JAMMU: BJP Spokesperson Dr. Tahir Choudhary has strongly criticized Pakistan's role in global terrorism, calling the country a "failed state" and a primary driver of terrorism in the region. Dr. Tahir Choudhary accompanied by Dr. Pardeep Mahotra, BJP Media Incharge, and Surinder Singh Gilli, BJP leader, was addressing a press conference at party headquarters, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu.

His comments come in the wake of the recent hijacking of the Jaffar Express by Baloch insurgents in Balochistan, a brazen attack that resulted in the deaths of at least 27 militants and injuries to 37 passengers. Dr. Choudhary condemned the attack, highlighting that Pakistan’s inability to control insurgent groups within its borders has exacerbated the instability in the region.

"Pakistan continues to be a breeding ground for terrorist organizations that not only threaten its own citizens but also endangers lives of people in the neighboring regions," he stated. Referring to the ongoing insurgency in Balochistan, where groups like the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) have targeted Pakistani military and civilian infrastructure, Dr. Choudhary pointed out that Pakistan's failure to tackle these insurgents reflects a lack of governance and accountability.

"Pakistan has become a safe haven for terrorists and is now the epicenter of cross-border terrorism," he added. The BJP leader also criticized the Pakistani state for harboring groups that carry out attacks on both domestic and international fronts, emphasizing how this continues to fuel violence in the region, including in Jammu and Kashmir. Dr. Choudhary reiterated that India stands firm against terrorism and will continue to expose Pakistan's role in supporting such activities.

"The international community must recognize that Pakistan is not just a victim of terrorism but is a perpetrator of it. The state-sponsored terror that emanates from Pakistan must be held accountable," said Dr. Choudhary and called for a unified global approach to address Pakistan's complicity in fueling terrorism.

Dr. Pardeep Mahotra held Pakistan responsible for the present unrest and threat to the lives of its people, as it has adopted “Terrorism as its State policy”. He said that unless the neighbouring nation takes strong measures to switch-off terrorist activities from its soil and adopts ‘public welfare policies’, the condition of its own people will remain miserable and vulnerable. “Dusron Ka Ghar Jalaane Nikle The, Apna Jalaa Baithe”, said Dr. Pardeep, while expressing the present state of affairs within Pakistan.
