Amid rising India-Pakistan military tensions, Pakistan has intensified its defense readiness following accusations from India over a recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Indian-administered Kashmir. Speaking on Wednesday, Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar stated that while Pakistan seeks peace in the region, it will not hesitate to respond with full force if provoked.
Pakistan Denies Involvement in Kashmir Attack
India has blamed “Pakistan-linked elements” for the deadly assault on tourists in Kashmir, sharply escalating tensions. However, Deputy PM Dar firmly rejected the allegations, stating, “Pakistan has neither any connection to the incident nor any interest in its outcomes.” He called the accusations baseless and politically motivated.

Armed Forces on Alert
With fears of an imminent Indian military strike, Pakistan’s armed forces have been placed on high alert. “Our military is fully vigilant and prepared,” Dar emphasized. He noted that Pakistan would exercise restraint, but any act of aggression from across the border would trigger a powerful and swift response.
Call for Peace Amid Escalation
Dar stressed that Pakistan does not want to escalate conflict and has always worked toward maintaining regional peace. “We believe in dialogue and diplomacy,” he said, “but let there be no doubt: our response will be very strong if we are attacked.”
Regional and Global Implications
This new wave of tension has sparked international concern, with regional stability at risk. Analysts warn that a military escalation between the two nuclear-armed neighbors could spiral into a broader crisis. Pakistan has reportedly informed global partners, including the United Nations, about India’s alleged intentions.
As both nations brace for the unknown, diplomatic efforts appear to be hanging by a thread. The coming hours may prove critical in determining whether dialogue prevails or military confrontation erupts again between these long-time rivals.
