Unveiling Pakistan's Terrorist Connections: Yalda Hakim's relentless pursuit

Pakistan's involvement in terrorism has once again been thrust into the spotlight, following the Pahalgam terror attack. Yalda Hakim, an award-winning journalist known for her fearless reporting, is at the forefront of this exposure.

Yalda's latest interview, with Pakistan's Defense Minister Khwaja Asif, shed light on Pakistan's alleged three-decade-long involvement in worldwide terrorism activities, backed by the US and Western nations, including Britain[1][2]. This particular interview, taken by an Afghani Australian journalist, generated quite a stir on social media.

In this candid exchange, Khwaja Asif admitted to Pakistan harboring terrorists, a confession prompted by Yalda's persistent questioning[3]. When posed with the question, "But you do admit, you do admit, sir, that Pakistan has had a long history of backing and supporting and training and funding these terrorist organisations?" the minister, surprisingly, acknowledged Pakistani involvement in terrorism[3].

Subsequently, Yalda interviewed Information Minister Ataullah Tarar, who denied any terrorist hideouts in Pakistan. However, in light of Khwaja Asif's recent statements and US President Donald Trump's 2018 decision to halt military aid due to Pakistan's double policy[4], Yalda requested him to reconsider his position[5].

Yalda Hakim is a globally recognized journalist, renowned for her fearless reporting from war zones and her sharp interviews[1][2]. She has a long history of speaking with prominent leaders such as Ukraine's President Zelenskyy, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and former US President Bill Clinton[1][2]. Apart from her work at Sky News, she is also the founder of the Yalda Hakim Foundation, which supports Afghan girls' education through scholarships[2].
