Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Attaullah Tarar, has dismissed India’s allegations linking Pakistan to the recent Pahalgam incident, calling them baseless and unsubstantiated.

In an interview with the international News Network CNN, he said India continues to point fingers at Pakistan without offering any credible evidence. He said, “India holds Pakistan responsible, yet it has failed to identify any group involved or present evidence of cross-border involvement.”

The Information Minister said New Delhi is using the Pahalgam incident for political mileage and deflecting attention from its internal issues. He said, “This is not the first time India has blamed Pakistan without investigation. Such claims lack merit and only escalate regional tensions.”

Replying to a question, the Minister revealed that Pakistan had credible information suggesting India was planning an act of aggression. He said as a responsible state and a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council, it was our duty to share these findings with the global community.

He reaffirmed Pakistan’s stance as a peace-loving country that advocates for peaceful coexistence, but noted that the country reserves the right to defend itself.

Information also reiterated Pakistan’s offer for a fair and transparent investigation into the Pahalgam attack. He said, that Pakistan remains open to impartial scrutiny, but India has consistently ignored such gestures.

Highlighting the role of the Pakistan’s armed forces, he said Pakistan’s military is fully alert and capable of defending the homeland. He added that the people of Pakistan are united and resolute in the face of any external threat.

Attaullah Tarar said Pakistan is actively engaging with friendly nations to present its perspective and clarify its position on the matter. He said the responsibility now lies with India to share credible evidence with the world, rather than making unverified claims.
