Pakistan wants to involve russia and china in the investigation of the pahalgam terror attack. terrorists opened fire in pahalgam, kashmir - SRINAGAR/JAMMU' target='_blank' title='jammu and kashmir-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>jammu and kashmir on april 22, 2025, killing 26 people, most of whom were tourists. It was the deadliest attack in the valley after the Pulwama attack in 2019.
In a recent interview to the Russian government's RIA Novosti news agency, Pakistani Defense minister Khawaja Asif said, "I think russia or china or even Western countries can play a very positive role in this crisis and they can also form an investigation team, which should be entrusted with the task of investigating whether india or Modi is lying or he is telling the truth. Let an international team find out. "He said that Pakistan Prime minister Shahbaz Sharif has also proposed an international investigation.
Pakistan said- india should present evidence
The news agency quoted Khawaja as saying, "Find out who is responsible for this incident in india, in kashmir and who is carrying it out. Talks or empty statements have no effect. There should be some evidence that pakistan is involved in this or these people had Pakistan's support? These are just statements, empty statements and nothing else."
'Terrorism has been justified very cleverly'
Meanwhile, Moscow-based independent American analyst Andrew Korybko said that not only has pakistan denied India's allegations, which was expected, but top officials have surprisingly made two self-defaming claims. He said, "Deputy prime minister and Foreign minister Isaak Dar has commented that the people who carried out the attack in pahalgam district of kashmir - SRINAGAR/JAMMU' target='_blank' title='jammu and kashmir-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>jammu and kashmir on april 22 may have been freedom fighters."
Koribko wrote in his newsletter on the online platform Substack, "Whatever one's views on the kashmir conflict, the massacre of tourists is unquestionably a terrorist act, let alone a murder based on their religion. Speculating that the perpetrators may be 'freedom fighters' defames true freedom fighters around the world and cleverly justifies terrorism.''
He said, "Upon giving more thought to what Dar and Asif said, observers will see a clear contradiction that the first has strongly approved the pahalgam attack, speculating that the perpetrators 'may be freedom fighters', while the second has strongly rejected the attack and blamed india for it." Korybko wrote, "This shows that they are making a childish attempt to hide their side's complicity."
