Pakistan has firmly denied India's allegations of involvement in an attack in Poonch, Indian-administered Kashmir, labeling the claims as baseless and politically motivated. On Friday, April 25, 2025, Pakistan's Senate unanimously passed a resolution condemning India's accusations and warned of a robust response to any aggressive actions by India.
In a Senate session, Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar stated that India was making unfounded claims without evidence. He emphasized that Pakistan's armed forces are "fully prepared" to counter any hostile actions. Dar also informed the Senate about the National Security Committee's decision to expel all Indian nationals on SAARC visas within 48 hours.
Dar highlighted Pakistan's diplomatic efforts, noting that 26 countries were briefed on the issue on Thursday, with the remaining to be updated on Friday. He also referenced past retaliatory measures to caution India against escalation. Additionally, Dar addressed the Indus Waters Treaty, stating that it cannot be unilaterally suspended as it requires mutual consent. He underscored that the treaty is vital for the lives of 240 million Pakistanis, and the National Security Committee has declared any threat to suspend water flow as an act of war.
Pakistan's Defense Minister Khawaja Asif raised global concerns about the escalating tensions, warning that a full-scale conflict between the two nuclear-armed nations could emerge. In an interview with British Sky News, Asif urged the international community to be "worried" about the potential for a "full-fledged war" following deadly incidents in Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir.
The rising tensions have drawn international attention, with fears of a broader conflict between the two South Asian neighbors.
