'Grave concern...': Pakistan's Andrabi slams India over Purohit's elevation amid Samjhauta case

The Pakistan Foreign Office held its regular weekly press briefing in Islamabad, addressing key national and international issues. During the briefing, officials shared updates on Pakistan’s foreign policy, regional developments, and ongoing diplomatic engagements. These weekly briefings provide important insights into the country’s stance on global affairs. On regional issues, Andrabi expressed “grave concern” over India’s promotion of Colonel Purohit — an accused in the 2007 Samjhauta Express bombing — to the rank of Brigadier. “This also shows the bigoted mindset of the Government of India,” he said, linking the move to broader patterns of institutional bias. He also condemned India’s actions in Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, urging New Delhi to “stop the atrocities against the people of Occupied Kashmir and Indian Muslims.”
