At first, it may seem that Khan’s remarks were off the cuff and not properly thought out. After the Soviets withdrew in 1989, Khan said Pakistan was left with many groups that it had trained to take on the Soviet Red Army. So, (when) we came to power, we decided to implement it and we dismantled whatever was left of these groups," Khan said. I would like the UN to send observers (and) see for themselves what we have done," Khan said. Kanwal Sibal, former foreign secretary, said: “Khan’s statement was just a throwaway line to prove his credibility."
