The tiff between the two countries

The ever-tensed relations between the two countries, India and Pakistan are evident in almost every aspect of their connection. Pakistan is accused by India of supporting terrorist groups' operations against the country. These terrorist groups include the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). The two terrorist groups have been involved in the terrorist attacks against India and its security forces. India alleges Pakistan of supporting these groups.

What made the tense relations between the India-Pakistan even worse was the Mumbai attacks of 2008. The terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba was held responsible for the terrorist attack. The group is based in Pakistan, and India accused Pakistan of supporting the terrorist group.
