Azad Jammu and Kashmir Prime Minister Chaudhry Anwarul Haq warned India against any attempt at cross-border aggression, asserting that Pakistan is prepared to deliver a “decisive response” if provoked, Express News reported.
Speaking in the Azad Kashmir Legislative Assembly on Thursday, Haq said, “India does not have the courage to violate Pakistan’s borders. But if it does, a strong response awaits.”
He accused India of following the Chanakya doctrine—“a dagger in the cloak of diplomacy”—and claimed that India’s narrative on the recent Pahalgam incident had been “exposed as a fabrication.”
The prime minister also warned that India could use a third party to destabilise Azad Kashmir from within. “If India attempts such an adventure, it will receive a fitting reply,” he said.
Haq alleged that New Delhi’s water aggression has been ongoing for a year, and that its international footprint in terrorism is widely acknowledged. “From Canada to Kashmir, Modi’s India has adopted terrorism as a state policy and has been exposed on the world stage,” he added.
He defended the role of Pakistan’s armed forces and said the strength behind Azad Kashmir’s flag is Pakistan’s support. “The freedoms we enjoy in Azad Kashmir are absent in Indian-occupied Kashmir. I stand with our brothers and sisters across the Line of Control.”
Haq reaffirmed that any Indian violation along the LoC would entitle Pakistan to respond under the UN Charter. “India won’t dare,” he added.
Highlighting India’s alleged water encroachments, Haq claimed that actions have already begun to divert water from rivers Poonch and Neelum. “These are part of India’s broader designs against Pakistan,” he said.
“Pakistan is a nuclear power,” Haq stated. “No country, including India, has the courage to violate our borders. We are always ready to respond.”
