AhlulBayt News Agency: Pakistan’s Federal Information Minister, Attaullah Tarar, has once again issued a stern warning regarding the consequences of a potential Indian military strike, as tensions between the two nations continue to escalate following a deadly terror attack in Indian-administered Kashmir.
Tarar reiterated that Pakistan has received “credible intelligence” suggesting that India is preparing to launch a military operation. Speaking in an exclusive interview with Pakistan’s Dunya TV, he emphasized that any aggression from India would be met with a decisive response.
“If India attacks, it will face a befitting response,” he stated, underscoring Pakistan’s military readiness. He also highlighted the active role of Pakistan’s Army Chief, General Syed Asim Munir, in overseeing the country’s defense strategy amid the rising tensions.
The minister dismissed India’s narrative regarding the ongoing crisis, asserting that New Delhi was experiencing “diplomatic embarrassment on the global stage.” He claimed that Pakistan was effectively presenting its case internationally, garnering support and making its stance clear to the world.
According to Tarar, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has been in communication with key allies, including China and Saudi Arabia, to convey Islamabad’s concerns over what he described as “India’s provocative stance.” He insisted that India’s claims were false and that Pakistan was succeeding in countering them diplomatically.
The terror attack in Pahalgam, which occurred on April 22, 2025, resulted in the deaths of at least 26 tourists. Pakistan has categorically denied any involvement in the incident.
Since the attack, both nations have engaged in retaliatory measures. India has suspended the Indus Waters Treaty, a water-sharing agreement brokered by the World Bank in 1960, and has closed the Wagah-Attari border crossing. In response, Pakistan has suspended visas for Indian nationals and shut its airspace to Indian airlines.
Pakistan’s Response to India’s Suspension of the Water Treaty
Tarar condemned India’s suspension of the treaty, calling it an “unprovoked and reckless move.” He described India’s decision as “childish” and warned that Pakistan would not tolerate such unilateral actions.
He further stated that Pakistani delegations were being dispatched to various countries to reinforce Islamabad’s stance and expose what he termed as “India’s terrorism” to the international community.
Despite the heightened tensions, neighboring countries, global powers, and international organizations, including the United Nations, have urged both sides to de-escalate and seek peaceful resolutions to their disputes. The international community continues to call for diplomatic engagement to prevent further deterioration of relations between the two nuclear-armed nations.
