After Pakistan defense minister Khwaja Asif admitted on Sky News that Pakistan funded terrorist organizations, saying that it has “been doing dirty work of the West for decades”, an old video of Asif has surfaced online which allegedly critically criticizes it. Pakistan army
In the video, Asif-then in the opposition-the national assembly is heard saying: “We have spent hundreds of rupees on defense, even thousands of billions of rupees and dollars in the last 58 years. Yet what is the story of those years? To demand a bloated defense budget with full impurities, proudly defeating their chest.”
He said, “He has sucked marrow with the bones of this nation. Today, the nation remains in removing poverty. People are ignorant, destitute and poor. They do not even have access to clean drinking water – and when they drink, they suffer from gastroenteris, hepatitis A, B, and C.”
“As my brother Chaudhary Manzoor said, there are separate books for the poor and separate people for the rich. The rich have separate hospitals; The poor have separate hospitals. If it is a welfare state, if Pakistan is actually a welfare state, then it is only a welfare state for the armed forces of Pakistan -not only for the common people -not for the common people for the common people. Has ruled.
‘Pak -backed terror’
Just a few days after the video, Asif admitted on Sky News that Pakistan -based terrorist groups “are not many organizations” but “a single organization is religiously held with various faces”.
Asked by Yalada Hakim of Sky on Thursday night, whether he admitted that Pakistan has a long history of support, funding and training of terrorist organizations, Asif replied: “We have been doing this dirty work for about three decades and the USA for the United States for the West. It was a mistake and we were suffering for it.
Asif said that his country would respond to “merciful” for any attack in nuclear rival New Delhi and called for New Delhi and US President Donald Trump to “bring purity” in the retaliation of Pahgam.
“We are already ready for this-any event that happens. Whatever we have started by India, we will measure our response. If there is an all-out attack, obviously there will be an all-out war.”
He said that the terrorist groups in Pakistan were “used by the USA as proxy”, and earlier the same terrorist groups were treated in Washington like VIPs. “When we were fighting war against the Soviet Union in the 80s, all these terrorists of today, they were winning and eating in Washington. Then 9/11 came. The same situation was created again. I think our government made a mistake then.”
