‘Simla pact not dead’: Pak corrects own defence min’s bold claim

This comes amid heightened tensions after recent terror attacks and Indian strikes. While internal discussions occurred, all treaties remain operational, distancing the government from Asif’s remarks that the Simla framework is obsolete. Following defence minister Khawaja Asif’s declaration, Pakistan’s foreign ministry clarified that no decision has been made to revoke bilateral agreements with India, including the Simla Agreement.
