Pak War On Terror

Pervez Musharraf's Afghan policy of siding with the US in its war on terror after the 9/11 attacks while also going soft on the Taliban proved a double-edged sword for his country.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday indicated that Pakistan, after losing two wars to India, had started resorting to proxy war and that terrorism had become an integral part of its state policy.

The scrapping of Article 370 is a historic step that will help Jammu and Kashmir integrate with the mainstream, Army chief General MM Naravane said today. Delivering a sharp message to Pakistan, the army chief also said the move had "disrupted proxy war by our western neighbour".

At UNESCO meet, Ananya Agarwal, who led the Indian delegation, said that Pakistan is home to all shades of darkness, from extremist ideologies and darker powers of radicalisation to the darkest manifestations of terrorism.

India has warned of the inherent dangers in "nuclear brinkmanship" pursued by countries as a cover for cross-border terrorism, days after Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan drummed up hysteria over a possible nuclear war in South Asia after New Delhi revoked the special status of Jammu and Kashmir.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi -- in front of a battery of US leaders including President Donald Trump -- on Sunday asserted that the government's move to "bid farewell to Article 370" was one to end discrimination, and through it, terrorism.

Weeks after the worst escalation between New Delhi and Islamabad since the 1999 Kargil War, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan said on Friday that PM Narendra Modi sent him greetings on the eve of Pakistan's National Day. Mr Khan, in a tweet, said PM Modi told him that it is time for people of the subcontinent to work together "for a peaceful and p...

Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammad's audacious terrorist strikes, part of its ''Ghazwa-e-Hind'' (Holy War Against India), have turned it into one of the most deadly terror groups and brought India and Pakistan on the brink of war twice in two decades, officials said.

Former Pakistan president Pervez Musharraf has said India could "finish us by attacking with 20 (nuclear) bombs" if Pakistan launched even a single nuclear attack on the neighbouring country, according to Karachi-based newspaper Dawn.

A day after Union water resources minister Nitin Gadkari spoke about not allowing India's share of water to flow to Pakistan, senior Congress leader Prithviraj Chavan said a minister on his own cannot take such a decision.

Prime Minister Imran Khan Monday termed the 'war on terror' as an "imposed war" on Pakistan and promised to never fight such a war inside his country, in a veiled attack on US President Donald Trump who has repeatedly accused Islamabad of not helping America in its fight against terrorism.

Pakistan on Monday reacted angrily to Donald Trump's latest comments against the country for not doing "a damn thing" for the United States in end terrorism, saying the US President "suffers conveniently from perpetual historic amnesia!"

Pakistan claimed Sunday that the USD 300 million aid the Pentagon has decided to scrap was not a military aid as the US owed this money to Islamabad for its support in the war on terror and was supposed to reimburse it.

The top US military officer, Marine General Joseph Dunford, said on Monday he was committed to the US-Pakistan relationship, which has been strained in recent weeks as Washington piles pressure on Islamabad to crack down on militants.

Days after US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson told Pakistan that it must act against terrorist groups operating in the country, a top American diplomat has said they will be closely observing the steps taken by Islamabad in its war against terrorism. Pakistan was also warned that if it fails to do so, the US will "adjust" its strategies to achieve...
