Pakistan’s Defence Minister Admits to Supporting Terrorist Organizations: Major International Fallout
Today, a major development has taken the international stage by storm. A video featuring Pakistan’s Defence Minister, Khawaja Asif, has gone viral across social media. In this video, he openly admits that Pakistan has been supporting terrorist organizations for decades, largely at the behest of the United States and other Western powers.
This admission, made openly in front of a reporter, has shocked many. If you browse social media today, you will see Khawaja Asif’s video trending everywhere, where he bluntly states that Pakistan has funded and trained terrorist groups. His words were:
“We have been doing this dirty work for the United States for about three decades, including Britain.”
The reporter present during the interview appeared stunned and repeatedly questioned the minister. She highlighted that supporting terrorism cannot be justified simply because, decades ago, during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, certain alliances were formed. She further pointed out that even after the fall of the Soviet Union, Osama Bin Laden lived luxuriously in Pakistan, and today, several UN-designated terrorists are still based there.
Despite these questions, the Defence Minister could not present a satisfactory justification, but the most crucial point is that Pakistan’s government is now being forced to admit internationally that it has supported terrorism.
Why This Admission Matters
Some may argue, “What difference does it make? The world already knew Pakistan was backing terrorists.”
True — the world has long suspected this. Osama Bin Laden’s presence in Abbottabad, Pakistan, was no secret after the US operation that killed him. However, an open and official admission from a sitting Defence Minister strengthens India’s stance internationally.
India has now moved decisively by suspending the Indus Waters Treaty with Pakistan — a treaty that regulates the sharing of river waters between the two countries. It’s important to note that the treaty has been suspended, not terminated, meaning it can potentially be revived in the future.
Official documents from India’s Ministry of Jal Shakti (Water Resources) reveal that the suspension references Pakistan’s support for terrorism as a primary reason. The letter, dated April 24, 2025, cites “fundamental changes in circumstances” since the treaty’s signing in 1960, including:
- Changes in population demographics.
- The urgent need for accelerated clean energy development.
- Persistent cross-border terrorism destabilizing the region.
The letter also points out that Pakistan’s breach of good faith obligations under the treaty has created security uncertainties, impacting India’s rights to use its share of the waters.
Visible Impact on the Ground
Already, India has begun to hold back water flows at several major dams.
For instance, at the Baglihar Dam, the water that would have flowed towards Pakistan is now being stored within India.
Other dams are also seeing similar measures, with gates closed to limit water release.
While building new dams and related infrastructure will take time, India has started to move at a record-breaking pace to ensure that Pakistan’s water supply under the treaty is reduced.
Why Pakistan Will Face Heavy Losses
Pakistan is now trying to downplay the situation, claiming that no formal notification was received. However, India has made the official documents public.
As the case heads inevitably towards the International Court of Justice, India will have strong evidence to argue that Pakistan’s open support for terrorism justifies revisiting and modifying the treaty.
Pakistan often invokes the World Bank’s involvement in the Indus Waters Treaty, but it must be understood:
While the World Bank helped facilitate the treaty, it is not the legal custodian of the agreement. Any legal proceedings will be settled internationally, and India’s position — bolstered by direct admissions from Pakistan’s own Defence Minister — will be very strong.
Conclusion
Pakistan’s Defence Minister’s shocking admission on an international platform marks a historic moment.
India now has concrete grounds to push for modifications to the Indus Waters Treaty, secure its water rights, and internationally expose Pakistan’s double standards on terrorism.
