Pakistan's Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Attaullah Tarar, issued a stark warning on Tuesday, claiming that Islamabad possesses credible intelligence indicating India may initiate military action against Pakistan within the next 24 to 36 hours. The alleged pretext for this operation, Tarar said, is based on "baseless and concocted allegations" linking Pakistan to a recent incident in Pahalgam, located in Indian-administered Kashmir.
Attaullah Tarar denounced India's stance, accusing New Delhi of assuming a "hubristic role of Judge, Jury and Executioner" in the region. He described such behavior as "reckless" and asserted that Pakistan "vehemently rejects" these unilateral actions.

"Pakistan has been the victim of terrorism itself and truly understands the pain of this scourge," Attaullah Tarar emphasized, noting that Islamabad has consistently condemned terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, globally.

Reiterating Pakistan's position as a responsible state, Attaullah Tarar highlighted that his government had offered to cooperate in a transparent and independent investigation into the Pahalgam incident, proposing that it be led by a neutral commission of international experts. However, he criticized India for allegedly rejecting this offer in favor of what he termed a "dangerous path of irrationality and confrontation".
"Evasion of credible investigations is in itself sufficient evidence exposing India's real motives," Attaullah said, accusing Indian government of stoking public emotions to serve political goals. He warned that such strategies risk triggering catastrophic consequences for the broader South Asian region and beyond.
