The committee reviewed these developments and assessed countermeasures in response. Special emphasis was placed on “false flag operation” in Pahalgam, used by India to justify its aggressive actions.
The NSC “unanimously rejected” India’s accusations against Pakistan and approved a strategy to address the situation. It resolved to raise the issue of India’s treaty violations at prominent international platforms, emphasizing Pakistan’s non-acceptance of any form of aggression. The committee also reaffirmed its commitment to delivering a firm and proportionate response to any potential misadventures.
The meeting highlighted Pakistan’s confidence in the preparedness and capabilities of its armed forces to defend the country. Attendees included senior officials such as the Deputy Prime Minister, key federal ministers, military chiefs, intelligence officials, and advisors. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also been actively consulting on diplomatic responses to India’s actions.
