Pakistan Admits To Pulwama Attack
This comes after Pakistan minister Fawad Chaudhry on Thursday while speaking in Pakistan National Assembly, admitted to Imran Khan government's involvement in 2019 Pulwama attack in which 40 Indian Army jawans were martyred. Chaudhry - who is Federal Minister for Science and Techlogy - claimed that 'Pulwama was biggest achievement' of Imran Khan government. Retaliating to PML-N leader Ayaz Sadiq's narration of Pakistan Army chief Bajwa's trepidation at India's threat when Pak had captured Wing Commander Abhinandan, Chaudhry termed terror attack as a feat where Pakistan 'entered Indian territory and attacked m.' (India me ghuske maara).

Earlier on Wednesday, taking a jibe at Imran Khan and his government, PML-N leader Ayaz Sadiq, recounted that Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi was 'begging to return Abhinandan back to India' and made Pakistan Army Chief Bajwa sweat and quake in his boots, orwise 'India was to attack at 9 PM'. Sadiq claimed that Imran Khan's government was desperate to 'bend its knees to India', giving example of ordinance passed to allow Kulbhushan Jadhav's appeal in Islamabad high court against his conviction.
