Pakistan’s Defence Minister, Khawaja Asif, made a startling confession during an interview with Sky News, acknowledging that Pakistan has sheltered and financially supported terrorist groups, justifying it as carrying out the “dirty work” for the West over the years. Asif described these organizations as a single religiously motivated entity operating under various guises. In a provocative move, he also alleged that India orchestrated the Pahalgam attack and issued a warning of potential reprisals against any Indian military actions, while calling for American intervention in the escalating tensions. The remarks made by Asif have raised concerns about Pakistan’s role in sponsoring terrorism and its strained relations with neighboring India.
