Pakistan Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has been ridiculed at home and abroad for his irresponsible remarks
New Delhi:The past week saw India and Pakistan exchange heavy fire after New Delhi launched Operation Sindoor to avenge the Pahalgam terror attack. Artillery guns screamed on the borders and the people of the two countries argued on social media. But at a polarised time such as this, many on both sides of the border were united on one subject -- the criticism of Pakistan Defence Minister Khawaja Asif, whose bizarre remarks provided the much-needed comic relief amid a tense, war-like situation.
Honest Admission: During an interview with Sky News on April 25, Mr Asif effectively admitted that Pakistan has been backing terrorism and accused Western powers of conveniently blaming Pakistan. "When we were fighting on their side, way back in the 80s against the Soviet Union, all these terrorists of today were wining and dining in Washington, DC," he said. To a question on whether he admits that Pakistan had a long history of backing terror, he replied, "Well, we have been doing this dirty work for the United States for three decades and the West, including Britain. That was a mistake and we suffered for that."
