India on Friday (February 7, 2026) categorically rejected Pakistan’s allegations of Indian involvement in the bomb blast at a mosque in Islamabad that killed at least 31 people. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) described the attack as “reprehensible”, saying it was “unfortunate that, instead of seriously addressing the problems affecting its social fabric, Pakistan chose to delude itself by blaming others for its domestic ills. ” A bomber blew himself up at a Shia mosque during Friday prayers in Islamabad, killing at least 31 people and injuring 169 others.

The powerful blast took place at the Khadija al-Kubra Mosque-cum-Imambargah in Islamabad’s Tarlai area, police said in a statement. The Ministry of External Affairs said, “Today’s bomb blast in a mosque in Islamabad is condemnable and India condoles the loss of life and property caused by it. ” It said, “It is unfortunate that instead of seriously addressing the problems that threaten its social fabric, Pakistan should delude itself by blaming others for its domestic ills.

” “India rejects any such allegation, which is as baseless as it is preposterous,” it said. Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Asif alleged without providing any evidence that India and Afghanistan were linked to the attack. In a social media post he claimed that it has been proven that the terrorists involved in the attack came to and from Afghanistan.

He alleged, “The nexus between India and Afghanistan is being exposed. “.
