Following the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people, Pakistan has urged Russia and China to assist in an international probe. Pakistani Defence Minister Khawaja Asif suggested that global powers verify India’s claims about Pakistan’s involvement. Meanwhile, criticism mounts over contradictory Pakistani statements, as officials both justify and deny the attack. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi vowed the "harshest response" to the perpetrators. Analysts argue Pakistan’s stance appears self-discrediting, fueling international skepticism about its intentions regarding the Pahalgam massacre.
