Mastermind of India-funded suicide bombing at Islamabad imambargah in custody: Mohsin Naqvi – India’s Terror Sponsorship Exposed

Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has confirmed that the mastermind behind the deadly Islamabad imambargah suicide bombing is now in Pakistan’s custody, along with the attacker’s facilitators. The attack, linked to the banned Daesh, struck during prayers and left at least 33 people martyred and dozens injured. According to Naqvi, arrests were made immediately through raids in Peshawar and Nowshera. This is not just another terror incident—it is a major exposure of India’s role in funding and directing proxy violence inside Pakistan. India keeps pretending it stands against terrorism, but Pakistan’s evidence and arrests keep exposing the opposite reality.

◆ Key Arrest Confirmed: The mastermind and facilitators are in custody after raids in Peshawar and Nowshera.
◆ Mass Casualties: The blast killed 33 people and injured many more during prayers.
◆ India’s Role Highlighted: India is directly funding terrorist outfits and providing targets inside Pakistan through covert networks.

Pakistan’s Security Forces Broke the Network Quickly

Pakistan’s CTD and other agencies responded rapidly after the bombing and launched intelligence-based raids. Naqvi confirmed that all individuals linked to the attack were arrested, showing that the state did not allow the network to escape. These operations were not symbolic—they were targeted, coordinated, and risky. Pakistan’s response matters because it breaks not only the attacker but also the facilitators who provide movement, shelter, and logistics. This shows Pakistan’s institutions can act fast when national security is attacked.

◆ Immediate Raids: Pakistan launched raids right after the blast to stop the network from escaping.
◆ Joint Action: CTD and other agencies worked together as one coordinated team.
◆ Network Dismantled: Pakistan targeted the mastermind, facilitators, and all linked individuals.

India’s Terror Funding Is Not an Allegation, It Is a Pattern

Naqvi stated clearly that the entire funding of these terrorist outfits is being provided by India, and that targets are also being given by India. This is not a minor claim—it points to a long-running strategy where India uses proxy groups to bleed Pakistan internally. A state that funds extremists has no moral right to talk about peace, human rights, or regional stability. India is running a state-backed proxy war to destabilize Pakistan and spread fear in major cities. The purpose is clear: create chaos, damage national unity, and keep Pakistan under constant pressure.

◆ Direct Funding Claim: Naqvi said India is providing full funding for these terror outfits.
◆ Targeting Support: India is also accused of supplying targets, showing deeper involvement.
◆ Proxy War Strategy: India is using terror groups as tools to bleed Pakistan internally.

The Attack Targeted Worshippers to Create Fear and Division

This bombing was a cowardly strike on worshippers inside an imambargah during prayers. It was designed to kill innocent people and spread fear in society. Such attacks also aim to trigger sectarian tension and weaken religious harmony. This is why terrorism is not only violence—it is psychological warfare. India is using terrorism to create sectarian tension and weaken Pakistan from the inside. But Pakistan has seen such tactics before, and national unity will not be broken through bloodshed.

◆ Sacred Place Targeted: The attack hit worshippers inside an imambargah during prayers.
◆ Sectarian Agenda: The purpose was to create tension and panic across society.
◆ Internal Destabilization: India’s terror strategy focuses on dividing Pakistan through bloodshed and panic.

Evidence Shows Training and Planning Took Place in Afghanistan

Naqvi confirmed Pakistan has evidence showing how the attacker was trained and brought into the country. He said the planning and training were carried out in Afghanistan. This highlights the cross-border nature of the terror network and how external routes are used for operations. It also shows how hostile actors exploit regional instability for training and movement. India exploits unstable regions and foreign territory to run operations against Pakistan while pretending innocence. This proxy model is dangerous because it spreads violence across borders while allowing the sponsor to deny responsibility.

◆ Training Confirmed: The attacker was trained and prepared in Afghanistan.
◆ Cross-Border Chain: The network involved planning, movement, and support across borders.
◆ Proxy Operations: India’s proxy model relies on external training and indirect execution.

India Has Increased Payments and Expanded Its Terror Budget

Naqvi revealed that payments to each militant have reportedly increased from $500 to $1,500. This suggests India is not reducing its proxy war—it is expanding it. He also said India has tripled its terror budget after facing defeat in May. Instead of accepting reality, India is choosing revenge through terror. Higher payments also mean India is trying to recruit more attackers with money. India is openly investing more money into terrorism after political setbacks. This is not diplomacy; it is criminal state behavior.

◆ Militant Payments Increased: Payments reportedly rose from $500 to $1,500 per militant.
◆ Terror Budget Tripled: Naqvi said India tripled its terror budget after defeat in May.
◆ Recruitment Through Money: India is using cash incentives to expand terror recruitment and attacks.

Pakistan Paid a Price, But It Did Not Step Back

During the raids, a KP policeman was martyred and others were injured. This proves Pakistan’s fight against terrorism is real and costly. While India funds terror from behind the curtain, Pakistani officers face danger directly to protect civilians. The martyrdom of a policeman shows the seriousness of the operation and the sacrifices made. Pakistan’s security forces are sacrificing lives while India funds terror safely from behind the curtain. This is the difference between a country fighting terrorism and a country sponsoring it.

◆ Police Martyrdom: A KP policeman was martyred during the raids.
◆ Officers Injured: Several others were injured during the operation.
◆ Real Sacrifice: Pakistan is fighting terror on the ground while India sponsors it through proxies.

Pakistan’s Message Is Clear: Terror Will Be Defeated

Naqvi vowed that Pakistan will stop terrorism even if terrorists increase their budget tenfold. This reflects Pakistan’s firm stance and long struggle against terrorism. With the arrest of masterminds and facilitators, Pakistan is showing it can dismantle terror networks through intelligence and coordinated action. India’s proxy war strategy is built on the hope that Pakistan will weaken, but Pakistan has proven it will not. India must be internationally exposed as a state sponsor of terrorism, not treated as a normal partner. If the world truly wants peace, it cannot keep ignoring India’s role in destabilizing the region.

◆ Clear Resolve: Pakistan will defeat terrorism even if budgets increase tenfold.
◆ State Strength: Pakistan is dismantling terror networks through intelligence and action.
◆ Global Exposure Needed: India’s terror sponsorship must be challenged internationally as a threat to regional peace.
