Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Friday said he had credible information that India was planning a surgical strike against Pakistan to divert attention from its internal affairs and that it was trying to seek "tacit approval" for the move from its "partners".

The foreign minister made this statement at a press conference in Abu Dhabi, where he is ending a two-day visit during which he held meetings with the top brass of the Emirati leadership.

At the presser, Qureshi summed up his engagements with the UAE leadership over the last two days but also touched on the designs of India, which he said were "picked up by intelligence".

"An important development has cropped up [...] I've learned through our intelligence forces [...] that India is planning a surgical strike against Pakistan," said Qureshi.

Terming it a "serious development" he further elaborated that India is already "trying to seek tacit approval" from what Qureshi said were "important players who they consider to be their partners".

The minister said in his opinion this operation was being planned so India could divert attention from "serious internal issues" and as a means to unify divisions in the country.

Qureshi noted that Pakistan had revealed “India sponsoring terrorism in Pakistan” through a dossier that it shared with the international community.

He also mentioned the recent report by the EU DisinfoLab which exposed an Indian disinformation network of “fake websites and fake NGOs that they had launched with a sole objective to malign Pakistan”.

Elaborating on the “serious internal issues” facing India at the moment, Qureshi said the situation in Indian occupied Kashmir “was never good but has deteriorated further”.

The ongoing farmers’ protests in Punjab, Qureshi said, was a “country-wide protest” resulting from “the policies of this regime, the BJP regime”. He said the protest was growing, with various segments of India such as “opposition parties, lawyers, civil society and trade unions” expressing their support for it.

“The mishandling of the coronavirus by Indian authorities is known to everyone. The impact that it is having on their economy is known to all.”

The situation of the minorities in India, the foreign minister said, was also “increasingly uncomfortable”, referring to the protests in Assam and the situation of Dalits, Sikhs and Muslims.

Qureshi said “Pakistan is fully prepared to respond to and defeat India's designs.”

“We will do it […] as we did respond immediately and effectively in February 2019,” he warned.

The foreign minister said this information, of an imminent strike against Pakistan, had been shared with relevant capitals, who had been apprised of India’s plans and Pakistan’s willingness to respond.

He said any “misadventure” could seriously undermine and set back the Afghan peace process and “India will be held responsible for this.”

“I warn my eastern neighbour, we are aware of their mindset and we are aware of their designs […] and Pakistan will respond.”

Visas issue
Apprising the room on developments during his two-day visit to the UAE, Qureshi said he had “good meetings” with Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai's ruler, and that they discussed not only bilateral relations but also “opportunities […] for trade and investment”.

He thanked the ruler of Dubai for his support and the support that UAE had provided to Pakistan over the years during difficult times, calling the two countries “destined strategic partners”.

The foreign minister said he would be meeting with the head of UAE intelligence after the media briefing where he would take up the visas issue with him.

Weeks earlier, the UAE included Pakistan among the 12 countries for whose nationals it had suspended issuing visit visas. The move had raised eyebrows as it was not immediately clear why the measure had been applied to Pakistan. The Foreign Office had at the time said it was seeking more clarity from Emirati authorities but that it appeared to be a coronavirus related move.

Days after the suspension of visas, a report published by Reuters said the move was implemented due to "security concerns" without elaborating on what those concerns were.

Qureshi ended the briefing by reaffirming the contributions Pakistan has made in the “progress and development of UAE” and hoped to resolve the few issues that remain.

Army on high alert
Qureshi's stern remarks against India while on a trip to UAE come on the heels of an already tense atmosphere.

Informed sources told Dawn earlier this month that the Pakistan Army had been put on high alert amidst a possible threat of another attempt by India to conduct a surgical strike inside Pakistani territory.

They said that after facing a humiliating defeat in Ladakh and Doklam, India was preparing to launch another attack on the Line of Control (LoC) and across the Working Boundary at Pulwama, posing a threat to the regional peace and stability.

An official said a “false flag operation” was being planned by India to divert the world’s attention from several of its internal issues, including the ongoing farmers’ protest, its treatment of minorities, atrocities committed by Indian forces in occupied Kashmir and criticism of its policies by international institutions and media.

“India may at any time repeat a Pulwama-like drama to divert attention from the internal problems and was planning an action along the LoC and Working Boundary,” he said.

In 2016, India had claimed to have carried out a surgical strike on the LoC, a claim rubbished by Pakistan. Similarly, on Feb 26 last year, India had tried to launch a similar operation against Pakistan but failed and two of its planes had been shot down by Pakistan Air Force. Indian pilot Wing Commander Abhinandan was arrested and later released.

The decision to put the army on high alert comes days after the Indian government approved the creation of a new post of deputy chief of strategy at the army headquarters as per a plan envisaged during the Doklam crisis with China in 2017, besides creating the position of director general information warfare who will also be dealing with media affairs.

I don't know if you are taking meaning wrongly as such. Attempt doesn't mean Indian succeeded and given the numbers of attempts for so-called surgical strikes; India has been trying since cold start doctrine.

I think India will not use the airforce this time. Most probably a fire raid on Pakistani posts on LOC or some naval inceruion.

Foggy weather on land could be their favourable shot given the so much hyped Rafale. Navy seems to be no go except of a stunt and propaganda through media.

One thing is clear that India has seen the treatment and response, therefore, Pakistanis will have to have a bigger heart and patience since there's a barrage of fake news, propaganda & tall claims on the way since Modi is more of a media stunt type and BJP lives on the same since their take over in India. Most of Indian population believes in Media/News therefore, whether Indian Military try to pull such an offensive or not but at-least many of Bollywood type stories will be shared and even officials will be awarded with medals. Another dream-world episode is just about to happen contrary to real face off.

Crying wolf...

I still remember vividly Indians trying to be smart asses back in Feb 2019. Indian trolls were littering Twitter with their mocking remarks after their botches strike AND THEN came 27 feb. They all went silent. So remember you have a history of laughing before anything real starts ! Be wise this time or you'll be caught pants down again.

I think we have warned enough time the world and next time let them try it and be prepared and hit them back hard what they deserve. Since PTI came into power and we got this FM, we keep on mentioning like we are scared as in starting a war India have got more to loose then us. World is preoccupied with other things and as regard to India they are looking the other way so world deserve a slap across the face too so they must start looking at the right way.

Here is what i think.

As per history after getting stalemated in 1965 Indian armed forces attacked the East Pakistan ...why? because it was week ..why is this relevant today?

I believe Indians have decided Land war or skirmish is not feasible as they are in danger of diluting the strong point they have in Kashmir. so armoured ops are out of question.
then come the 2nd option...air power...since last time and whole situation that developed i am pretty sure they are not to throw IAF underbus again...

So what they see...they see a week Pakistan Navy (That is there perception) and sea provides lot of cover to them (Again there perception) we have shown extreme reluctance last time (There perception is that it was our weakness in Naval area that we let the scorpion submarine go) ...so if they have better chance of carrying out surgical strike they can do so(Again there perception)

So i think its the coastal watars and arabian sea...meaning there tool will Indian Navy this time...

In terms of the verbiage used, it's very similar to ISPR statements. In that short clip, the FM did specifically mention action across the LOC and WB, not naval activity. However, your posts and events over the last week, clearly point to a naval misadventure.

Pakistan is not an aggressive nation or people. Pakistanis will ignore such warnings until reality hits home.
