Pak PM admitting to his country harbouring terrorists is a significant moment
There was nothing wrong with Khan’s “confession”. That the Iranian Baloch terrorists organise themselves in Karachi’s underworld is globally known.
Prime Minister Imran Khan was in Iran on April 22, mending fences with Tehran over cross-border terrorism, which bothers both the countries. His statement that “Iran also suffered from terrorism from Pakistan” has upset many Pakistanis. Khan had also requested Tehran to stop the terrorists on its side, who recently killed 14 Pakistanis on the Karachi-Gwadar highway. The PPP-PMLN opposition in parliament and the media cried that Khan’s statement had put Pakistan at risk by admitting to terrorism.
