Title: Pakistan’s Defence Minister Exposes His Own Nation on Global Stage, India Responds Sharply at the UN
Today’s episode sheds light on a major geopolitical blunder by Pakistan’s Defence Minister, Khawaja Asif, that has not only embarrassed his country internationally but also provided India with strong ammunition to expose Pakistan’s terror links at global platforms like the United Nations.
Khawaja Asif’s Startling Admission on Terrorism
In a recent interview on international television, Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif openly admitted that Pakistan has a history of supporting, training, and funding terrorist organizations. He further stated that these actions were taken under the pressure of the West and the United States.
This statement, unsurprisingly, has triggered sharp reactions globally, and India has used it as a diplomatic weapon. At the United Nations, India cited Asif’s admission to label Pakistan as a “rogue state” — a term reserved for countries that pose a serious threat to international peace and security.
India’s Strong Stand at the United Nations
India, in its statement at the UN, quoted Khawaja Asif’s confession directly and accused Pakistan of fueling global terrorism. The Indian representative clearly stated:
“The whole world has heard Pakistan’s Defence Minister admitting and confessing Pakistan’s history of supporting, training, and funding terrorist organizations… This open confession surprises no one and exposes Pakistan as a rogue state destabilizing the region.”
Pakistan had no counter to this bold assertion because their own minister had exposed the country’s role in sponsoring terrorism.
The Role of Journalist Yalda Hakim
This crucial admission by Khawaja Asif came during a hard-hitting interview conducted by Australian journalist Yalda Hakim. Born in Afghanistan and aware of Pakistan’s role in manipulating regional conflicts for decades, Hakim pressed Asif with direct questions. Her bold journalism cornered Asif into admitting Pakistan’s long-standing links with terrorism.
Western Media’s Soft Approach Towards Pakistan
While India has taken a firm stance, certain Western media outlets, particularly BBC, have been criticized for their biased and misleading headlines. For instance, headlines like “Pakistan suspends visas for Indians after deadly Kashmir attack” subtly shift the focus, often avoiding the term “terrorist” and using softer alternatives like “gunmen” or “militants.”
Such narratives help Pakistan gain sympathy or mislead international audiences. In response, the Indian government has officially written to BBC, demanding accurate terminology and responsible reporting. The message is clear: call terrorists what they are — terrorists.
China’s Continued Support for Pakistan at the UN
While Pakistan faces global scrutiny, China continues to provide diplomatic cover for its ally. Recently, China helped Pakistan block a proposal at the UN Security Council that sought to blacklist The Resistance Front (TRF), an offshoot of Lashkar-e-Taiba. Despite Pakistan claiming no links with such groups, it actively shields them at the UN — further exposing its duplicity.
India has rightly decided not to support China in any trade or tariff negotiations, recognizing Beijing’s blind support for terrorism-linked nations as a geopolitical mistake that will cost it dearly in the long run.
India’s Strategic Moves: Indus Water Treaty and Beyond
Another critical move by India has been the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, a decision that can severely impact Pakistan’s agriculture sector. International reports have highlighted that Pakistani farmers fear starvation, and this pressure could force Islamabad to rethink its support for terror proxies.
However, the root problem remains the hybrid civil-military rule in Pakistan that still promotes terrorism as state policy. Until that changes, India will be forced to take hard actions.
A Final Word
In conclusion, Khawaja Asif’s reckless admission has become a diplomatic win for India, allowing it to expose Pakistan’s reality at the world stage. But as new developments unfold — including potential kinetic military actions — one thing remains clear: India will no longer tolerate terrorism, and those who shield it will be held accountable.
