Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif has issued a stern warning, claiming that credible intelligence indicates India may be planning an attack on Pakistan through the banned militant group Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
In a statement delivered on Thursday, Asif alleged that India is arming TTP militants with explosives and weapons, channeling them through the Afghan Taliban to destabilize Pakistan. He described the situation as a serious threat to regional peace and a sign of growing hostility.
“Under Modi’s leadership, India is reverting to its old, aggressive strategies rooted in the same Gujarat mindset,” Asif said, referencing Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s controversial political past. He warned that any hostile action from India would receive a robust response, drawing a parallel to the Pulwama incident in 2019.
“India faced international embarrassment after Pulwama. If it tries something similar again, the outcome will be no different,” he asserted.
Following these claims, Pakistan summoned a senior Indian diplomat to formally protest what it described as hostile and provocative actions.
Assuring the public, Asif said Pakistan remains vigilant and is working closely with its security agencies to safeguard national sovereignty. He emphasized that the government is fully prepared to respond decisively to any form of aggression or subversion.
