Doubts confirmed: India exporting terror, says Khawaja Asif

Khawaja Asif said sponsoring terrorism to counter terrorism confirms Indian involvement in terrorist activities

ISLAMABAD: Responding to a statement of the Indian Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, Defence Minister Khawaja Asif said sponsoring terrorism to counter terrorism confirms assertions of Indian involvement in terrorist activities on Pakistani soil. Khawaj Asif said that the Indian defence minister specifically mentioned that regulation will not be used to quell terrorist activities, instead terrorism will be promoted. This is the worst kind of declaration by a state functionary of cabinet level which confirms that India is sponsoring terrorism against its neighbours in the name of preventing terrorist activities, he added.

Gp65 | 9 years ago | Reply The statement by Parrikar did not name any country. Yet Nepal, BD, SL, Burma, Bhutan are not upset. Why. Because they do not arm and train non-state-actors for an asymettric war with India. At most Partikar statement implies covert action against Pakistani non-state-actors. By no means can it be taken to mean that India is sponsoring terror attacks on innocent civilians.
