Pakistan’s Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Attaullah Tarar, has raised alarms over potential military action by India within the next 24 to 36 hours. In a video statement, Tarar cited ‘credible intelligence’ suggesting India is mobilizing based on ‘baseless allegations’ linked to a deadly attack in Pahalgam, Indian-administered Kashmir.
The Tensions Explained 🕵️♂️
Tarar accused India of assuming a ‘hubristic role of judge, jury, and executioner’ and emphasised that Pakistan would respond ‘decisively’ to any aggression. Islamabad has proposed a neutral investigation into the Pahalgam incident, which killed at least 25 tourists earlier this month. India, however, has dismissed the offer, escalating cross-border tensions.
Global Reactions on Standby 🌐
Pakistan’s minister urged the international community to hold India accountable for any escalation, vowing to defend sovereignty ‘at all costs.’ Meanwhile, Indian media reports allege Pakistani involvement in the attack—a claim Islamabad vehemently denies. With both nations armed with nuclear capabilities, the world watches closely as tensions boil.
‘India’s self-assumed role is reckless and rejected,’ Tarar declared.
This latest standoff adds to decades of hostility over Kashmir, a region both countries claim in full. As rhetoric heats up, analysts warn the situation could spiral into one of the year’s most dangerous geopolitical flashpoints.
