Pakistan’s Defence Minister, Khawaja Asif, revealed in an interview with Sky News that Pakistan has been providing support and funding to terrorist organizations for years, stating that they were carrying out tasks on behalf of the West. Asif emphasized that these groups are interconnected under a religious umbrella but operate through various facades. Additionally, he pointed fingers at India, alleging that they orchestrated the Pahalgam attack. Asif warned of potential retaliation against any Indian provocation and called for the United States to intervene in the escalating tensions. The admission by the Pakistani official sheds light on the complex geopolitical dynamics in South Asia and underscores the need for international cooperation to combat terrorism effectively.
