Information Minister Attaullah Tarar has warned that India is planning a military attack against Pakistan within the next 24 to 36 hours. He said this in a video statement posted late Tuesday, citing credible and verified intelligence reports. Tarar explained that India is using the Pahalgam attack in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) as an excuse for possible military action. The Pahalgam incident left 26 people dead.

“There is verified intelligence indicating that India intends to carry out a military operation against Pakistan. India is using the Pahalgam incident as justification for aggression,” said the minister.

He clearly stated that if India carries out any form of aggression, Pakistan will respond decisively and strongly. “Pakistan will hold India fully responsible for the potentially disastrous consequences in the region,” he warned.

Tarar dismissed India’s accusations and rejected its narrative. He said Pakistan would not accept India’s self-assigned role as “plaintiff, judge and executioner” in regional issues. He reminded that Pakistan itself has suffered from terrorism for more than 20 years and continues to condemn terrorism in all forms across the world.

The minister pointed out that Pakistan had taken a responsible approach after the Pahalgam incident. He said Pakistan had offered an independent and neutral investigation to uncover the real facts and motives behind the attack. “Unfortunately, India chose the path of irrationality and confrontation,” Tarar stated.

He added that India’s refusal to agree to a neutral investigation shows its real intentions. “Using such attacks to pursue political objectives is both unfortunate and condemnable,” he said.

Reaffirming Pakistan’s position, Tarar concluded: “Any military adventurism from India will receive a certain and decisive response. The international community must recognise that responsibility for any catastrophic escalation will rest solely with India. The people of Pakistan will defend their sovereignty and territorial integrity at all costs.”
