The letter, written by the SFJ, said the Indian government was involved in terrorism activities and it was not relenting. India is constantly trying to sabotage peace in the region for over three decades, it added.

The SFJ said India was behind terrorism incidents in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Karachi’s top cop on Jan 11 declared that investigation into the Chinese Consulate attack in the city revealed that the attack was sponsored by India.

The Karachi police chief said that the planning was done in Afghanistan under the then Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) leader Aslam alias Acchu along with four other men, all of whom were his relatives.

“The attack was India-sponsored,” he said, adding that the terrorist attack was aimed at damaging the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and the friendly relations between the two countries.
