He stressed that Pakistan\u2019s response during the Pakistan\u2013India standoff was measured, responsible and in accordance with international law.<\/p>\n<p>Paying tribute to the professionalism and resolve of the Pakistan Armed Forces, he said their readiness and deterrent capability have decisively safeguarded national sovereignty and neutralised hostile designs in a volatile environment.<\/p>\n<p>The chairman recalled that Pakistan had immediately offered a neutral and transparent investigation into the Pahalgam incident, emphasizing that only a credible, evidence-based inquiry can establish facts and prevent further escalation. He warned that responsible states should not resort to unilateral judgment or politicisation of tragic events.<\/p>\n<p>He strongly condemned unilateral and adventurist actions, including Operation Sindoor, terming them reckless and destabilising and warning that such conduct threatens regional peace and the strategic balance. He also expressed serious concern over continued interference and support to hostile elements operating against Pakistan, describing these actions as direct violations of sovereignty and international norms.<\/p>\n<p>He cautioned against attempts to undermine the Indus Waters Treaty, noting that coercive measures amount to dangerous escalation and risk regional stability and resource security. Reaffirming Pakistan\u2019s commitment to peace, he stressed that Pakistan will respond firmly, proportionately and decisively to any aggression or adventurism and will continue to safeguard its sovereignty and national interests with full resolve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chairman Senate urges a transparent probe and vows firm response after the Pahalgam incident while praising the Pakistan Armed Forces&#8217; restraint and readiness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":18278,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[94],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18279","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pakistan"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18279","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18279"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18279\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18278"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18279"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18279"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18279"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
