Indian Military Prepared for Potential Attack Within 36 Hours as Per Trusted Information
Pakistan's Info Minister, Attaullah Tarar, issued a stark warning on Wednesday, claiming the country has intelligence suggesting an imminent Indian military attack in the next 24-36 hours. The alleged reason for this aggression? The recent Pahalgam incident, which the Pakistanis think India will exploit as a false pretext.
Taking to social media, Tarar stated, "India's planning a military strike within the next 24 to 36 hours, using the Pahalgam incident as a flimsy excuse. Any act of aggression will be met with a resolute response. India will bear full responsibility for any disastrous consequences in the region."
This warning comes against the backdrop of increasing tensions between the two nuclear powers, following the tragic tourist resort attack in Indian-controlled Kashmir which claimed 26 lives. India blames Pakistan for the attack, leading to retaliatory actions from both nations.
Pakistan insists it possesses intelligence pointing to India's intention to launch military action. The country has issued veiled threats with the possibility of abandoning the Simla Agreement and ceasefire breakdown along the Line of Control. Pakistan's Defense Minister, Khawaja Muhammad Asif, amplified the threat in an interview with Reuters, stating that an Indian military invasion was imminent.
However, India's Ministry of External Affairs has yet to respond to the threats or Reuters' queries regarding the issue.
Kashmir, contested by both India and Pakistan, has been a flashpoint for decades, leading to several wars between the two countries. The international community follows the ongoing standoff with apprehension, fearing the possibility of escalation between two nuclear powers.
