[GEO.TV] Pakistan has "credible evidence" for Indian agents' link to the killings of two of its citizens on Pakistani soil, Foreign Secretary Syrus Qazi said Thursday, exposing the “sophisticated and sinister” Indian campaign of extra-territorial and extra-judicial killings. The statement comes months after both Canada and the United States separately accused Indian agents of being linked to assassination attempts on their soil. However, New Delhi has rejected Ottawa's allegations and has launched an investigation into Washington’s claims. "These are killings-for-hire cases involving a sophisticated international set-up spread over multiple jurisdictions," Foreign Secretary Syrus Qazi told reporters during a press conference in Islamabad. Already strained by historical baggage and border disputes, Islamabad and New Delhi's ties hit new lows after 2016's Kulbushan Yadav spy arrest and the 2019 revocation of Indian Illegal Occupied Jammu and Kashmir's (IIOJK) special status. The Kashmir move, a blatant violation of international laws, froze diplomacy and choked trade between the two adjoining countries. Pakistan has, for more than four years, conditioned restoring ties with its nuclear neighbour to the restoration of IIOJK’s special status. Pakistan says Indian agents involved in killing of two citizens on its soil [GEO.TV] The US State Department on Thursday declined to comment on India’s involvement in the murder of two Pak nationals in Sialkot and Rawalakot in 2023. Foreign Secretary Muhammad Syrus Sajjad Qazi made the revelation earlier today in a presser, where he said that Shahid Latif was assassinated outside a mosque in Sialkot on October 11 while Muhammad Riaz was "assassinated during Fajr prayers inside a mosque in Rawalakot on September 8. He said that the law enforcement agencies have apprehended the button mans'>button men involved in the liquidation attempts and the investigations confirmed New Delhi’s hand into these murders. When asked for a response comment on the pressing matter, a US State Department spokesperson declined to comment. "I would refer you to Pak authorities on this and have nothing further to add," the official said in an email response to Geo.tv. "Today, Pakistain said that they have arrested Indian agents allegedly involved in the killing of two Pak nationals on its soil in a similar fashion as a Sikh leader was assassinated in Canada," he was asked. The query had also mentioned the Indian attempts to assassinate a US national on its soil. However, you can observe a lot just by watching... the government of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi rejected Ottawa's allegations and has launched an investigation into Washington’s claims.
