Shocking admission from Pak: How the adversary neighbor revealed it's role in Pulwama attack?

In what has become a crucial admission, the senior minister of India's rival neighbor Pakistan had on Thursday admitted that his country was responsible for the terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama last year in which 40 Indian paramilitary troopers were killed after the terrorists had bombed the convoy that was transporting the troops. 

When India had lashed out at the belligerent neighbor behind the attack, Islamabad had denied its involvement in the attack, and India had launched the surgical strike against Pakistan to counter its attack. The terrorist attack had further escalated the tensions and deepened the drifts between the two nations and it had brought both the countries towards a war.

The terrorist attack had happened on 14th February 2019 and after one year, the Pakistan minister had now admitted that his country was responsible for the Pulwama attack. Senior Pakistani Minister Fawad Chaudhry had thrown a bombshell against his own government after he apparently admitted that Pakistan had attacked India. While addressing the National Assembly on Thursday, Chaudhry, who has been serving as Pakistan's Science and Technology Minister placed his admission. 

He said, "We hit India in their home. Our Success in Pulwama, is a success of this nation under the leadership of Imran Khan. You and we are all part of that success". Chaudhry is a close aide of Prime Minister Imran Khan and soon after his admission was headlined in India, it had triggered huge outrage and uproar against Pakistan for making the shocking admission. 

The Union Minister and Imran Khan's government have been facing staunch criticisms from India and amid such aberrant development, Fawad Chaudhry, who made the admission, had then gone to twist the tale as hours after his admission, he had changed the tale and scripted the new definition for his claim. He said, "When we hit India in their home after Pulwama attack". 

Chaudhry had then taken to Twitter and said that he was referring to when Pakistani fighter jets targeted combat installations and claimed that Pakistan doesn't show bravery by killing innocents and the country condemns terrorism. According to reports, Chaudhry's shocking admission has come a day after the Pakistan Opposition leader had thrown another shocker against his own country. 

On Wednesday, Ayaz Sadiq, the leader of Pakistan's Opposition party Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) said that Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi had pleaded to release Indian Air Force Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman, who was captured and arrested by the Pakistani Army on February 27, 2019, after his MiG-21 Bison jet was shot down by the neighbor when Indian carried out surgical strikes against Pakistan in retaliation for Pulwama attack. 

Ayaz Sadiq said that the Foreign Minister told Pakistan Army General Bajwa that unless he released Wing Commander Varthaman, India would attack Pakistan. Sadiq revealed, "I remember Shah Mahmood Qureshi was in the meeting during which Army General came into the room and his legs were shaking and he was perspiring. Foreign Minister said for God's sake let Abhinandan go, India's about to attack Pakistan at 9 pm". 

Sadiq had also said that India was not planning to attack, Pakistan wanted to kneel before India and send back Abhinandan. The remarks from the opposition leader and the admission from the senior minister had surfaced Imran Khan with major trouble and it has sparked a political storm in Islamabad. However, the ruling Tehreek-e-Insaf party had denied and maintained a defensive approach towards the opposition.
