The Minister of Information, Attaullah Tarar, on Wednesday morning, said that the reports of “credible intelligence” indicated that India was planning to perform a military action against Pakistan in the “next 24 to 36 hours”, which adds to the tensions between the two countries following the attack of the pahalgama.

“Pakistan has been the victim of terrorism itself and really understands the pain of this scourge,” said the minister, added: “We have always condemned it in all its forms and manifestations anywhere in the world.”
Being a responsible state, Tarar said, Pakistan “openly offered a credible, transparent and independent investigation” by 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,” he emphasized.
The information minister said that “the evasion of credible investigations is in itself sufficient evidence that exposes the real reasons for India.”
“Consciously containing strategic decisions such as hostages to public feelings, by the way to ensure political objectives, it is unfortunate and deplorable,” he added.
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 [an] The climbing spiral and its subsequent consequences will be directly with India. “
He reiterated the nation’s resolution to defend Pakistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity at all costs.
