Michael Rubin Blames Pakistan For Pahalgam Attack: Former Pentagon official Michael Rubin has blamed Pakistan for the terrorist attack in Pahalgam. He has held the recent statement of Pakistan’s Army Chief General Asim Munir responsible for the terrorist attack, in which the Army Chief said that Kashmir is the neck of Pakistan’s neck. Michael Rubin said that Aseem Munir’s statement has instigated the terrorist attack. He further said that now India needs to cut the neck of Pakistan’s neck. Now no diplomatic attitude can be played.
Michael Rubin, senior Fellow Michael Rubin of the American think tank American Enterprise Institute (AEI), said that Pakistan has been sheltering terrorist organizations like Lashkar-e-Taiba for many decades. The diplomats of Pakistan have often been misleading western countries, due to which no concrete action has been taken against these organizations. As a result, now terrorist network is spreading in neighboring countries like Pakistan but also in neighboring countries like Bangladesh. He said that the role of Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI proves to be very helpful in spreading the terrorist network.
Questions raised on the timing of the attack
Rubin clarified that even though technical intelligence information has not been fully revealed yet, the initial indications so far pointed to Pakistan’s involvement. He said that ISI is behind the attack, so the needle of suspicion is pointing towards Pakistan. Rubin also put the timing of the attack in the circle of questions. He said that this attack took place in the same way as Bill Clinton’s visit to India in 2000. This time too, when US Vice President JD Vance was on a visit to India, exactly the same time Pahalgam I was attacked He says that this can be a strategy to divert attention from Pakistan. America should now react an open response instead of blindfolding it.
