Khuzdar, Balochistan — A deadly suicide bombing struck a school bus affiliated with an army-run institution near Khuzdar, Balochistan, on Tuesday, killing at least five people—including three children—and leaving dozens more injured. The targeted attack has ignited a diplomatic storm, with the pro-Khalistan group Sikhs For Justice (SFJ) explicitly accusing India’s intelligence agency, the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), of orchestrating the bombing.

> “The ruthless bombing of the Pakistan Army School bus in Balochistan bears all the hallmarks of India’s Modi government,” SFJ stated in a strongly worded message condemning the attack.

According to local authorities, the explosion occurred at Zero Point, approximately 9 kilometers from Khuzdar’s city center. The vehicle used in the attack reportedly carried over 30 kilograms of explosives and was driven directly into the school bus.

SFJ: RAW Backing Regional Proxies to Destabilize Pakistan
Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, legal advisor to SFJ, alleged that the Indian government is waging a covert terror campaign through RAW by funding and arming regional militant groups.

> “India’s Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) is arming and funding regional proxies to push transnational terrorism across Pakistan. The evidence surrounding this attack points directly to the dirty war Modi is waging through covert terror operations,” said Pannun.

In a controversial statement, Pannun also issued a provocative challenge, questioning the legitimacy of Indian cities known for Hindutva ideology:

> “If Hindutva terrorism is born in Ayodhya and nurtured in Nagpur, then are these cities legitimate targets? Ayodhya is no longer just a temple project — it is a breeding ground for radical Hindutva ideology that exports violence beyond India’s borders.”

Support for Pakistan’s Sovereignty
Pannun reaffirmed SFJ’s solidarity with Pakistan and its military:

“We stand with the Pakistan Army and declare that we will not allow Indian forces to use Punjab as a launchpad to wage war against Pakistan.”

SFJ also expressed deep condolences to the families affected by the bombing:

“We mourn with the families of the school children massacred in this cowardly attack. No child in Pakistan should be a casualty of Modi’s obsession with Hindutva terrorism.”

Pakistan-India Diplomatic Tensions Escalate
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif denounced the attack as a “cowardly act” and echoed accusations against India. Meanwhile, India’s Ministry of External Affairs categorically denied any involvement, labeling Pakistan’s claims as “baseless” and “politically motivated.”
