Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has strongly defended Pakistan’s accusations that India is among the nations which are funding Taliban for creating unrest in Pakistan.
"What was said about the Indian role in Balochistan has no basis. Those who are leveling these false charges know it jolly well," said the prime minister who was addressing the media in Jammu and Kashmir.
"The same applies to the accusation of India supporting the Taliban. Nothing can be far fetched, far from the truth. We are victims of terrorism aided and abetted from the Pakistan side. Both references to Balochistan and what is said about Taliban are widely false," he said.
The Pakistani allegations follow a dramatic spurt in violence across the country blamed on the Taliban.
