Pakistan’s Defence Minister Makes Startling Admission, Exposes Country’s Terror Links Amid Rising Tensions with India
In a series of provocative and troubling statements, Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has once again claimed that India is poised to attack “within 48 hours” — a narrative he has been pushing repeatedly in recent days. While such alarmist rhetoric has been characteristic of political discourse in Pakistan, this time it comes at a particularly sensitive moment, following a series of revelations that have deeply embarrassed the Pakistani establishment on the international stage.
Exposed on the Global Stage
The Defence Minister’s own Twitter (now X) account has been withheld in India, a move that reflects India’s firm stance on digital platforms that propagate inflammatory or anti-India narratives. But what has truly shocked the global community is Khawaja Asif’s recent statement, where he openly admitted Pakistan’s long-standing support for terrorist activities — and claimed that such actions were carried out under the directives of the United States and Western allies.
This stunning admission has been widely seen as a diplomatic “own goal.” India wasted no time in using this confession to its advantage, highlighting it at the United Nations to slam Pakistan’s global reputation. Indian representatives pointed out that this was not an allegation from outside — but a confession from within Pakistan’s own cabinet
India’s Firm Response at the United Nations
India’s representative at the UN delivered a powerful rebuttal to Pakistan’s recent allegations and provocations, stating that the world need not look further than the Defence Minister of Pakistan to understand the nation’s role in sponsoring terrorism. “Khawaja Asif has exposed his own country,” the Indian envoy asserted, “and this confession is further evidence that Pakistan has become a rogue state — a serious threat to international peace and stability.
The Definition of a Rogue State
The term “rogue state” refers to a country that defies international norms and acts as a disruptor to global peace. With Khawaja Asif’s televised admission about decades of support for terrorism — including training and funding militants — the global community is being forced to reckon with a harsh reality. Pakistan’s history of providing sanctuary and material support to terrorist organizations is no longer a matter of diplomatic dispute; it is now a matter of public record, thanks to the words of its own Defence Minister.
Western Media’s Dubious Coverage
While this news should have shaken major international media houses, outlets like the BBC have come under scrutiny for their portrayal of recent events. Following a deadly terror attack on Indian tourists in Jammu and Kashmir, headlines such as “Pakistan suspends visas for Indians after deadly Kashmir attack” have drawn criticism for distorting the narrative. Such framing could mislead readers into thinking Pakistan was the victim rather than the country Giving refuge to those responsible for the attack.
Moreover, the BBC and similar platforms continue to use soft terminology like “gunmen” or “militants” instead of explicitly such attackers as “terrorists.” This editorial choice raises serious questions about bias and journalistic responsibility
India’s Message to Western Media
In response, the Indian government has issued a stern message to the BBC and other media outlets, urging them to reflect more accurately and responsibly on issues related to terrorism and Pakistan’s role in regional instability. This move is part of a broader campaign by India to counter pro-Pakistan narratives in both international and domestic media.
Conclusion
The latest revelations from Pakistan’s Defence Minister have not only discredited Islamabad on the global stage but also provided India with powerful diplomatic ammunition. As tensions continue to simmer, one thing is clear: Pakistan’s credibility has taken a severe blow, and Khawaja Asif’s remarks may have done more damage to his own country than any foreign criticism ever could.
