During a meeting with U.S. Congressman Jack Bergman, renowned Pakistani-American businessman Tanveer Ahmed strongly refuted India's allegations against Pakistan regarding the recent Pahalgam attack, asserting that no evidence has been presented by India.

In contrast, he said, Pakistan has submitted irrefutable proof of Indian involvement in terrorist incidents within its borders.

During the session, Tanveer Ahmed responded to the Congressman’s opening question about the origins of the attendees by saying, "Most of us were born in Pakistan. I often say, ‘I was born in Pakistan but raised in America.’ Pakistan gave me identity, and the United States gave me success. I proudly call both countries my home."

He emphasized that India has recently ramped up its anti-Pakistan activities, and while India has yet to provide any concrete evidence for its claims about the Pahalgam attack, Pakistan has openly shared undeniable proof of Indian involvement in attacks like the hijacking of the Jaffar Express just weeks ago.

"In my opinion," he added, "India began accusing Pakistan in an attempt to divert attention from its own involvement in the Jaffar Express attack."

Tanveer questioned the authenticity of India's narrative around the Pahalgam incident, stating: "According to police records, the incident began at 1:50 PM and lasted until 2:20 PM. Astonishingly, an FIR was registered by 2:30 PM – within just 10 minutes. How is it possible for someone to travel from the site, which takes an hour to reach the police station, and yet have a report filed in ten minutes? It appears this incident was pre-planned. And somehow, in ten minutes, they concluded the attackers were Pakistanis? Still, not a single piece of evidence has been presented by India."

He further argued that India is engaging in baseless accusations and warmongering while Pakistan continues to suffer from the consequences of being a U.S. ally in the war on terror.

"It is time the U.S. reassesses the geopolitical dynamics of South Asia," Tanveer said. "As long as America continues to view Pakistan through India’s lens, we will never understand the reality of the situation or achieve justice for Pakistan. How can South Asia be stabilized if Pakistan is not given its fair share in regional peace-building?"

He concluded with a broader message: "My question is simple — shouldn’t we, together with the United States and the rest of the world, strive to build peace and greatness through unity, not conflict? Every human being deserves the right to live. The world must move toward peace, not war."

Congressman Jack Bergman Responds

Responding to Tanveer Ahmed’s comments, Congressman Jack Bergman acknowledged that he had not yet studied the matter in depth.

"Based on the details you've just provided, I’m listening and trying to learn," Bergman said. "I can't offer a concrete response right now, but I’m willing to read more about the situation and revisit this conversation later with better insight. For now, all I can say is that it’s a very disheartening situation."

He added: "The world — our Earth — is inhabited by human beings, and we are all fallible. In times like these, there must be responsible actors or institutions, and I believe it is the responsibility of the United States and like-minded free nations to lead by example for the betterment of the world."
