp and tried to breach perimeter security.

On Sunday, the Pakistan military had claimed without providing evidence that the attack had been carried out by a group, which it alleged is an Indian proxy.

On Monday, Pakistani Information Minister Attaullah Tarar said that the country had carried out airstrikes in eastern Afghanistan in response to the attack in Karachi and other incidents in the border regions, AFP reported.
