Following the tragic Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed 26 lives, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has convened a National Security Committee (NSC) meeting to deliberate on the country’s response to India’s diplomatic measures. The attack, which targeted tourists in Jammu and Kashmir, has escalated tensions between the two nations, with India accusing Pakistan of cross-border terrorism.
India’s response has been swift and stern, including the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, the closure of the Attari-Wagah border, and the expulsion of Pakistani defense officials from New Delhi. These measures have prompted Pakistan to explore legal options, including the possibility of moving the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to challenge India’s actions.
Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar has publicly denied Pakistan’s involvement in the attack, calling India’s measures “hasty and immature”. He emphasized that India has not provided credible evidence linking Pakistan to the incident and criticized the suspension of the water-sharing treaty as a “political move”.
The NSC meeting, chaired by Shehbaz Sharif and attended by top civilian and military leaders, aims to formulate a comprehensive response to India’s actions. While Pakistan’s leadership has condemned the attack and expressed condolences for the victims, they have also warned against unilateral measures that could further destabilize the region.
As the situation unfolds, the possibility of Pakistan seeking international legal recourse remains uncertain. The diplomatic fallout continues to shape the geopolitical landscape, with both nations under intense scrutiny from the global community.
