LIVE: Ex-Pak Envoy Makes Provocative Remarks, says "If US Attacks Pakistan, We Will Target India"

Former Pakistan’s High Commissioner to India, Abdul Basit, has sparked controversy with remarks suggesting Islamabad could target Indian cities in a hypothetical conflict scenario. Speaking during a discussion on a potential war scenario, Basit said that if the US were to attack Pakistan, Islamabad might respond by striking New Delhi and Mumbai. He described the situation as a “worst-case scenario,” but his comments have drawn sharp reactions online. Basit made the remarks in response to concerns raised in the US Annual Threat Assessment, where American intelligence officials flagged Pakistan’s long-range ballistic missile programme as a potential risk.
The comments come at a time of already strained ties between India and Pakistan, with New Delhi maintaining that “terror and talks cannot go hand in hand.”
Tensions escalated further after the Operation Sindoor on May 7, 2025, when India targeted terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) following the Pahalgam terror attack. The April 22 attack, carried out by Pakistan-based terrorists, killed 26 civilians in Jammu and Kashmir.
