Pakistan's government rejects NIA's claim of a Lahore-based BKI handler, calling it India's pattern of 'externalising' internal militancy; notes Pakistan's own counter-terrorism operations against militant groups and accuses India of using the BKI narrative to avoid discussing state repression of Sikhs; does not address the specific arrested operatives.

“Pakistan denied the BKI-Lahore handler link, calling it India's pattern of externalising internal security failures.”
