Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju on Thursday trashed Pakistan Foreign Secretary Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry's

accusations about Indian intelligence agency RAW being involved in terror activities across the neighbouring country.

"They should first introspect and see what they are doing. Such allegations mean nothing, India doesn't have such habits," Rijiju said.

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh has also rubbished the Pakistan Foreign Secretary's charges as 'baseless allegations'.

Chaudhry had stated at a press briefing earlier that Pakistan had taken up the matter "a number of times" at the highest level with the Indian authorities, according to the Dawn.

He also reportedly said that if the Indian spy agency was found to be involved in the Karachi attacks then Pakistan would bring up the issue at various international fora

The Islamic State (IS) had yesterday reportedly claimed responsibility for the deadly attack against members of the Ismaili community, which claimed the lives of 45 people and left 11 others injured.

Chaudhry, however, said it was too early to confirm the involvement of Islamic State (IS) in the grisly attack.
