India has strongly denied suggestions made by the Pakistan foreign office that India had a hand in the Jaffar Express attack. MEA official spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said, "We strongly reject the baseless allegations made by Pakistan.

Following the hijacking of the Jaffar Express by the Balochistan Liberation Army, Pakistan’s foreign ministry spokesperson had accused India of ‘sponsoring terrorism’.

India on Friday dismissed Pakistan's terrorism allegations, stating the world knows the true "epicentre of global terrorism". This came after Islamabad accused India of backing terror but did not directly link it to the Balochistan train attack that killed 21.
