dawn.com —
Pakistan's Foreign Office rejected a joint statement from India and the US, calling it "one-sided" and "misleading." The statement accused Pakistan of supporting extremism and referenced its alleged role in the 2008 Mumbai attacks. The US has approved the extradition of Tahawwur Rana, a suspect in the Mumbai attacks, to India. President Trump announced this during a press conference with Indian Prime Minister Modi, emphasizing the need for justice. Pakistan expressed concern over increased US military sales to India, stating it could disrupt regional stability. The Foreign Office urged international partners to adopt a balanced view of security issues in South Asia.
