ملائیشین وزیراعظم نے پاکستان کو دہشت گردی کا سرپرست قرار دلوانے کی بھارتی کوشش مسترد کر دی

Pushed again on why he would not simply condemn Pakistan outright, Anwar held his line. “Because these things need proof, not assumptions,” he said. “Calling it state-sponsored needs clear evidence. We’d rather engage with Pakistan and resolve these issues.”

Anwar’s answer is notable precisely because it did not simply dispute a label, it declined to confirm the underlying accusation at all. Pakistan has consistently denied any state role in violence India attributes to it in Kashmir, and Anwar’s response, that his own intelligence found nothing to establish state sponsorship, lands closer to that denial than to India’s version of events. It also arrives at a moment when the “no evidence” finding has become an increasingly familiar rebuttal to Indian allegations against Pakistan more broadly. Five United Nations special rapporteurs concluded in a report made public last December that India had not produced what they called credible evidence of Pakistani involvement in the Pahalgam attack before striking Pakistani territory and suspending the Indus Waters Treaty, actions the experts said may themselves have violated international law. A foreign head of government now saying much the same thing, unprompted, on Indian television, only adds to that pattern.

The interview covered broader India-Malaysia ties and Anwar’s personal rapport with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and came during Anwar’s visit to New Delhi for the BRICS summit, where he was separately seen singing a Kishore Kumar classic at a gala dinner. It is also consistent with Anwar’s wider record of declining to hand out the “terrorist” label on demand, he has similarly refused, on multiple occasions.
