KARACHI, Apr 30: Imran Khan said Pakistan "has got all the capabilities to give a befitting response to any Indian misadventure".
Jailed former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan has described the Pahalgam terror attack as "deeply disturbing and tragic", but also warned India to act responsibly.
"Loss of human life in Pahalgam incident is deeply disturbing and tragic. I extend my deepest condolences to the victims and their families," Imran Khan said on his X handle on Tuesday.
"When the False Flag Palwama Operation incident happened, we offered to extend all-out cooperation to India but India failed to produce any concrete evidence. As I predicted in 2019, the same is happening again after Pahalgam incident. Instead of introspection and investigation, Modi Sarkar is again placing the blame on Pakistan," the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief said, adding that being a country of 1.5 billion people, India needs to act responsibly instead of messing with a region already known as "nuclear flashpoint".
"Peace is our priority but it should not be mistaken as cowardice. Pakistan has got all the capabilities to give a befitting response to any Indian misadventure, as my government, backed by whole nation, did in 2019. I have always emphasised the importance of the Kashmiris' right to self-determination, as guaranteed by United Nations resolutions," Imran Khan, who has been in jail since August 2023 in multiple cases, said. �"HT
