Recently, concerns have been raised regarding Pakistan's decision to raise their defence budget, with worried individuals alleging that the funds will be diverted to rebuilding and rehabilitating terror camps that were dismantled during Operation Sindoor. Operation Sindoor was an offensive initiative by the Indian Army to destroy terrorism hubs across the Line of Control (LoC) and International Border (IB) in 2019, resulting in the destruction of dozens of terrorist camps and cessation of terrorism activities in the region. This, however, exposed the inefficacy of the Pakistani defence system and their inability to protect their citizens from terrorism.

Pakistan has always been criticized for maintaining a double standard when it comes to dealing with terrorist entities within its borders versus those outside it. The recent increase in their defence budget, rather than being a cause of celebration, has heightened concerns among the international community regarding where these funds will actually be allocated.

Rather than improving national security and being a benefit to the people, it is feared that these funds may be used to rebuild terrorist camps and further fuel terrorist activities that not only threaten regional peace and security but also pose a threat to the world at large.

These allegations pose a serious question mark on Pakistan's sincerity in combating terrorism and its doublespeak on the issue. The world hopes that nations ravaged by terrorism take tangible steps to eradicate it and not use funds to further fuel violence and chaos, thereby threatening the peace and security not only of their own nation but also the entire region and the world at large.
