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
