New Delhi: The diplomatic stand-off between India and Pakistan is escalating with Pakistan Defence Minister Khwaja Asif on Monday accusing India of helping terror groups in Pakistan carry out "heinous acts".
Asif further alleged that India has 'designs on Pakistan' and claimed that the Taliban has links with India. "The Taliban have links with India. Also, India's involvement in the insurgency in Balochistan cannot be ignored," he said.
However, when asked to provide evidence for his claim, the minister dodged the question and proceeded to claim that a low intensity war was underway. He stated that his allegations were based as much on conviction as on experience.

Rubbishing the claims, India hit back at Pakistan saying that it is clear to everyone that India is not the country aiding terror groups. "We all know, who is upstreaming terrorism and who endeavours to downstream terrorism. It is certainly not India. We all also know that the main threat to peace and security in Afghanistan comes from terrorism," said External Ministry Affairs spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin said.
Asif's comments come a day after Advisor to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on National Security and Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz accused India of involvement in terror acts carried out from Afghanistan's soil in Pakistan.
