Asif warned India that any miscalculation could bring drastic consequences, saying Pakistan’s response would be swift and decisive if provoked.
- On Thursday, Defence Minister Khawaja Asif warned Indian counterpart Rajnath Singh that the "illusion of space for war between two nuclear states is inconceivable and has drastic consequences."
- Singh's warning against any "misadventure" by Pakistan prompted the response, allegedly made under the shadow of the ongoing Middle East war, according to Indian media reports.
- In a post on X, Asif argued "such threat-mongering is not new," characterizing India's rhetoric as externalizing internal fragility as the Pahalgam anniversary approaches.
- The Pakistan Army remains prepared to defend sovereignty, with Asif recalling "Marka-i-Haq remains fresh in our minds" and warning the next response will be "even more forceful and decisive."
- New Delhi previously linked the April 22 Pahalgam episode to Pakistan without evidence, while Islamabad denied responsibility and called for a neutral investigation following brief military escalation.
