Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif said on Monday that India can at any time make a military strike along the control in Jammu and Kashmir.
“There are reports that India can intervene at any time along LOC … The new Delhi will be given a suitable answer,” the Minister of PTI press agency quoted as in Islamabad.
The statement of Asif came as a tension between two neighbors nuclear-armed-indiating and Pakistan-in the result of a terrorist attack of Pahalgam high.
At least 26 people, mostly tourists, were killed in a terrorist attack that occurred 22 April in the area of Jammu and Kashmir Pahalgam.
Khawaja Asif reportedly stated that Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif asked for an international probe into the Pahalgam incident.
“Such a probe would reveal whether India or any internal group was involved, and explained the truth to the unfounded accusation of Nový Delhi,” Asif said.
Last week, the Minister of Information Atta Tara said that 24-36 hours were important and feared a possible strike of India. However, time has passed and India was no measures.
Meanwhile, General Pakistani Army General Syed Asim Munir on Monday repeated his intention to respond with full force to protect “national prestige and prosperity of his people”.
India has announced a number of repressive measures against Pakistan, including the suspension of Indus waters, the conclusion of a single surgical border transition of land in Attari and a reduction in diplomatic bonds after a terrorist attack.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said India was determined to take a “solid and decisive” event against terrorists and their supporters.
PM Modi also said the highest defensive brass that the armed forces have “complete surgical freedom” to decide on the regime, goals and timing of India’s response to the attack.
