India Slams Pakistan's 'Recycled Propaganda' on India-Taliban Nexus Claims

• Pakistan's ISPR accused Afghan Taliban of sponsoring terrorism and alleged India-Taliban links, calling PM Modi a 'new hero' for Taliban.
• Indian intelligence dismissed Pakistan's claims as 'recycled propaganda' and a 'desperate deflection strategy'.
• Allegations follow Chinese pressure on Pakistan over CPEC security and delays, highlighted during a Beijing dialogue.
• India views Pakistan's narrative as an attempt to deflect criticism, justify border closures, and internationalize internal instability.
• Indian officials highlight Pakistan's own record of backing militants and its deadliest year in 2025, dismissing 'Modi hero' narrative as scapegoating.
