India Responds To Pakistan's 'War Mongering'; Warns Of 'Painful Consequences' In Case Of Misadventure

India on Thursday responded to Pakistan’s rhetoric, warning Islamabad of painful consequences in case of any misadventure. Responding to media questions, Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal indirectly reminded Pakistan of ‘Operation Sindoor’ and advised the neighbouring country to temper its anti-India rhetoric. Pakistani leaders and their Army Chief Asim Munir have threatened India of war over issues like Indus Water Treaty. Munir has even went a step ahead warning to nuke half-of-the world if faced with existential crisis.

India Warns Pakistan

The MEA, during its weekly media briefing, warned Pakistan to control its rhetoric against India. “We have seen reports regarding a continuing pattern of reckless, war-mongering and hateful comments from Pakistani leadership against India. It is a well-known modus operandi of the Pakistani leadership to whip up anti-India rhetoric time and again to hide their own failures. Pakistan would be well-advised to temper its rhetoric, as any misadventure will have painful consequences, as was demonstrated recently,” said Jaiswal.

Reaction To Pak Bluffs

India’s reaction came days after Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Army Chief Asim Munir and PPP leader Bilawal Bhutto issued threats to India. While Munir threatened to nuke India and attack any dam on the Chenab with missiles, Bhutto warned New Delhi of war over the Indus Water treaty. Sharif also said that Pakistan will ‘teach India a lesson’ if the Indus water flow is disrupted.

Operation Sindoor Reminder

While Pakistani leaders and the army may be trying to please their domestic audiences with nuke/war bluffs, India was quick to remind them of Operation Sindoor. Launched to avenge the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, India targeted nine terror sites across Pakistan and occupied Kashmir on May 6-7. This led to a four-day military conflict between the two nuclear-armed nations during which India bombed 11 Pakistani airbases and several military installations, making Islamabad beg for a ceasefire.

PM Modi On Pakistan’s Nuclear Blackmail

Addressing the nation after Operation Sindoor, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had made it clear that India won’t bow down to nuclear blackmail. “First, If there is a terrorist attack on India, a fitting reply will be given. We will give a befitting response on our terms only. We will take strict action at every place from where the roots of terrorism emerge. Secondly, India will not tolerate any nuclear blackmail. India will strike precisely and decisively at the terrorist hideouts developing under the cover of nuclear blackmail. Thirdly, we will not differentiate between the government sponsoring terrorism and the masterminds of terrorism,” said PM Modi.
