According to Indian Twitter accounts TTP has claimed responsibility. TTP thanks to our neighbor in the east is hitting our capital and our response is limited to just going after few TTP dumbos in Afghanistan and sometimes in Iran. No offence !!!! but this cowardly policy would only embolden our neighbor in the east.
