In the given question, a statement of Assertion is followed by a statement of Reason. Mark the correct answer.

Assertion: The government of Pakistan is suspicious of the Indian Government and its security agencies.

Reason: It blames the Indian government and its security agencies for fomenting trouble in the provinces of Sindh and Balochistan.

Both the Assertion and the Reason are correct and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.

But both, the Indian government and Pakistani government continue to be suspicious of each other. The Indian government has blamed the Pakistan government for using a strategy of low-key violence by helping the Kashmiri militants with arms, training, money and protection to carry out terrorist strikes against India. The Indian government also believes that Pakistan had aided the pro- Khalistani militants with arms and ammunitions during the period 1985-1995. Its spy agency, Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), is alleged to be involved in various anti-India campaigns in India’s northeast, operating secretly through Bangladesh and Nepal. The government of Pakistan, in turn, blames the Indian government and its security agencies for fomenting trouble in the provinces of Sindh and Balochistan.
