India on Friday (February 7, 2026) categorically rejected Pakistan's allegations of an Indian link to the bombing at a mosque in Islamabad that killed at least 31 people. The powerful explosion took place at Khadijah al-Kubra mosque-cum-imambargah in the Tarlai area of Islamabad, police said in a statement. "The bombing at an Islamabad mosque earlier today is condemnable and India condoles the loss of life it has caused," the MEA said. "India rejects any and every such allegation, which is as baseless as it is pointless," it added. Pakistan Defence Minister Khawaja Asif, without providing any evidence, alleged that India and Afghanistan were linked to the attack.
