Pakistan’s Pulwama Admission Amidst Heated Debate
During a press conference, Pakistan’s Air Vice Marshal Aurangzeb Ahmed publicly acknowledged the Pakistani military’s role in the 2019 Pulwama attack, referring to it as a display of “tactical brilliance.” This admission contradicts years of official denials and follows a similar statement by a former Pakistani minister. The statement, made alongside other high-ranking military officials, effectively dismantles Pakistan’s previous claims of innocence and its requests for evidence from India. The admission highlights the military’s significant influence over Pakistan’s government and its willingness to openly claim responsibility for the attack.
