NEW DELHI: India on Friday rejected Pakistan’s allegations of supporting terrorism in connection with the Balochistan train attack, advising Islamabad to reflect on its shortcomings instead of blaming others for its failures.New Delhi also said that the whole world knows “where the epicentre of global terrorism lies.”The Indian response came after Pakistan on Thursday accused India of “sponsoring terrorism” without directly implicating it in the Balochistan train hijack that killed 21 passengers.”We strongly reject the baseless allegations made by Pakistan,” External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said, responding to media queries on Islamabad’s allegations.He went on to say: “The whole world knows where the epicentre of global terrorism lies. Pakistan should look inwards instead of pointing fingers and shifting the blame for its internal problems and failures on others.”At a weekly press briefing, Pakistan’s Foreign Office spokesperson, Shafqat Ali Khan, was asked several questions regarding the deadly attack on Tuesday, which resulted in a hostage situation lasting over 24 hours.
