Early today, India gave her military “operational freedom” to respond to the deadly attack occupied last week.
In statements to the media hours after development, Tarar said: “Pakistan has a credible intelligence that India intends to carry out military actions against Pakistan in the next 24-36 hours under the pretext of the accusations of participation of basic and invented in the incident of the Pahalgama.”
He said that Pakistan vehemently rejected “the arrogant Indian role of judge, jury and executioner in the region”, which was completely “reckless.”
“Pakistan has been the victim of terrorism itself and really understands the pain of this scourge,” he said, adding: “We have always condemned it in all its forms and manifestations anywhere in the world.”
Being a responsible state, he said that Pakistan “opens from the heart offered a credible, transparent and independent investigation” of a neutral expert commission to determine the truth.
“Unfortunately, instead of following the path of reason, India has apparently decided to step on the dangerous path of irrationality and confrontation, which will have catastrophic consequences for the complete region and beyond,” said the minister.
He said that “the evasion of credible research is in itself sufficient evidence that exposes the real reasons of India.”
“To consciously make strategic decisions such as hostages to public feelings, by the way to ensure political objectives, it is unfortunate and deplorable,” added the minister.
Tantar reiterated that any military adventurism for India would be responded safely and decisively.
“The international community must remain alive to the reality that the responsibility of the climbing spiral and its consequent consequences will be directly with India,” Tarar emphasized.
He reiterated the nation’s resolution to defend Pakistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity at all costs.

AFPthat he was not authorized to talk to the media.
The Government launched video images of a Modi meeting with a severe face with the Army Chiefs, as well as the Rajnath Singh Minister of Defense.
Also on Tuesday, the Indian Army said that it had repeatedly changed the shots with Pakistani troops through the control line (LOC). The two neighbors have been exchanging fire in the LOC for five days, and each blamed the other for provocation.
Pakistan’s army did not confirm the shooting, but the state media reported on Tuesday that demolished an Indian drone, qualifying him as rape of his airspace.
He did not say when the incident occurred, and there were no comments from New Delhi.
India claimed that Pakistan’s “Army turned to unpaved small weapons that shot through the Loc” during the night from Monday to Tuesday, the fifth consecutive night in which the fire was exchanged there.
The Indian army said his troops had “responded measured and effectively to provocation.” There were no victims reports.
Prime Minister Shehbaz urges the UN Chief to ‘Advise India’ A ‘Exercise Restriction’
Meanwhile, the United Nations Secretary, Antonio Guterres, made calls today with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Indian Foreign Minister to express “deep concern about growing tensions,” said his spokesman.
The UN Chief “stressed the need to avoid a confrontation that could result in tragic consequences. He offered his good offices to support offalization efforts,” said spokesman Stephane Dujarric.
During the telephone call, the prime minister said that Pakistan condemned terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, while highlighting the significant sacrifices provided by the country in World War against terror.
By rejecting the Indian accusations against Pakistan as “without foundation”, the prime minister categorically rejected any attempt to link Pakistan with the Pahalgam incident and reiterated his call to a transparent and neutral investigation into the incident.
He expressed serious concerns about the attempts of India to delegitimize the struggle for Kashmir’s freedom through the use of the ghost of terrorism, as well as its terrorism sponsored by the State widely documented in the busy Kashmir.
Particularly highlighted the weapon of India of the waters of the Indo Basin as unacceptable, while indicating that the water was the life line of 240 million people.
Although he stressed that Pakistan would defend his sovereignty and territorial integrity with all the force in case of any misfortune on the part of India, the prime minister encouraged the UN Chief to advise India to “act in responsibility and restriction.”
He stressed that the unresolved issue of Jammu and Kashmira remained the root cause of instability in southern Asia, and urged the UN Chief to play his role for his fair resolution, according to the relevant resolutions of the UN Security Council.
The Prime Minister reaffirmed the unwavering commitment of Pakistan to promote international peace and security as a responsible member of the international community and a non -permanent member of the UN Security Council.
The UN Chief appreciated Pakistan’s efforts for peace in southern Asia and said that the world could not afford any escalation in the region at the crucial moment.
The relations between the neighbors with nuclear weapons have collapsed after India accused Pakistan of supporting an attack in Kashmir occupied on April 22 in which 26 men were killed.
Islamabad has rejected the position and both countries have exchanged shots and diplomatic spikes, as well as the citizens expelled and ordered the main crossing of the Earth’s border.
Last week, Modi promised to chase those who carried out the attack at the tourist access point of Pahalgam and those who had supported him.
“I tell everyone: India will identify, track and punish all terrorists and their sponsor,” he said Thursday.
“We will persecute them to the end of the earth.”
The bellicose statements have caused concerns of a rapid spiral in military action, with several nations, including the Chinese neighbor, asking for moderation and dialogue.
Kashmira has been divided between India and Pakistan since its independence from the British domain in 1947. Both claim the territory as a whole.
The combatants of freedom in the area occupied by the Indians have fought an insurgency since 1989, seeking independence or a fusion with Pakistan.
The Indian Police have issued sought posters for three men accused of carrying out the attack, two alleged Pakistani and an Indian, who according to them are members of the Lashkar-I-i-Taiba group, an unattended terrorist organization.
They have announced a reward of two million rupees ($ 23,500) to obtain information that led to the arrest of each man and carried out radical arrests that seek any suspicious links to the alleged murderers.
The worst attack in recent years in the busy Kashmir was in pulwama in 2019, when a person rammed a car full of explosives in a convoy of security forces, killing 40 and wiring 35.
Indian combat planes carried out air attacks in the Pakistani territory 12 days later. The next day, the Pakistan Air Force made attacks through the LOC from the Pakistani airspace.
Iran has already offered to mediate and Saudi Arabia has said that Riad was trying to “avoid a escalation.”
The president of the United States, Donald Trump, minimized tensions, saying that on Friday the dispute will be “discovered, one way or another.”
