Islamabad: Pakistan on Wednesday said that India has not presented “any solid evidence or proof” linking Islamabad to the Pahalgam terrorist attack.
The statement comes on the first anniversary of the attack in which 26 people were killed when gunmen belonging to Pakistan-based terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba opened fire on tourists in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir on April 22, 2025.
Following the attack, India launched Operation Sindoor targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The two countries were subsequently engaged in a brief conflict.
“To this day, India has not presented any solid evidence or proof regarding the Pahalgam incident, nor has it offered satisfactory explanations,” Pakistan’s Information Minister Attaullah Tarar said in a televised statement.
He alleged that “without evidence, without investigation and without proper inquiry, the blame was immediately placed on Pakistan,” calling it “baseless and fabricated propaganda.”
Tarar also warned that “any misadventure of any kind will be met with a firm, decisive and swift response.”
