Pakistan’s former Interior Minister, Rehman Malik, has held India responsible for the Bacha Khan University attack on January 20, in which around 29 people were killed.

In a tweet, Malik implied that the attack was carried out by the Indian Intelligence agency RAW and Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).

Initially, the TTP had claimed responsibility for the attack on the university located in the northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, but they later denied their involvement.

In the aftermath of the Pathankot terror attack, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar had said India had run out of patience to tolerate any further acts of terrorism.

<p>As a Defence Minister, I, too, have run out of it. So we will do something about it, you’ll see.</p>

Malik had said that one should not take Parrikar’s words lightly, according to India Today.

<p>We should not take the threat of India’s defense ministry lightly. Indian agency R&amp;AW is behind the attack on Bacha Khan University. They have reached at an understanding with Tehrik-e-Taliban. Jo Indian defence minister <i>ne kaha</i>...How dare he talk about us...<i>hum kahte hain ki Bacha University unhone karwaya hai</i>.</p>
