Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar has categorically stated that Pakistan has the capacity to respond effectively to any Indian misadventure with full force and might, as has been demonstrated in the past.                                   

Talking to representatives of foreign media in Islamabad on Sunday, he said India should not mistake our words for our weakness.        

Referring to Pulwama incident of February 2019, the Minister said India has tested our patience in the past and we passed it with flying colors and India was left to regret.    

He said India has never shown enough courtesy to condemn or express concern when any terrorist incident occurs in Pakistan, like the recent Jaffar express incident.  

The Minister said India is involved in state sponsored terrorism in Pakistan and other world countries.

He said trans-national assassination of Sikhs across the globe by India has been proved by the countries where these assassinations took place.

He said there are credible, irrefutable evidence of India's funding, harbouring and supporting terrorists in Balochistan.

Mentioning the attack on Pakistani High Commission in London, Attaullah Tarar said it is India's extremist ideology which prompts its people to attack our foreign missions.    

Attaullah Tarar said India had pre-conceived notions about the Pahalgam incident, may be the purpose was to pin the blame on Pakistan.     

He said blaming Pakistan for Pahalgam incident is a distraction, as Pakistan is making record successes in the war against terrorism with its security forces successfully foiling terror attempts and killing terrorists every other day.

He said all allegations by India against Pakistan make no sense. He said the Pahalgam area is more than 150 km away from the Line of Control, and India has not provided any singly evidence to corroborate its arguments.         

The Minister said Pakistan has called for an independent probe into the incident as this is testimony to the fact that our hands are clean. 

He emphasized that how can a state like Pakistan which is at frontline in war against terrorism can be held responsible for such attacks.          

The Minister, while reaffirming the national pledge to continue war against terrorism, said Pakistan always has and will continue to promote global peace and security.

He highlighted that Pakistan is a responsible member of UN Security Council, has very cordial ties with all its neighbors and is an important member of many global and regional alliances and has always promoted peace in the world.
