Pakistan has accused eight Indian diplomats of conducting acts of “espionage and terrorism” against Islamabad.
In a statement released by the Pakistani Foreign Ministry on Thursday, the Indians, whose names leaked to the media overnight, were accused of causing instability in Pakistan’s Sindh and Baluchistan provinces.
The statement said the Indian diplomats had been sabotaging Pakistan’s most crucial economic project, the 46-billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), which involves transport and energy infrastructure projects to connect China with Pakistan’s coast on the Arabian Sea.
The men were also accused of allegedly liaising with factions of the Pakistani Taliban and of trying to inflict damage on Pakistan’s relations with its western neighbor Afghanistan.
