A significant admission by Pakistani politician Chaudhry Anwarul Haq has brought into sharp focus the issue of cross-border terrorism. Haq, in a viral video, explicitly stated that Pakistan has been responsible for terror activities in India, ranging from Delhi’s Red Fort to the remote forests of Kashmir. This declaration directly connects Islamabad to the car bomb that devastated an area near the Red Fort on November 10, killing 14 people, and the ambush of 26 tourists in Pahalgam’s Baisaran Valley in April. Haq’s controversial statement framed these acts as a response to perceived actions in Balochistan, boasting, ‘I earlier said that if you keep bleeding Balochistan, we’ll hit India from Red Fort to the forests of Kashmir. By the grace of Allah, we’ve done it.’ He went on to suggest that the full impact of the Delhi attack might still be unfolding, implying a sustained campaign. India has a long-standing policy of rejecting Pakistan’s attempts to shift blame for internal issues like Balochistan, maintaining that Pakistan actively fuels terrorism. Intelligence reports suggest the Red Fort attack was orchestrated by a module linked to Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed, involving highly educated individuals who allegedly used their positions to acquire bomb-making materials. The exposed plot also included plans for a large-scale attack coinciding with the Babri Masjid demolition anniversary. This latest revelation intensifies scrutiny over Pakistan’s alleged patronage of terror groups.
