Pakistan has been training terrorists for Western countries since last 30 years : Pak Defense Minister

Sensational admission by Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Asif

Islamabad (Pakistan) – Pakistan has been supporting and training terrorists for the last 30 years. Pakistan is doing this ‘dirty work’ for the US and Western countries, admitted Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Asif, in an interview with the British newspaper ‘The Sky’.

Supporting or training terrorists was a big mistake

Journalist Yalda Hakim asked Asif if Pakistan is responsible for the activities of terrorist groups. Asif replied that world powers used Pakistan for their own benefit. Supporting or training terrorists was a big mistake. Pakistan is getting punished for that. (Pakistan has not received any punishment yet. It is yet to be imposed on Pakistan – Editor). If we had not participated in the war against the Soviet Union and the situation that arose after the 9/11 attacks in the US (the attack on the 2 World Trade Center buildings in New York on September 11th, 2001), had not arisen, then Pakistan’s character would have been spotless.

The consequences of a conflict between India and Pakistan will be dangerous

Regarding the attack in Pahalgam, Khawaja Asif said that the ongoing dispute between India and Pakistan could take the form of a major war between the two countries. Whatever India does, Pakistan will respond. If things go wrong, the consequences of this conflict could be dangerous.

India responsible for the Pahalgam attack

Asif said that India, not Pakistan, is responsible for the Pahalgam attack. If India takes any action against us, Pakistan will also respond in the same manner. Pakistan has no other option but to respond. The world should be worried as both countries have nuclear weapons. However, both countries will resolve this issue through talks.

Lashkar-e-Taiba does not exist

When asked about the responsibility of the Pahalgam attack being attributed to ‘The Resistance Front’, Asif said he had never even heard of their name. When the journalist told him that the organisation was a part of Lashkar-e-Taiba, Asif said that Lashkar-e-Taiba is now old. It no longer exists.

Editorial Perspectives

  • It is now revealed why the USA and Western countries never uttered a word against Pakistani terrorists or tried to punish them while they were carrying out anti-India operations.
  • After this admission, India should now declare Pakistan a ‘terrorist country’ and deal with it accordingly; because it is now clear that Western countries will never oppose Pakistan, so India will have to fight this battle alone.
