Here is what DW’s 52-minute hatchet job and @realZalmayMK years old anti Pakistan 🇵🇰 itch will not tell you: 🇵🇰 did not nuclearise South Asia, 🇮🇳 Bharat did in 1974, misusing foreign-supplied nuclear assistance. Pakistan’s deterrent was an unavoidable response, not an adventure. Pakistan’s nuclear ☢️ assets have remained secure under a robust command-and-control system, while recurring theft and trafficking of radioactive material in India are quietly ignored. Pakistan did not create the Kashmir dispute; it remains unresolved under international law. Nor did Pakistan initiate the 2025 conflict. India used a false flag operation to launch an aggression Pakistan and get a bloody nose again. Pakistan responded with restraint and resolve, restored deterrence and accepted Indian request through mediators for the ceasefire. And Pakistan is not a sponsor of terrorism. It is among terrorism’s greatest victims: more than 80,000 lives sacrificed and enormous economic losses sustained while dismantling Indian sponsored terrorist networks with its own blood. Pakistan was won through extraordinary sacrifice and has been defended through extraordinary sacrifice. We neither need DW’s certificate nor fear its propaganda. Criticise Pakistan by all means but bring facts, context and equal standards. Otherwise, call it what it is: a crude propaganda film masquerading as journalism. Shame on them. youtu.be/uxc3PH1wDFY?si=l744… via @YouTube @dwnews
