The allies of the terrorist organizations to which America supplied arms are active in Pakistan: Pak Defence Minister Khawaja Asif

Islamabad: Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has once again admitted that his country has links with terrorist groups. He stated that terrorism and terrorists are part of Pakistan's past, but they continue to haunt Pakistan even today. However, he reiterated that this was done by Pakistan for the US during the Afghan-Soviet war. The US used to provide them with weapons to create the Mujahideen.

Asif hizo los comentarios durante una entrevista con la BBC. Cuando el corresponsal de la BBC en Pakistán, Azade Moshiri, le preguntó si todavía había terroristas y organizaciones terroristas operando en Pakistán, Khawaja Asif respondió de manera muy contundente: No.

Asif fue preguntado sobre Jaish-e-Mohammed y Lashkar-e-Taiba, que han orquestado ataques terroristas como Pulwama y Uri, diciendo que Estados Unidos cree que estos grupos siguen activos en Pakistán. "El terrorismo y los terroristas son cosas de nuestro pasado. Los grupos terroristas que Estados Unidos dice que están activos en Pakistán son afiliados de grupos que Estados Unidos solía armar."

Se refirió al papel de EE. UU. en armar a algunos grupos afganos durante la guerra afgano-soviética en los años 80. Dijo que durante décadas, EE. UU. ha estado creando y armando grupos de muyahidines, que luego se convirtieron en grupos terroristas.

Asif said that among these organizations was the Haqqani Network, which had links with the Taliban, Jaish, and Lashkar outfits. He said that Pakistan has been doing this work for America for decades and whatever these groups were our allies, now all these organizations have become dry-clean, but our image has not yet been cleared. The US still accuses us of the groups that were their allies.
