As India mourns the deadly Pahalgam attack that saw Pakistan-linked terrorists kill 26 people, mostly tourists, a Pakistani minister has taken the opportunity to unleash a tirade against India, calling the attacks a “false flag operation”.
Pakistan Information Minister Attaullah Tarar bizarrely said the false flag operation in Pahalgam reflected “a mindset that is hollow — driven by false pride, arrogance and greed.” “Let me make it very clear that this was the last false flag operation that India carried out in Pahalgam […] It will not dare to carry out such a false flag operation again,” Tarar asserted.
He then went on to claim victimhood, stating that Pakistan had been itself a victim of terrorism and had expressed “full sympathy” with the civilians affected in the attack. Interestingly, after India struck and killed terrorists responsible for the attack, footage emerged from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir showing Pakistan army personnel attending the funeral of three terrorists killed in the Indian military strikes along with members of Hafiz Saeed's banned organisation, Jamaat-ud-Dawah (JuD).
"If India makes any misadventure it will receive a decisive and befitting responce”.

He went on to claim that India has not presented any “solid evidence or proof regarding the Pahalgam incident, nor has it offered satisfactory explanations.” “Furthermore, without evidence, without investigation and without proper inquiry, the blame was immediately placed on Pakistan,” he said.

Tarar’s attack on India came as Defence Minister Rajnath Singh issued a warning to Pakistan. "If you look at the history of India, to date, India has not attacked any country in the world from its own side. But the one who is powerful does not attack anyone. But if a neighbour tries to create trouble, then dot, dot, dot”... All neighbours are fine, only one is troublesome," he said.
"There is no need to tell you what our Army has done in Operation Sindoor", he added. |
