The Inter-Services Public Relations Director General Lt-Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry and Information Minister Attaullah Tarar led the briefing, assuring the nation of military preparedness against Indian threats.
The briefing, held behind closed doors as reported by Dawn newspaper, saw participation from notable figures such as PPP leaders Raja Pervez Ashraf and Qamar Zaman Kaira, PML-N representatives, and others. The backdrop to these discussions emerged from deteriorating relations post the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, resulting in India implementing strict measures like suspending the Indus Waters Treaty and trade restrictions.
