Anand Sharma condemns Pakistan as a state sponsor of terror amid IMF plea

Anand Sharma has sharply criticized Pakistan, labeling it a state sponsor of terrorism amid its ongoing plea to the IMF for financial aid. He highlighted the contradiction of Pakistan seeking international assistance while allegedly funding terrorism.

Sharma stated, "It's the Army which runs or controls Pakistan. Democracy is a sham." He called for Pakistan's isolation, emphasizing that India has been a victim of organized terrorism for decades, with Pakistan being the epicenter of such activities.

The veteran Congress leader's remarks come in the wake of a recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir, underscoring the ongoing security challenges faced by India. He reiterated that India's message has always been clear: there is no such thing as a “good terrorist.” Sharma's comments reflect a broader sentiment in India regarding the need for a united front against terrorism and the importance of holding Pakistan accountable for its actions.

As Pakistan approaches the IMF for assistance, Sharma's condemnation serves as a reminder of the complex geopolitical dynamics in the region and the ongoing struggle against terrorism.
