During the interview, questions were raised concerning terrorism and the Pahalgam incident, with the interviewer attempting to connect the incident to Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anwar Ibrahim responded by saying that Malaysian security agencies had not informed him that the Pakistani state was linked to terrorism. He also stated that no evidence related to the Pahalgam incident had been presented to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Malaysian prime minister\u2019s response came during a broader discussion in which he also addressed the situation in Gaza and strongly criticized Israel\u2019s military actions against Palestinians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anwar Ibrahim expressed opposition to the ongoing Israeli attacks in Gaza and called for an end to the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories. He described the continued attacks in Gaza as an example of what he characterized as Israeli state terrorism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His remarks on Palestine reflected Malaysia\u2019s longstanding support for Palestinian rights and its opposition to the Israeli occupation. The Malaysian leader has repeatedly called for greater international action to protect Palestinian civilians and address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the Indian media interview, however, the discussion shifted toward Pakistan and terrorism when the journalist attempted to connect the Pahalgam incident with Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rather than endorsing the claim, Anwar Ibrahim emphasized the importance of evidence and the information available to his government\u2019s security agencies. He made it clear that Malaysian security authorities had not told him that the Pakistani state was involved in terrorism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also pointed out that no evidence concerning the Pahalgam incident had been provided to him. His response effectively rejected the attempt to establish a direct link between Pakistan and the incident without supporting evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The remarks have attracted attention because the interview took place during the Malaysian prime minister\u2019s visit to India for the BRICS Summit. The interaction provided an opportunity for Indian media to question the Malaysian leader on sensitive regional security issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anwar Ibrahim\u2019s response demonstrated a cautious position on allegations involving another country. Instead of making an accusation based on the interviewer\u2019s premise, he referred to the information provided by Malaysian security institutions and the absence of evidence presented to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The episode also highlights the wider diplomatic sensitivities surrounding terrorism allegations in South Asia. India and Pakistan have repeatedly accused each other of supporting or harboring militant groups, while both countries have rejected allegations made against them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pahalgam incident has been a particularly sensitive issue in India-Pakistan relations. Indian authorities and media have discussed alleged links to Pakistan, while Pakistan has denied involvement and called for evidence-based investigations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Against this background, the Malaysian prime minister\u2019s refusal to directly associate the Pakistani state with terrorism without evidence carries diplomatic significance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anwar Ibrahim also used the interview to reiterate his position on the Gaza conflict. He condemned Israel\u2019s military campaign and called for an end to the occupation of Palestinian territories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His comments reflect Malaysia\u2019s strong diplomatic and political support for Palestine. Malaysia has consistently advocated for Palestinian rights and called for an end to the occupation and violence affecting civilians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Malaysian government has also maintained that international law and humanitarian principles must be respected in dealing with conflicts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The interview therefore covered two highly sensitive international issues: terrorism allegations involving Pakistan and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the Pakistan-related question, Anwar Ibrahim relied on the assessment of Malaysia\u2019s own security agencies. He said that those agencies had not informed him that Pakistan as a state was connected to terrorism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He further noted that he had not been given evidence regarding the Pahalgam incident. This position underlined his insistence that serious allegations should be supported by credible information before conclusions are reached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW DELHI:&nbsp;An attempt by Indian media to link Pakistan with terrorism during an interview with Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim reportedly failed after the Malaysian..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15706,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15705","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/11111-2026-09-13T193431.498.png",800,927,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/11111-2026-09-13T193431.498-150x150.png",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/11111-2026-09-13T193431.498-259x300.png",259,300,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/11111-2026-09-13T193431.498-768x890.png",768,890,true],"large":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/11111-2026-09-13T193431.498.png",800,927,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/11111-2026-09-13T193431.498.png",800,927,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/11111-2026-09-13T193431.498.png",800,927,false]},"author_info":{"info":["admin"]},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/?cat=7\" rel=\"category\">World<\/a>","tag_info":"World","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15705","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=15705"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15705\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15707,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15705\/revisions\/15707"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/15706"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=15705"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=15705"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=15705"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
