The Pakistan army chief, during a speech at the Pakistan Naval Academy, characterized what India calls terrorism as a “legitimate struggle” under international conventions. The discussion highlights how such statements are nothing but dog-whistling to extremist elements targeting India, especially in Kashmir. The show delves into India-U.S. relations and why Pakistan is not even a factor when it comes to ties between the world’s largest democracies. Watch this video for all the details.
