He said that "Therefore, Indians are targeted. Add to that, their Pakistani mentors are not too happy with our ("sic") presence in Afghanistan." Phunchok Stobdan, a senior fellow at the Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses, also said that despite being the apparent target of the attack and some prior pressure from Washington to back off, given Pakistani sensitivities—India is still not likely to walk away from its Afghan commitments which include $1.1 billion in ongoing development projects. He said, "No one in India is willing to sacrifice Afghanistan for the sake of Af-Pak strategy. India-Afghan relations are very strong and very old, even during the British period." India's previous accusations against the Pakistani spy agency were again brought to fore as speculation started that the ISI may have been involved.
