Pakistan I&B minister Attaullah Tarar was left speechless and stumped in a television interview shortly after India struck Pakistan and PoK under Operation Sindoor early Wednesday.
Tarar claimed that Pakistan did not have terrorist camps, a brazen statement which was immediately fact-checked by Sky News anchor Yalda Hakim, who pointed out Pakistan Defence Minister Khawaja Asif’s recent admission on her earlier show that his country has been doing this “dirty work" for the United States for three decades.
“Let me make it very clear, there are no terrorist camps in Pakistan. Pakistan is a victim of terrorism. We are the frontline state against terrorism. Indi,a on the other hand, when we had the Jafar Express hijacking, India did not even condemn it," Tarar claimed on the show.
As the anchor pointed out, Asif’s recent admission, the Pakistani minister invited her to Pakistan.
“Post 9/11 was the frontline state in eliminating terrorism. I would like to invite you to Pakistan," he said.
She reminded Tarar that Osama bin Laden, the 9/11 mastermind who was gunned down by the US military in Pakistan in 2011, was found in Abbottabad.
“I have been to Pakistan, and we know that Osama Bin Laden was discovered in Abbottabad in Pakistan," she responded.
Terming India as the “aggressor", the Pakistani minister said that Pakistan would respond to India’s “provocation".
“We are responding. We shot down their planes. India is the provocator and aggressor," he said.
India, avenging the Pahalgam terror attack, struck 9 terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir early Wednesday. The Indian armed forces executed the precision strike deep inside Pakistan without crossing the LoC.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi monitored the situation at night, according to sources.
