Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar on Tuesday strongly denied Indian allegations linking Pakistan to the Pahalgam terror attack, warning that any hostile move from India would be met with a forceful response, regardless of the consequences.

Speaking during a Senate session, Dar said, “If our hands weren’t clean, we wouldn’t have offered transparent investigations to the world. We have nothing to do with the Pahalgam incident, but if India acts, we won’t calculate losses — we’ll respond in kind.”

He said DG ISPR Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif had already laid out undeniable evidence before the nation, while India had failed to provide a single credible proof. “Even Indian ministers are now demanding Modi’s resignation,” he remarked.

Dar added that he had personally spoken to foreign ministers of several friendly countries to counter Indian propaganda and share Pakistan’s stance. He said nations like Türkiye and China had assured Pakistan of their support.

“We are not aggressors, but we will not stay silent either. If anyone tries to harm us, they will get a strong reply,” the deputy PM said, adding that if India tampers with Pakistan’s water rights, it would be considered an act of war.

He also announced that Pakistan would soon compile a detailed dossier to present to the international community. “India couldn’t even prove its Pulwama claims — let alone this one,” he said.
