Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif, in a recent interview, acknowledged that Pakistan had been supporting and training terrorists over the past three decades, attributing this to alliances with the US and Western nations during conflicts like the Cold War and post-9/11 operations. He described these actions as a "mistake" that adversely affected Pakistan. This admission aligns with India's longstanding claims about Pakistan's involvement in terrorism. Despite this, Asif accused India of orchestrating the recent Pahalgam terror attack, which resulted in 26 tourist deaths, and denied the existence of Lashkar-e-Taiba, the group blamed for the attack. These statements have intensified tensions between the two countries. (PC: India Today)
