Govt, military officials to brief political leaders today on rising Pak-India strains

Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar and Director General Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry will deliver a high-level briefing to leaders of all major political parties on Sunday.

According to an official statement issued by the Ministry of Information, the session will offer an in-depth overview of the prevailing national security environment, focusing on recent developments with India, Pakistan’s defence preparedness, diplomatic outreach, and the official stance of the state.

“This important background briefing reflects national solidarity and demonstrates a unified stance in the face of current regional challenges,” the statement read.

The move comes in the backdrop of escalating tension along the Line of Control (LoC), where both Pakistani and Indian forces are reported to be on high alert. While the exact nature of the Pahalgam incident remains undisclosed, it has triggered a wave of diplomatic and military activity in both countries.

The military’s media wing had earlier warned against any misadventure, with DG ISPR Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry stating during a joint press conference with Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar that “any initiative from India will be met with a befitting response.”

Today’s briefing is expected to cover comprehensive details of Pakistan’s security measures and ongoing diplomatic communications with international stakeholders. The presence of political leadership across party lines aims to foster consensus on matters of national interest and strategy.

Meanwhile, President Asif Ali Zardari has summoned a session of the National Assembly on Monday. Sources indicate that the Pakistan-India situation is likely to be a focal point of parliamentary debate.

Tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbours have periodically flared over recent years, with diplomatic ties remaining fragile. The current situation has reignited calls for restraint and dialogue from international observers.
