Assertion (A) Analysis
Assertion (A) states that India is a victim of State-sponsored terrorism from Pakistan.
- This assertion is generally considered true. India has consistently presented evidence and faced numerous incidents attributed to terrorist groups operating from or supported by Pakistan. International reports have also highlighted concerns regarding Pakistan's role in supporting cross-border terrorism.
Reason (R) Analysis
Reason (R) states that India cannot blame Pakistan for the terrorist strikes.
- This reason is false. If India is indeed a victim of state-sponsored terrorism originating from Pakistan (as stated in Assertion A), it logically follows that India has grounds to blame Pakistan for these actions. The assertion of victimhood directly implies the possibility and justification of blame.
Conclusion
Based on the analysis:
- Assertion (A) is true.
- Reason (R) is false.
This corresponds to the code where (A) is true and (R) is false.
