After my interview with The Diplomat exposed Pakistan’s ISI for targeting Chinese interests in Afghanistan, pro-ISI institutions launched a coordinated smear campaign—attempting to frame me within recycled conspiracy narratives. Rather than retreat, I’ve responded with clarity and conviction. This op-ed and its accompanying visual confront the character assassination head-on, reframing scrutiny as validation and spotlighting Pakistan’s strategic contradictions. It’s not just a defense—it’s a declaration: the truth remains inconvenient, and I remain committed to telling it.
