Pakistan’s Response to India’s Allegations Following Pahalgam Attack

After a tragic attack in Pahalgam, India has raised tensions with Pakistan. India has announced several punishment measures, including stopping the Indus Waters Treaty. This treaty, established in 1960 and pivotal for water sharing in the region, has withstood historical conflicts between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. The immediate aftermath of the attack, which left 26 dead including 25 Indians and one Nepali citizen saw India respond with a significant diplomatic clampdown, as officials accused Pakistan of supporting terrorism.Man Suffers Heart Attack After Winning 33 Crore Jackpot

Pakistan’s government strongly denied any involvement, calling India’s claims unfounded and “immature.” Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar criticized India’s response on social media and stressed the importance of responsible dialogue. In a statement, the Foreign Office extended condolences to the victims’ families and reiterated its stance against the allegations.

The upcoming National Security Committee meeting will focus on strategizing Pakistan’s official response to India’s aggressive stance, which includes the closure of the main border transit point and expulsion of Pakistani defense attaches from India. Diplomatic observers warn that these developments could exacerbate the already strained bilateral relations, echoing tensions reminiscent of the 2019 Pulwama crisis.

India’s Cabinet Committee on Security, led by PM Narendra Modi, condemned the attack and vowed to take stringent measures against those responsible, including a promise of retaliation. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh stated that India would not only pursue those directly involved but also those who orchestrated the violence. As military operations intensify, fears of a crisis between the two countries loom large.

World leaders have expressed their condolences towards India, with significant backing from the United States and other nations, further complicating the geopolitical landscape. Analyst Michael Kugelman highlighted the severity of this situation, warning it poses a serious risk of a new crisis in South Asia.
