India on Tuesday rubbished as absurd and totally baseless Pakistan's allegations that it was supporting and sponsoring Taliban along the border with Afghanistan and said it was the greatest threat to world peace.

Malik had yesterday claimed that India was fomenting unrest within Pakistan through steps such as funding Taliban fighters based along the border with Afghanistan.
In an interview to a TV news channel, Malik said he was convinced India is among certain hostile agencies that are backing the Taliban to create instability in Pakistan.
In Bangalore, External Affairs Minister SM Krishna had yesterday rejected the charges, saying, "We want Taliban and Talibanism to be totally eliminated."
