Nadia (West Bengal) [India], May 2 (ANI): BJP Member of Parliament Jagannath Sarkar on Friday accused Pakistan of deliberately sending infiltrators into India to carry out criminal acts and terror attacks, including bombings.
Speaking to ANI, Jagannath Sarkar claimed that Pakistan has not only facilitated such infiltration but is also refusing to take back its nationals now being repatriated. “Pakistan deliberately sent infiltrators to harm India. Their intentions are not being fulfilled, so they are unwilling to take them back. Pakistan wants to send them here to commit crimes and explosions, but this will not succeed in India,” said the BJP MP.
The statement comes amid the ongoing return of Pakistani nationals through the Attari border, following the Indian government’s decision to cancel all visas issued to Pakistani citizens. This move followed the deadly terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam on April 22, which killed 26 people — one of the most devastating assaults in the region since the 2019 Pulwama attack that claimed the lives of 40 CRPF personnel.
As of April 30, 786 Pakistani nationals had exited India through the Attari border within six days of the visa cancellation, according to a senior government official.
In response to the Pahalgam attack, India has taken strong diplomatic measures against Pakistan. The Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), chaired by the Prime Minister, convened on April 23 to assess the situation. During the meeting, officials highlighted the cross-border connections of the attack and emphasized the government’s zero-tolerance stance on terrorism.
The CCS expressed deep condolences to the victims’ families and reaffirmed its resolve to bring both the perpetrators and the masterminds of the attack to justice. The government has also suspended the Indus Water Treaty — a decades-old water-sharing agreement — as part of its broader strategy to apply diplomatic pressure on Pakistan for allegedly harboring and supporting cross-border terrorism.
These developments come at a time when Jammu and Kashmir is witnessing improved democratic participation and economic development, signaling a shift that India believes Pakistan seeks to disrupt.
