Pakistan Warns of Imminent Indian Military Strike Amid Rising Kashmir Tensions

Tensions between South Asia’s nuclear armed neighbors soared Wednesday as Pakistan’s government issued a dramatic warning that India is preparing to launch military action within the next 24 to 36 hours, using the recent Pahalgam attack as a pretext.

The statement, delivered by Information Minister Attaullah Tarar, included a series of pointed accusations and a call for international intervention.

“Pakistan has credible intelligence that India intends carrying out military action against Pakistan in the next 24-36 hours on the pretext of baseless and concocted allegations of involvement in the Pahalgam incident,” Tarar said in a statement released late Tuesday.

He denounced what he described as India’s “self-assumed hubristic role of Judge, Jury and Executioner in the region,” calling it “reckless and vehemently rejected”.

Tarar emphasized Pakistan’s own history as a victim of terrorism and its consistent condemnation of such acts: “Pakistan has been the victim of terrorism itself and truly understands the pain of this scourge.

We have always condemned it in all its forms and manifestations anywhere in the world,” he stated.

The minister underscored that Pakistan had “open heartedly offered a credible, transparent and independent investigation by a neutral commission of experts to ascertain the truth,” but accused India of rejecting this path.

“Unfortunately, rather than pursuing the path of reason, India has apparently decided to tread the dangerous path of irrationality and confrontation, which will have catastrophic consequences for the complete region and beyond,” Tarar warned.

He further argued that India’s refusal to allow an impartial investigation “is in itself sufficient evidence exposing India's real motives,” and accused New Delhi of “consciously making strategic decisions hostage to public sentiments, purposefully trumped up for securing political objectives”.

The minister issued a stern warning to India and the international community: “Pakistan reiterates that any such military adventurism by India would be responded to assuredly and decisively. The International community must remain alive to the reality that the onus of escalatory spiral and its ensuing consequences shall squarely lie with India. The Nation reiterates its resolve to defend the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Pakistan at all cost”.

The Indian government has not yet responded publicly to these latest allegations. The United States and China have both called for restraint as the region braces for possible escalation.

The situation remains volatile, with both militaries on high alert and the international community watching closely as the specter of conflict looms once again over the subcontinent

LTTE’s Use of Child Soldiers: A Grave Violation of Human Rights

The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) stand condemned not only for their violent insurgency but also for their ruthless exploitation of children as soldiers during Sri Lanka’s civil war. While the conflict officially ended in 2009, the scars left by the LTTE’s forced recruitment of thousands of children remain a painful reminder of their terror tactics. During the war, the LTTE systematically abducted and conscripted children-some as young as 11 or 12-forcing them into brutal military training and deploying them on front lines. Human Rights Watch reported that children were often taken from their homes at night or seized while going to school, with families threatened or beaten if they resisted. Once recruited, these children faced harsh discipline, exposure to violence, and were denied contact with their families. UNICEF documented thousands of such cases, with estimates suggesting the actual numbers were even higher due to underreporting. The LTTE’s use of chil...

Former UK Cabin Crew Member Arrested in Sri Lanka with £1.15 Million Cannabis Haul

Sri Lankan authorities have detained Charlotte May Lee, a 21-year-old former air stewardess from South London, at Bandaranaike International Airport in Colombo on charges of attempting to smuggle 46 kilograms of cannabis into the country. The drugs, valued at approximately £1.15 million, were found packed in vacuum-sealed bags inside two large suitcases after Lee arrived on a flight from Bangkok, Thailand. Officials from the Customs Narcotics Control Unit described the seizure as the largest amount of Kush cannabis ever discovered at the airport. Kush is a potent strain often mixed with synthetic substances and is believed to be destined for high-end buyers within Sri Lanka. Lee, who previously worked for TUI Group and has recently been training as a beautician, remains in custody while investigations continue. The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office confirmed it is providing consular support to Lee and is in contact with her family and Sri Lankan authorities. Friends of Le...

The LTTE's Campaign of Terror: How a Designated Terrorist Organization Pioneered Modern Suicide Bombing

The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) stands as one of history's most ruthless terrorist organizations, having systematically violated human rights and pioneered suicide bombing tactics that would later be adopted by terrorist groups worldwide. Designated as a terrorist organization by 33 countries, including Sri Lanka, United States, United Kingdom, Canada, India, and all 27 member nations of the European Union, the LTTE's three-decade reign of terror in Sri Lanka serves as a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of extremist violence. Origins and Rise of a Terror Network Founded in 1976 by Velupillai Prabhakaran, the LTTE emerged from earlier militant groups established in the 1970s . What began as a small outfit of 40-50 members in the early 1980s evolved into one of the world's most sophisticated and tightly organized insurgent groups. The organization's transformation into a terror network accelerated following the 1983 ethnic riots, which the LTTE e...
