Pakistan warned India that by granting asylum to Baloch leader Brahamdagh Bugti, it will become an “official sponsor of terrorism”.
“India granting asylum to Bugti will amount to harbouring a terrorist by a state...Thus (India) becoming official sponsor of terrorism,” Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif tweeted. Asif’s remarks came after it emerged that Bugti’s application seeking political asylum in India was yesterday received by the Home Ministry which is examining it. Bugti, who has been living in Switzerland, on Tuesday approached the Indian
Embassy in Geneva seeking asylum in India and exuded confidence of a positive response from New Delhi.
