🇵🇰 Ex-President Alvi Raises Alarm Over Potential Indian Retaliation Following Kashmir Attack

April 24, 2025 | Location: Islamabad, Pakistan

In the aftermath of the tragic attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, which claimed the lives of 26 tourists, former Pakistan President Arif Alvi has voiced apprehensions about India’s possible aggressive response.​

During a recent media interaction, Alvi stated, “India’s patience may be wearing thin. We must be cautious and avoid actions that could be perceived as provocations.” His remarks come amid India’s strong reaction to the attack, which includes downgrading diplomatic ties and suspending the Indus Waters Treaty with Pakistan.​

The attack, claimed by the “Kashmir Resistance” group, has intensified scrutiny over Pakistan’s alleged support for cross-border militancy. India’s swift measures, such as closing the only land border crossing and expelling Pakistani defense advisors, underscore the gravity of the situation.​

Alvi’s comments have sparked debate within Pakistan, with some viewing them as a call for introspection, while others criticize them as conceding to external pressure. The Pakistani government has convened a National Security Committee meeting to address the escalating tensions.​

As both nations navigate this precarious period, the international community watches closely, hoping for restraint and a return to diplomatic dialogue.​
