Ishaq Dar and Marco Rubio (Social media)
International News: The world today is fully aware of Pakistan’s support for terrorism. It is no longer possible for Pakistan to hide the fact that it provides shelter, funding, weapons, and training to terrorists within its borders. Despite this well-known reality, some countries—especially the United States—continue to call Pakistan an “ally” in the fight against terrorism and even praise its fake efforts.
Recently, the United States designated The Resistance Front (TRF) as a terrorist organization. This group had claimed responsibility for a deadly attack in Jammu and Kashmir in which 26 people lost their lives. TRF is linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, a Pakistan-based group known for several terrorist attacks in India.
While the US took strong action against TRF by banning it, at the same time, it praised Pakistan as a country working against terrorism. This double-faced approach has raised serious questions about the intentions and credibility of US foreign policy.
On Friday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Pakistan's Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar. After their meeting, Rubio praised Pakistan for taking “positive steps” to fight terrorism. This comment came just days after the US itself had blacklisted a terror group operating from Pakistani soil. The contradiction in the US statements shows a lack of clarity and seriousness in its policy on terrorism.
India has long maintained that both the Pakistani government and its army are directly involved in supporting cross-border terrorism. India has provided proof on several international platforms, showing how Pakistan supports and protects terrorist groups. Prime Minister Narendra Modi once said, “India believes in tourism, but Pakistan treats terrorism as tourism,” warning the world about the global threat Pakistan poses.
Earlier this year, India and Pakistan faced serious border tensions. India launched Operation Sindoor to target terror camps across the border. After days of military action, both countries agreed to a ceasefire on May 10. The US tried to take credit for this agreement, claiming it played a key diplomatic role.
However, India firmly denied this, stating the ceasefire was a result of direct talks between New Delhi and Islamabad, with no third-party involvement. This again revealed how the US tries to maintain an image of leadership, even when it has no role.
If the world truly wants to end terrorism, it must stop playing a double game. On one hand, calling out terror groups, and on the other, rewarding the very country that supports them—this approach will never bring peace. Pakistan must be held accountable through fair and unbiased international pressure. Only then will real change begin, and the fight against terrorism become meaningful.
