The appointment of Masood Khan, former president of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and a terrorist supporter, as Pakistan’s ambassador to the United States is a testament to the fact that Pakistan seeks to strengthen its base by supporting Islamists across the world. CNN-News18 has learned its terrorist agenda on American soil.
Top intelligence sources say Khan’s appointment will stifle American Islamism and advance Pakistan’s Islamism-driven foreign policy against India.
Government sources say India wants the “Biden administration to reject Masood Khan’s credentials”.
In fact, Pakistan’s image is bound to be cleaned up after Khan’s role Afghanistan By helping the Taliban form the government.
Khan is a dangerous radical who has always worked with Islamists in the West and jihadists in the East, and is an open supporter of US-designated terrorists. His jihadist links are not unknown.
In July 2021, while serving as President of Azad Kashmir, Khan delivered a “special message” on the “fifth anniversary of martyrdom” of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani.
Wani persuaded Kashmiris to “engage in a holy war” against India, offering “the promise of a full life hereafter”.

At the event, Khan declared: “We grieve for Burhan Wani today … He is alive … in our hearts. He sacrificed his life for a cause.” Pakistani media also reported that Khan called Wani “a role model for freedom fighters around the world” and said that “the liberation of Kashmir and the defeat of India are written on the wall.”
In another incident, in June 2017, after the US State Department’s decision to designate Hizbul Mujahideen as a foreign terrorist organisation, the PoK president expressed full support for the organisation. Khan said the US sanctions against the terrorist group’s leader Syed Salahuddin were “unfair”.
In 2019, along with senior officials of the Pakistani government, Khan attended the All Parties Kashmir Solidarity Conference in Islamabad. He shared the stage with Fazlur Rehman Khalil, the founder of Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HUM), which was designated as a terrorist organization by the US State Department in 1997.
Khan is also a supporter of the violent South Asian Islamic movement Jamaat-e-Islami, whose killing squads helped the Pakistani military carry out acts of genocide against Bangladeshis in 1971.
When he was the president of AJK, extremist charities such as Helping Hands for Relief and Development (HHRD) repeatedly praised and supported him. The HHRD is a major US proxy for the Jamaat-e-Islami.
In 2017, HHRD openly partnered with the designated terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba, which carried out the deadly 2008 Mumbai attacks that killed 166 people.
