FOR 35 long years, India has attempted to falsely label Pakistan a ‘terrorist state’, a narrative aggressively pushed by Narendra Modi and his likes. However, recent global developments have exposed India’s hypocrisy. Despite sending delegations worldwide to peddle its baseless claims, India failed to woo the international community which rejected the propaganda outright, forcing the Indian delegation to hold isolated press conferences with only its own media in attendance.

The international response was decisive. Pakistan was appointed vice-chairman of the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Committee and chairman of the Afghan Sanctions Committee. This dual recognition dismantled India’s propaganda, affirming Pakistan’s role as a key player against global terrorism.

Now, as Pakistan holds a key counter-terrorism position, India will face tough questions, especially on the Pahalgam incident. Instead of empty rhetoric, India must now answer the critical questions. Where is the investigation? Why are there no arrests? Should an international probe be formed?

The message is clear: Indian premier’s lies have backfired. The world has seen through India’s deceit, and Pakistan’s credibility stands stronger than ever.
