Former Pakistan minister Hina Rabbani Khar walked out of a live television news debate when she was asked to respond to questions on terrorism and the Army’s supremacy in so-called democratic Pakistan.
Indian journalist Barkha Dutt appeared on UK journalist Piers Morgan’s “Uncensored" talk show where Khar was also present to discuss India-Pakistan tensions in the wake of Operation Sindoor. Khar repeatedly dodged the questions on terrorists in Pakistan and even Morgan accused her of being involved in a “whataboutery".
When Dutti pressed her to answer if Lashkar and Jaish were “terror groups", the former minister refused to acknowledge them as terrorists and said, “This is the narrative you have been putting up for the last 20 years. I will not stop myself to answer this."
When Morgan asked her if these terror groups are operating with impunity in Pakistan, Khar said, “I would reject your last comment. Pakistan is the country which is trying to correct the wrongs."

Khar’s screen on the live-streaming feed turned black later when Dutt was grilling her and Pakistan on terrorism and its Army’s interference in governments.
In a video shared on X, Dutt was heard saying: “Modi is an elected prime minister of India in his third term unlike Prime ministers of Pakistan who are appointed by the Army, jailed or exiled. Your country is in turmoil because Imran Khan has been jailed. Shehbaz Sharif an Army-appointed PM. Did you know what your defence minister Khwaja Asif said in an interview that Pakistan used terrorism? Pakistan is doing a dirty job of other countries by using terrorism…"

Khar was appointed as the Foreign Minister of Pakistan in July 2011, the first woman to have held the position.
In a post on X, journalist Vir Sanghvi called Khar a “fool".
Almost 15 days after the Pahalgam terror attack, India conducted retaliatory strikes on Pakistan, killing around 100 terrorists in terror camps in Pakistan and PoK. The tensions escalated after Pakistan launched attacks on civilians and military infrastructure in India, prompting swift retaliatory strikes from New Delhi again. The tensions ended after a ceasefire was announced on May 10.
