Pakistan’s defense minister recently confessed to engaging in “dirty work” for the United States and the West over the past 30 years, recognizing it as a regretful decision that resulted in hardship. In the aftermath of the Pahalgam attack, which claimed the lives of 26 individuals, the government took swift action by halting the implementation of the Indus Waters Treaty, shutting down the Attari ICP, and downsizing diplomatic personnel. This revelation has sparked a wave of controversy and scrutiny, shedding light on Pakistan’s complex relationship with foreign powers. The admission by the defense minister has raised questions about the country’s sovereignty and its role in international affairs. The Pahalgam attack has not only resulted in tragic loss of life but has also exposed the vulnerabilities and challenges faced by Pakistan in maintaining security and stability in the region. As tensions escalate and diplomatic relations are strained, the future remains uncertain for Pakistan as it navigates through this tumultuous period. The government’s response to the attack underscores the gravity of the situation and the need for decisive action to address the root causes of such incidents. The repercussions of these recent events are likely to have far-reaching implications for Pakistan’s foreign policy and national security strategy, as it grapples with the fallout from the Pahalgam attack and the defense minister’s startling admission.
