In a shocking revelation, Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif admitted on international media that Pakistan supported and trained terrorists for the US and West over three decades. The statement vindicates India’s longstanding position on Pakistan’s state-sponsored terrorism and comes amid India’s investigation into the recent Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 innocent lives.
While Asif termed the support a “mistake,” he deflected blame onto Western powers and claimed Pakistan was misused as a proxy. He also denied the existence of Lashkar-e-Taiba and The Resistance Front—despite international evidence linking both to past and recent attacks.
Asif accused India of “staging” the Pahalgam incident and warned of an “all-out war” in response to any Indian military action, drawing global concern over escalating tensions between two nuclear nations.
India, meanwhile, has initiated strong diplomatic measures against Pakistan, including suspending the Indus Waters Treaty, cancelling visas, and downgrading diplomatic ties. Prime Minister Modi reiterated India’s firm resolve to track and punish all perpetrators and their backers involved in the Pahalgam massacre.
The global community is watching closely as India calls for accountability and justice in the face of brazen confessions and escalating provocations.
