Minister of Information Ataullah Tarar confirmed Pakistan’s obligation to defend his sovereignty and emphasized that the country would respond strongly to any aggression, stressing that any misunderstanding would be met with full strength. The comments come in the midst of rising tensions over the Pahagam attack in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), which Pakistan has strongly condemned.

Tarar approached the media following an orientation with foreign diplomats on Pakistan’s attitude to the Pahagam incident. He confirmed the country’s obligation to defend its sovereignty and made it clear that although Pakistan is a peace -loving nation, any misadventure would be met with full strength.

The Pahagam incident, which took place earlier this week, has given rise to indignation in Pakistan, where officials claim that it is part of a broader effort from India to change attention away from alleged involvement in state-sponsored terrorism.

“India is directly involved in the state’s terrorism, and we have undeniable evidence of its activities,” Tarar said, accused India of funding and arming terrorist groups operating in Pakistan.

The incident took place despite the presence of heavy Indian security forces in IIOJK and raised questions about India’s assurance in the region. Pakistan also accused India of trying to escalate tension over the Indus Waters Treaty, which regulates the water distribution between the two countries.

“Any attempt to stop Pakistan’s water will be seen as a hostile act,” warned Tarar, adding that India’s actions were both immature and irresponsible.

The Minister of Information highlighted the long -standing question of terrorism and said Pakistan had suffered enormous losses in his fight against terrorism. “We have lost over 90,000 lives and continue to fight terrorism on the front lines,” he added.

Tarar emphasized that Pakistan’s security forces had achieved significant success in counteracting terrorism, but he questioned why India had not condemned attacks such as Jaffer Express incident, which saw innocent civilians taken as hostages of terrorists.

In the question of the alleged Indian involvement in terrorism, Tarar pointed to the arrest of the Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav as an important proof. Jadhav, a former Indian naval officer, was arrested by Pakistani authorities for espionage and terrorism. “If we had not arrested Kulbhushan Jadhav, these facts may never have emerged,” Tarar noted.

The minister also accused India of being involved in the killing of SIKH leaders abroad with reference to reports of Indian commitment to murder in Canada and the United States. “India’s commitment to global terrorism is well documented, and Pakistan has undeniable evidence connecting India with terrorist activities on his earth,” he claimed.

Tarar raised concerns that the Pahagam incident was a redirection tactic from India to shift focus from Pakistan’s successes in terrorism. “The Pahaldam -Infront took place in a region far from our boundary. Why are we getting the blame?” He asked and noticed the suspicious timing of the incident and the rapid filing of a four.

He made it clear that Pakistan’s attitude towards the Indus Waters Treaty was firm, and warned that any attempt from India to change the agreement would have serious consequences. “We are considering any movement to stop Pakistan’s water supply as a declaration of war,” he said.

In a broader message, Tarar Pakistan’s commitment to global peace repeated and said the country would continue to play a responsible role in the world stage. “We have always expanded a hand with collaboration. Our actions at the international arena speak for itself,” he concluded.

He also confirmed that Pakistan had offered to cooperate in independent studies of the Pahagam incident, which confirmed Pakistan’s commitment to peace and stability in the region. “We are ready to collaborate in any independent study that we have always done in the past,” he added.

He warned India against underestimating Pakistan’s decision and said, “Pakistan will always defend his sovereignty and respond resolutely to any provocation we have done before.”
