Pakistan Defence Minister Khwaja Asif has admitted the country's history of supporting, training and funding terrorist organisations as dirty work for the West, a mistake for which he said Pakistan had suffered.
In an interview with Sky News aired overnight, news presenter Yalda Hakim questioned Asif on Pakistan's response and stance on terrorism in the aftermath of the terrorist attack in Pahalgam that killed 26 people earlier this week.
You do admit, sir, that Pakistan has had a long history of backing and supporting and training and funding these terrorist organisations, asked Hakim.
Well, we have been doing this dirty work for the United States for about three decades, you know, and the West, including Britain, replied Asif.

The Rajya Sabha on Thursday returned the Finance Bill 2025 to the Lok Sabha, along with 35 government amendments, including one that abolishes a 6 per cent digital tax on online advertisements, thus completing the 2025-26 budgetary exercise that started on February 1.
The House also returned the Appropriation Bill (3) with a voice vote.
Earlier in the day, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had moved the two bills in the House.
The Lok Sabha had passed the Finance Bill on March 25 and passed the Appropriation Bill on March 21.
Replying to the debate later in the evening, she said the tendency of the finance ministry would be to exercise caution and not let go of revenues.
