Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar has alleged that he has been receiving threatening phone calls and messages from Indian sources following his press conference regarding the Pahalgam incident.
In an exclusive interview with senior anchorperson Farrukh Shahbaz Warraich on Aik News program “Jawab Do”, Tarar stated that there is no Pakistani involvement in the Pahalgam incident. “Pakistan has absolutely no connection to the incident; even remotely,” he said, adding that the Pakistan Army remains fully prepared to defend the nation at all times.
Tarar mentioned that his timely press conference, which was based on confidential reports, may have prevented a false flag operation by India. “Had I not held the press conference that night, India might have taken a step and put the blame on Pakistan just hours later,” he added.
The minister also said that Pakistan’s response – including online reactions and memes – had left Indian media and authorities rattled. “Our meme game has them confused. They’re threatening war, and we’re responding with humor. That’s the strength of our nation.”
He further remarked, “After my press conference, India started targeting me personally through messages and calls on my phone. They’ve been trying to intimidate me, but we are not afraid.”
Tarar also took a jibe at Indian television, calling it a source of entertainment. “We’re getting free content,” he said. “For India, I have only three words: We. Damn. Care.”
