The Minister of Defense, Khawaja Asif, warned on Monday that India could carry out a military strike at any time throughout the control line (LOC), such as diplomatic and security tensions between the two nuclear armed nations increase after Pahalgam’s attack in the Kashmir occupied by India.
“There are reports that India can attack at any time at the LOC … New Delhi will receive an adequate response,” journalists in Islamabad told.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has requested an international commission to investigate the incident. “Such research would expose whether India or an internal group was involved and clarified the truth behind the unfounded accusations of New Delhi,” Asif said.
The minister accused the Indian prime minister, Narendra Modi, of “pushing the region to the edge of nuclear war” for political and repeated profits the ancient accusations of Pakistan of Indian participation in terrorism in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Baluchistan.
“We had provided Evidence from the UN in 2016 and 2017, including videos of financial terrorism of India,” he said. He also linked the recent terror wave in KP and Baluchistan with groups that operate from Afghanistan, supposedly supported by India.
Asif also questioned the absence of Pakistan Tehreek-E-Insaf (PTI) party of key security information one day before, saying: “I don’t know why PTI decided not to participate.”
He added that both parliamentary houses have approved resolutions on the crisis, and the parties are free to call a conference from all parties if they wish.
