Khawaja Asif (Pakistan's Defence Minister) has issued a stern warning to India, stating that Pakistan would respond 'swiftly, calibrated, and decisively' to any military aggression. His comments come after India's Defence Minister Rajnath Singh referred to the April 2025 Pahalgam terror attack, which resulted in 26 fatalities. Singh claimed that India had effectively dismantled terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan following the attack and highlighted the rapid military success during 'Operation Sindoor,' where Indian forces allegedly incapacitated Pakistan within 22 minutes. Asif criticized Singh's statements as a reflection of India's 'strategic anxiety' and part of a pattern of behavior aimed at provoking tensions. He cautioned that any miscalculation could have serious consequences, and Pakistan's response would be even more forceful if confronted again. The Pahalgam attack has led to ongoing strained relations between the two nuclear-armed neighbors, marked by strong rhetoric and military posturing.
