India has issued a sharp rebuke to the United States following comments praising Pakistan’s counter-terrorism efforts. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) strongly contested this assessment, pointing to Pakistan’s long and well-documented history of supporting cross-border terrorism.

The MEA specifically referenced the recent terror attack in Pahalgam as a stark example of Pakistan’s continued role in harboring and enabling terrorist organizations. This incident serves as a potent reminder of the ongoing threat posed by Pakistan-sponsored terrorism, directly contradicting the US’s characterization of Pakistan as a counter-terrorism ally. The MEA’s statement underscores India’s firm stance against terrorism and its deep concern over Pakistan’s continued support for terrorist groups operating within India.
