Hmmm...not sure what to make of this. Is this announcement to deter India or warn our citizens? Also, what is being done in preparation if true? Odd announcement. Not necessarily a bad move, but definitely odd

It's a good move, basically pre-empting an Indian military adventure to boost Modi's election campaign. Even more likely to happen with the starving farmer's protests hitting the BJP campaign at the wrong time.

It plays into Modi's hand that he is belligerent. Looks like Imran Khan wants Modi to be re-elected.

Imran Khan wants Modi re-elected only so he can look like a master statesman in comparison. He has gone from being Taliban Khan to Jinnah reincarnated in the last few weeks.

Man this FM is such an incompetent person. If he knew this why is he blurting it out in the media. Warning can be issued behind the scenes like before.

Hes mega incompetent but this exposes India to the world now....

Putting pressure on them to not do anything.

Must have had some strong intelligence

 

[Pakistanian]

No, this is a good move. This declaration would most likely force India to cancel their plans of another attack. This would also justify any Pakistani retaliation.

Don't insult Q-e-A by comparing him with Imran Khan. As you have said, he is putting his narcissism over the interests of both countries.

KARACHI: Pakistan, warning of a possible new attack by giant neighbor India, said on Sunday it had summoned the Indian deputy high commissioner to protest against any “misadventure”.

“Indian deputy high commissioner was summoned for demarche in line with Foreign Minister’s briefing of today and warned against any misadventure,” Pakistani Foreign Office spokesman Mohammad Faisal said in a Tweet.

Pakistan had “reliable intelligence” that India would attack again this month, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said earlier, as tension over a February standoff between the two nuclear-armed neighbors had appeared to ease.

Addressing a news conference in Multan, Qureshi said there is “reliable intelligence that India is readying for another act of aggression” against Pakistan.

“A [fresh] act of aggression by India against Pakistan is likely between April 16 and 20. According to the reliable intelligence we have right now, a new Pulwama-like incident can be [planned] by India to increase diplomatic pressure on Pakistan and to justify military action against Pakistan," he said.

"After consultation with Prime Minister Imran Khan, we have decided to share this information with the people of Pakistan as well as the international community immediately. It is our policy to keep the nation informed," the minister added.

"Fear of war has not yet dissipated," Qureshi said, as he called on the United Nations and the international community to play their role in maintaining peace and stability in the region.

"Pakistan has apprised all five permanent member states of the United Nations Security Council [China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, and United States] of India's attempts to disrupt peace," he shared.

"The international community must take notice of India's irresponsible behaviour. The world must not stay silent, or peace and stability in South Asia could suffer."

Qureshi said Pakistan is "trying sincerely to resolve" matters and is again inviting India for dialogue in the interests of the two countries and the region.

"Pakistan is again inviting India for dialogue. for [peace] and economic prosperity of both the countries," the minister offered.

He reiterated the measures taken by Pakistan to defuse the tensions with India arising in the aftermath of the Pulwama suicide bombing on February 14, in which more than 40 Indian paramilitary soldiers were killed.

"Pakistan's decision to release captured Indian Air Force pilot was a gesture of peace [towards India]," he said, adding that the country has also announced to release 360 Indian prisoners this month.

I think it’s extremely unsporting of the Pakistani government to release the Indian plan to the world. It was shared in confidence.

 

[sjahmed23]

Thank you Major Adnan Sami

This is a public pre-emption. Of course you would hate on the FM, considering he raised his voice against corrupt Jahangir Tareen's presence in government meetings.

Didnt mention the time also so am disappointed.

This episode proves one thing, ISI is the greatest and most effective secret service in the world. Mashallah. Time to pull up the curtains and spill the beans on external threats. Expose the enemies of Pakistan!

The MEA spokesperson’s statement came hours after Mr. Qureshi said in a press conference in Multan that Pakistan has “reliable intelligence” that India is planning to attack Pakistan again between April 16 and 20
India on Sunday rejected as “irresponsible and preposterous” Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi’s comments that India was planning to attack Pakistan again between April 16 and 20.

In a strongly worded statement, External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said the comments by the Pakistani Foreign Minister were aimed at whipping up war hysteria in the region.

‘Public gimmick’
“India rejects the irresponsible and preposterous statement by the Foreign Minister of Pakistan with a clear objective of whipping up war hysteria in the region. This public gimmick appears to be a call to Pakistan-based terrorists to undertake a terror attack in India,” Mr. Kumar said.

The MEA spokesperson’s statement came hours after Mr. Qureshi said at a press conference in Multan that Pakistan had “reliable intelligence” that India was planning to attack Pakistan again between April 16 and 20.

Mr. Qureshi claimed that ambassadors of the permanent members of the UN Security Council in Islamabad had been informed about “the plan” two days ago.

“We have reliable intelligence that India has made a new scheme and the planning is under way and there are chances of another aggression against Pakistan and according to our information this action can take place between April 16 and 20,” he said.

‘Responsible position’
“I am saying it with responsibility and I have a responsible position, I know each word I say would make headlines in the international press,” he said, stressing the reliability of his claim.

Mr. Qureshi said the planned aggression was aimed at “increasing diplomatic pressure against Pakistan.”

India struck the biggest training camp of the terror group, Jaish-e-Muhammed, deep inside Pakistan on February 26 nearly two weeks after the Pulwama terror attack in which 40 CRPF personnel were killed.

On February 27, the Pakistan Air Force retaliated and downed a MiG-21 in an aerial combat and captured an IAF pilot, who was handed over to India on March 1.

What is Pakistan waiting for then? Get your tea bags ready we are coming.

 

[Syed1]

I would have thought this was typical siasi statement by an old school politician but calling the ambassador and registering protest signifies that there is more to it than what meets the eye. Quite pathetic from Modi's India to still be war mongering after the situation had supposedly deescalated. I wonder why Indian armed forces do not have a problem with being used by Modi for this electioneering. Seems like the life of a common soldier/pilot is worthless in this chaiwala's eyes. If India thinks it will attack and not face any casualties on its side then it is deeply mistaken.



One thing to note, ISI is well and truly the best spy agency in the world, atleast when it comes to India. We have known their next moves weeks before they have executed them. ISI was lagging behind when it came to the Taliban and hence we literally saw a suicide attack-a-day back in 2008-2013 era, but then ISI got its act together and infiltrated the Taliban thus getting inside info even before plans got to the execution stage and now there is no trace of the Taliban.

 

[Realromeo]

interesting Pakistan's Foreign Minister has insight into secret Indian military briefing that even special forces aren't told about till last minute. And posters are here actually believing this ? No wonder South Asia is still a cesspit.

 

[Angrez Pakistani]

It’s like the whole country is being on ‘wag the dog’ loop for the past 70 odd years.

 

[Bilal_103]

Its actually smart on Pakistan's end. If India were planning something they wont do it now because its already out.

 

[IAJ]

Shah Sahib should have given timeline of a couple of years, dou saal sakoon sey guzr jate awaam key.

Lots of movement in Sialkot. Massive no go areas
They’re clearly tracking Indian army movement.

 

[sjahmed23]

Could this be to divert attention from IMF negoiations happening this week?

 

[gazza619]

Strange events. Dont know what to make of this.

I would have prefered a bolder statement by FM by adding we will retaliate 10 times more or something in response...

 

[PakLFC]

Ik is no Quaid Jinnah let me make that very clear. As for another Indian attack they will only face more humiliation, Pak is ready!

 

[Pete Rose]

Nothing gets down without ‘consulting’ the GHQ. So we have to put some stock in what the fm is saying, whether its real or more a pre-emptive measure for retaliation. What a doofus this Jamadar in India is: can’t win on anything other than hatred be it domestic or external

 

[BaankeJi]

False statement.

 

[Loralai]

Shah Mahmood is one of the most incompetent ministers in Pakistan (and that is a big statement). I really hope this comedian gets the boot but because of his influence in South Punjab he will continue to exploit vulnerable people for the sake of his political ambitions.

In the mean time, it would be good if he decided he would never open his mouth again. IK please sack this international embarrassment.

 

[cricketjoshila]

If India was planning to attack, a demarche or a press statement will stop that? Lol no.

It may delay or pre pone the attack.

This is either a tactic to divert the attention from the poir economic conditions at home or its a ploy to get others to stop the LoC actions that are going on.

 

[Bigbb]

The reason why Modi did all the drama at the border was to win the upcoming elections by gaining the right wing votes.

And now this public statement by the FM is just playing into the his hands. This way , the Indians think that Modi is really trying to hurt Pakistan and their external hate for Pakistan gets triggered and they'll side with Modi.

Or Maybe IK really wants Modi to come to power again.

why? he has done a stirling job and has called out those that need calling out. This statement was right on the money. To ensure that the international community who are heavily invested in their new attack dog next door are given a clear message. That any misadventure from next door including state sponsored terror attacks will be met with a response in line with UN authorised self defence protocols.

He has also been very active in giving out a message across western media agencies and formed a key part of our successful response to the aggression from next door..

which areas do you feel he has not done well in?

it allows us to get ahead of the game when it comes to messaging. By clearly calling this out, if India does decide to do anything , pakistan can retaliate citing self defence and use this statement to say "see we told you they were gonna do something and thus are in our rights to deliver a response that is twice as deadly as the one we have faced" it allows us to retain the "escalating ladder" as ISPR put it..

I have to agree with you.

This government is doing a great job by changing the narrative. In the past it was always Pakistan the aggressor, the ones who harboured the terrorists and the rogue nation etc etc etc...

The narrative has turned 180 degrees now.

 

[Stewie]

Looks like the Pakistanis really want Modi to win! Haha.. a guy like him leading India for another five years is exactly what Pakistanis would want!

 

[the Great Khan]

yup..he is good for Pakistan. Because he is a racist fascist and Pakistan can easily contrast itself against him. On the other hand he is the only one who can strike a long term peace deal with Pakistan.

 

[Technics 1210]

In an ironic way, this is true. Modi PM actually can be seen as an advantage to Pakistan - the biggest religious terrorist is PM next door narrative can do wonders in the future as it already has in the present! To top this off, the plight and suffering of non-Hindus in India will further add to the demise of the global perception of India.

 

[MosheD]

Bizarre to be complaining about something that hasn't happened and with such precise dates, maybe they should be thinking stuff through before speaking or tweeting.

And does it really matter lol - attack or no-attack, Pakistan has the greatest weapon of all = Denial.

But do feel sorry for the combatants who risk their lives serving Pakistan only to get unceremoniously brushed under the carpet when they get killed or shot down, all for some weird 'we are better than India' chest-thump that is infact masking a rather deep inferiority complex by the looks of it.

It's funny a low life Indian is talking about denial. Atleast have the decency to put the right flag small man.


And you talk about denial:

1. India misses targets and hits trees - India denies
2. Indian plane shot down and pilot captured - India denies initially
3. India shot down its own helicopter - India denies
4. US refuted India's claim of shooting down F16 - India denies




So lets not even talk about denial little man.

Prayers for peace in that region.
