A year on, India has failed to substantiate allegations against Pakistan over Pahalgam attack: info minister
Information Minister Attaullah Tarar on Wednesday said that even a year on, India has failed to provide evidence for its allegations against Pakistan over the Pahalgam attack.
The April 22, 2025 attack in Pahalgam saw 26 people, mostly tourists, killed in what is being described as the deadliest armed attack in the disputed Himalayan region since the year 2000. Responsibility for the attack was allegedly claimed by the hitherto unknown The Resistance Front (TRF).
In a televised statement issued on the incident’s anniversary, Tarar recalled India’s refusal to accept Pakistan’s offer for a neutral and transparent investigation into the Pahalgam attack.
“To this day, India has not presented any solid evidence or proof regarding the Pahalgam incident, nor has it offered satisfactory explanations,” he said.
“The false flag operation in Pahalgam reflects a mindset that is hollow — driven by false pride, arrogance and greed,” he contended.
“India’s issue is that it presents its internal matters as external ones and its external matters as internal. A clear example of this is terrorism,” Tarar said.
He added, “Terrorism is India’s internal issue, yet it portrays it as an external problem. Similarly, the Kashmir issue is an international issue but India presents it as an internal one.”
