Pakistan Claims India Planning Military Action In 24-36 Hours

<p>Pakistan on Wednesday sounded an alarm claiming it has reliable intelligence that India might launch a military operation within the next 24 to 36 hours. The neighbouring nation warned India that any aggression would be met with consequences.</p>
<p>This comes hours after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s high-level meeting with top military officials on Tuesday. PM Modi granted the armed forces full autonomy to decide how and when to respond to last week&rsquo;s deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, which claimed 26 lives, as per government sources.</p>
<p>In the wake of the attack, Modi vowed that the perpetrators and those supporting them would not escape justice, promising to track them down “to the ends of the earth.”&nbsp;</p>
<p>India has also intensified diplomatic pressure on Pakistan after the attack. The Resistance Front, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, has claimed responsibility for the attack. Meanwhile, security forces in Jammu and Kashmir have intensified the search for terrorists and their hideouts.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>’India Would Bear Full Responsibility For The Fallout’: Pakistan Minister&nbsp;</h2>
<p>In a video statement released around 2 am on Wednesday, Pakistani Information Minister Attaullah Tarar accused India of preparing for military action based on what he called “fabricated and baseless” claims. He emphasised that Pakistan has long been a victim of terrorism itself and categorically condemned such acts in all forms.</p>
<p>The minister said Pakistan had proposed an impartial investigation led by a neutral international body, but “India had rejected the offer in favour of confrontation”, the PTI report added. He warned that any military move by India would be met with a “firm and decisive” response.</p>
<p>He added that India would bear “full responsibility for the fallout” if tensions escalated.</p>
<p>India has rolled out a series of strong retaliatory measures, including suspending the decades-old Indus Waters Treaty, expelling Pakistani military attaches, cancelling all visas issued to Pakistani nationals since April 27 and shutting down the Attari land border crossing.</p>
