Jun 12, 2025

When asked how India views the American statements that Pakistan can be a partner when it comes to counterterror cooperation, he responded, "See the record of Pakistan, of what Pakistan actually is very clear, we all know Pahalgam's attack is only a recent example of cross-border terrorism. I would remind you that only recently, the conspirator, one of the conspirators of 26/11, Tahawwur Rana, was extradited from the United States to India. Obviously, none of us has forgotten that Pakistan gave shelter to Osama bin Laden. It is significant that the person and you would be aware that Dr Shakil Afridi, who helped locate Osama bin Laden, is still imprisoned by the Pakistani military."
