Militant outfit behind Pulwama attack enjoys Pakistan backing: Nadeem Nusrat

Washington: Mohajir rights leader Nadeem Nusrat, while condemning the Pulwama terror attack, has put forth that terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed – that claimed responsibility for the attack – enjoys support from Pakistan.
“Pakistan’s incompetent foreign minister may have found the audacity to deny Pakistan’s involvement in this attack, the terror outfit which has claimed the responsibility for this dastardly act clearly enjoys the support of elements within Pakistan’s powerful security establishment. Pakistan has even persuaded China to block multiple attempts at the UNO to designate this group as a terrorist outfit,” the Voice of Karachi (VOK) chairman noted in a statement.
“The great majority of the people of Pakistan neither has any interest in such vicious acts, nor it supports cross-border terrorism. However, it is this majority of Pakistani people which ends up suffering from the consequences of such mindless acts,” he said while referring to the economic state Pakistan currently is in.
He added, “Indian leadership has vowed in the wake of this incident to isolate Pakistan, but this ship has already sailed, as barring a few exceptions Pakistan has already become a butt of jokes in the eyes of the world community.” Nusrat further noted that Pakistan has been isolated by the world community due to its own destructive narrative. “Statements over Kashmir attack from the US, Iran, Afghanistan, and many other countries as well as the UN are a clear testimony of a failed and destructive narrative that has left Pakistan badly isolated in the world community and in a dire financial mess,” he opined.
“Pakistan’s economy is on the verge of total collapse and the entire current government is busy begging for Arab and Chinese funds to bail out the country. Unemployment and inflation are skyrocketing. Three out of Pakistan’s four neighbouring countries-India, Afghanistan and Iran- have become increasingly hostile to Pakistan due to its intelligence agencies’ involvement in cross-border acts of terrorism and their overt and covert support for terrorist proxies. Pakistan’s military establishment has also been using these religious extremist groups to eliminate the secular forces in Karachi, Balochistan, KPK and Gilgit-Baltistan,” the chairman outlines.
