Pakistan Army Chief: Strong Reaction to India’s Moves After Pahalgam Attack – Escalating Tensions
The Pakistan Army Chief, General Asim Munir, has issued a forceful response to India’s escalating actions following the Pahalgam terror attack, intensifying already strained relations between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. Munir’s statement comes as India increases diplomatic and strategic pressure on Pakistan, which it blames for orchestrating the deadly assault that claimed 26 civilian lives.
General Asim Munir’s Statement
In a press briefing held in Rawalpindi, General Asim Munir denied any Pakistani involvement in the Pahalgam attack and accused India of “orchestrating a narrative to malign Pakistan internationally.” He added:
“The Pakistan Army is fully prepared to defend the nation’s sovereignty. We will not tolerate baseless allegations or attempts to destabilize peace in the region.”
The statement also warned of “consequences” if India continued what he termed “provocative military posturing” along the Line of Control (LoC).
India’s Stern Actions After Pahalgam
Following the brutal terror strike in Jammu and Kashmir, India:
- Revoked visas for all Pakistani nationals
- Suspended the Indus Waters Treaty
- Expelled key Pakistani diplomats
- Elevated military alert status along the border
These steps were justified by Indian officials citing evidence pointing to the involvement of Pakistan-based militant group The Resistance Front, an affiliate of Lashkar-e-Taiba.
Regional Fallout and International Reactions
Munir’s remarks have drawn global concern. The United States and European Union have called for “measured responses” and “de-escalation through diplomacy.” However, the Pakistan Army Chief’s rhetoric suggests a hardened stance from Islamabad amid increasing isolation on the world stage.
In parallel, reports indicate military aid shipments from Turkey and China to Pakistan, adding a broader geopolitical dimension to the escalating conflict.
Looking Forward
The remarks by the Pakistan army chief mark a pivotal point in the post-Pahalgam fallout. While diplomatic options remain, both nations appear to be positioning themselves for extended standoff dynamics.
As tensions rise, regional stability and peace now hang in the balance, and international mediation may soon become necessary to avert a deeper crisis.
