New Delhi: Amid escalating tensions between India and Pakistan over the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Pakistan’s Ambassador to Russia has threatened India by stating that Islamabad would use the “full spectrum of power”, including nuclear weapons, if New Delhi attacks it.
The envoy, Muhammad Khalid Jamali, made the statement during an interview with RT. He also claimed that some leaked documents revealed that India would strike certain areas of Pakistan. According to him, a conflict was “imminent.”
“The frenzy media of India and the irresponsible statements coming out from that side has compelled us. There are some other leaked documents whereby it has been decided to strike some areas of Pakistan. So, that makes us to feel that this is going to happen and it’s imminent,” he told in the interview.
“When it comes to India and Pakistan, we don’t want to get involved into this debate of numerical strength. We will use the full spectrum of power – both conventional and nuclear,” he said.

The envoy further claimed that the armed forces, “supported by the people of Pakistan”, would respond to India’s attack with “full spectrum of power”.
The tension both the countries escalated since Pakistan-backed terrorists attacked tourists in the Baisaran valley in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam on April 22. Earlier, Pakistan minister Hanif Abbasi had also openly threatened India with nuclear retaliation.
Ataullah Tarar, another Pakistan minister, on Wednesday claimed that his country had received “credible intelligence”, indicating India may carry out a military strike in 24 to 36 hours.
The X account of Tarar has been blocked in India. He had warned that any act of aggression would be met with a decisive response. He also claimed that Pakistan would hold India accountable for any serious consequences in the region.
His remarks came after Prime Minister Narendra Modi granted the Indian armed forces “complete operational freedom” to respond to the Pahalgam terror attack. At least 26 people were killed in the deadly attack.
