In the wake of the April 22, 2025, terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif expressed deep concern about escalating tensions with India. During a media briefing on April 30, Asif broke down in tears, saying, “God save us from war with India.” He warned of the increasing risk of conflict, following the death of 26 Indian tourists in the attack, which India blamed on Pakistan-based groups. Asif urged for peace but emphasized that Pakistan would retaliate if provoked. The comments reflect growing fears of war between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. (PC: AFP)
