Sky News anchor Yalda Hakim corners Pak diplomat over terror probe: ‘I just want to point out…’ | Trending

Pakan’s High Commissioner to the UK, Mohammad Faisal, found himself in an uncomfortable situation during a live interview with Sky News journal Yalda Hakim. The diplomat was discussing the India-Pakan tensions following the deadly Pahalgam attack, which claimed 26 lives. In his statement, Faisal asserted, “Pakan’s first choice was peace, and we insed on that. We chose the best way forward, believing that, okay, don’t believe us, don’t believe the Indians—believe the international community.” However, Hakim was quick to fact-check him.

In 2008, Mumbai attacks took place and the finger of blame was pointed to Pakan. It was called on for investigation. In 2016 and 2019, Pakan was invited for an investigation during Uri and Pulwama attacks. At all these junctures, Pakan may have co-operated on surface and but it didn’t do anything to prevent these terror groups from flourishing in the country,” Hakim asserted. In response, the Pakani diplomat said, “First, we need to get our facts right. Somebody has given you the paper.” To this, Hakim replied firmly, “No one has given me the paper, actually. I spoke to, and I’ve been documenting and following this.” Watch the clip here: The journal’s direct questioning left Faisal visibly flustered and struggling to defend Pakan’s stance. Hakim’s questioning undermined the diplomat’s claims, casting doubt on Pakan’s willingness to cooperate with international investigations and raising questions about its true role in regional terrorism. This exchange comes just days after another Pakani official, Defence Miner Khawaja Asif, faced a similar grilling Hakim. During that interview, Asif inadvertently admitted to Pakan’s hory of funding terrorism. The admission Asif, which seemed to confirm suspicions about Pakan’s involvement with terror groups, added fuel to the ongoing controversy surrounding the country’s foreign policy.

Tarar claimed, “Pakan is a victim of terrorism. We are the frontline state against terrorism,” but Hakim was quick to remind him of his own defence miner’s admission about supporting terror groups. “Can I remind you, just a week ago on my show, your own Defence Miner Khawaja Asif admitted that Pakan supported and funded terror groups as proxies for over a decade,” she pointed out.
