Pahalgam terror attack: After the terrorist attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan has been furious with India’s action and is continuously giving India a jackal. In a conversation with a news channel in Pakistan, former PAK High Commissioner Abdul Basit told when India will attack.

In an interview by Pakistan’s ABN News, Abdul Basit said, “I have no doubt that India will definitely take some action, because Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi announced in Bihar in the past that he will definitely take action.” He further said that if we look in the past, then in 2016, the case of Uri came to light. After that India created a drama of surgical strike.

‘If there is no water flowing in the river, bleeding will flow’
Abdul Basit said, “According to India’s media, his army officer and defense experts, India will do some attack.” Regarding the cancellation of the Indus Water Agreement from India, he said, ‘Pakistan is difficult to live without water. Due to lack of water, our lives will be in danger and if the water does not flow in the river, then the bleeding will flow.

‘When will India attack Pakistan’
On the question of the Pakistani anchor, Abdul Basit insisted, ‘India will take action. Whether it is today, tomorrow or a week later. We saw that India had taken action in 12 days after the Pulwama attack. After the Uri attack, we saw that India had allegedly carried out a surgical strike in 8-9 days. India’s record is clear that it takes action within 8-12 days.

He further said that if we look at this pattern, then on April 22, there was an attack in Pahalgam, then this time India can take action between 1-3 May or also in the first week. He further said that if India has taken any such action, then we are also fully ready. Pakistan will also retaliate strong.
