Pak PM makes appeal for neutral probe on Pahalgam attack
NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: As India continues to get World support against the Pahalgam Terror attack that killed 26 people, the pressure on the Pakistani establishment is growing. On Saturday, Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif expressed Islamabad's willingness to participate in a "neutral, transparent, and credible" probe into the attack, Dawn reported.
Addressing a passing-out parade at the Pakistan Military Academy in Kakul, situated in the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, PM Shehbaz said, "Continuing with its role as a responsible country, Pakistan is open to participating in any neutral, transparent and credible investigation."
Calling Pakistan the "world's frontline state against terrorism," Shehbaz Sharif further claimed that the country has "endured immense loss."
"As the world's frontline state against terrorism, we have endured immense loss, without 90,000 casualties and economic losses beyond imagination, exceeding USD 600 billion," PM Shehbaz stated, according to Dawn.
A day earlier, Pakistan's Defence Minister Khwaja Asif had admitted that his country has been funding and backing terrorist groups.
In a video clip that went viral, Pakistan's Defence Minister was in conversation with Sky News's Yalda Hakim, when she asked him, "But you do admit, you do admit, sir, that Pakistan has had a long history of backing and supporting and training and funding these terrorist organisations?"
Khwaja Asif in his reply said, "We have been doing this dirty work for the United States for about three decades... and the West, including Britain...That was a mistake, and we suffered for that, and that is why you are saying this to me. If we had not joined the war against the Soviet Union and later on the war after 9/11, Pakistan's track record was unimpeachable."
The Pakistani Defence Minister in the interview with Sky News presenter Yalda Hakim warned of an "all-out war" with India.
