Suspense crime, Digital Desk : Indian politician and former top UN diplomat Shashi Tharoor has unleashed a scathing critique of Donald Trump's recent lunch meeting with Pakistan's Army Chief, General Asim Munir, calling the event "unbelievable" and sarcastically questioning America's memory of past betrayals.

In a sharp-tongued post on social media, Tharoor expressed his astonishment that a former U.S. President would host the head of Pakistan's powerful military establishment. His criticism cut straight to the heart of the fraught history between the United States and Pakistan in the "War on Terror."

"I hope someone reminded him where Osama bin Laden was found," Tharoor wrote, invoking the 2011 raid that killed the al-Qaeda leader in a compound in Abbottabad, deep inside Pakistan. He followed up with an even more pointed jab: "And who the perpetrators of 9/11 were, and where they had been trained."

Tharoor's comments highlight the long-standing accusation that elements within Pakistan's security apparatus, often referred to as the "deep state," have played a double game—publicly aligning with the U.S. while covertly supporting or harboring terrorist groups.

Adding a layer of irony, Tharoor pointed out Trump's own past rhetoric, quoting a 2018 tweet where Trump accused Pakistan of giving the U.S. "nothing but lies & deceit." The stark contrast between Trump's past condemnations and his recent hospitality for General Munir at his Mar-a-Lago estate was not lost on the Indian leader.

Tharoor's powerful rebuke serves as a stark reminder of the deep-seated mistrust that continues to define aspects of U.S.-Pakistan relations, and it voices a sentiment shared by many in India who view Pakistan's military with profound suspicion.
