Tensions Rise: NDTV Live Updates on Pakistan-India Border Situation
The Pakistan-India border situation remains volatile, with both countries exchanging blows and accusations. The international community is watching closely, as the situation has the potential to escalate into a full-blown conflict. Pakistan's stance on terrorism has come under scrutiny, with many questioning its willingness to cooperate with international investigations.
Pakistan's Information Minister Attaullah Tarar has assured the National Assembly that India will receive a crushing response to its aggression, emphasizing that retaliation is inevitable and will be decided by the armed forces. The statement comes after a series of attacks along the Line of Control, including fighter jets and drone attacks, which Tarar said failed to achieve their goals and humiliated India.
The Pakistani government has claimed to have shot down 25 Israeli-made drones used by India to attack Pakistan, and has inflicted heavy losses on the Indian forces, with 40 to 50 soldiers killed. Lawmakers in the National Assembly have condemned Indian aggression, warning that Modi's policies are endangering peace in the region and beyond. PTI lawmakers have vowed to stand by the armed forces to counter enemy aggression and avenge the blood of martyrs.
In a separate development, Pakistan's UK High Commissioner Mohammad Faisal was cornered by Sky News anchor Yalda Hakim during a live interview, exposing contradictions in Pakistan's stance on terrorism. Faisal struggled to defend Pakistan's refusal to cooperate with international investigations into several major terrorist attacks in India, including the 2001 Indian Parliament attack and the 2019 Pulwama attack. The exchange has raised questions about Pakistan's true role in regional terrorism and its willingness to cooperate with international investigations.
The escalating tensions between Pakistan and India have sparked concerns about regional stability and the potential for further conflict. As the situation continues to unfold, NDTV live updates will provide the latest news and analysis on the Pakistan-India border situation.
