Unmasking A Terror State

Why the Global Community Must Hold Pakistan Accountable

- BY P. MOHAN CHANDRAN

How many attacks will it take before the world calls Pakistan what it truly is—a 'state sponsor of terrorism'? Why is a nation that celebrates terrorists as martyrs still allowed to speak at international forums with impunity? Can global peace ever be achieved while terror regimes remain protected by diplomatic loopholes?

India's recent Operation Sindoor, which successfully struck nine terror launchpads across Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and adjoining Pakistani territory, was a legitimate act of self-defense targeting terror infrastructure. But what followed exposed the hypocrisy of Pakistan's double-speak. A nation that constantly claims to be a "victim of terrorism" reacted not with relief— but with rage.

Instead of cooperating in dismantling terror hideouts, Pakistan retaliated militarily, targeting Indian military bases and civilian areas. This response demolishes any lingering illusion: Pakistan is not a victim of terrorism. It is an enabler, incubator, and exporter of terrorism.
