Iftikhar Thakur on India vs Pakistan After Pahalgam Terror Attack Latest news: The already fragile relationship between India and Pakistan has reached new heights of tension following a controversial statement by Pakistani actor Iftikhar Thakur. Speaking on the popular television talk show Gup Shab, Thakur issued an inflammatory message directed at India in the wake of the deadly Pahalgam terrorist attack that claimed 26 lives, most of them tourists.

Thakur’s remarks, which were widely broadcast, included a direct threat to India: "I want to give a serious message to India. If you'll come through air, you'll be bombed in air, if you will come by sea, you will be drowned in water, and if you'll come through ground, you will be buried under." The statement, which has sparked widespread outrage, was made in the context of rising tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors following the attack.

The Pahalgam incident, which occurred in Jammu and Kashmir and was attributed to terrorist groups operating from Pakistan, has led to calls for retribution from India. Prime Minister Narendra Modi made it clear that those responsible for the attack would "not be spared," vowing to take strong action. Many are now viewing Thakur’s statement as a dangerous escalation of the rhetoric surrounding the already volatile situation.

In India, the actor’s words have been met with harsh criticism, particularly due to his popularity in the Indian Punjabi film industry. Thakur was widely recognized and loved in Punjab for his contributions to Punjabi cinema, which makes his remarks all the more jarring for many Indian fans. Prominent Indian figures and media outlets have denounced the actor’s comments, calling them reckless and inflammatory.

Political experts are warning that such statements, especially from prominent public figures, could further destabilize the fragile peace between the two countries. Both governments have yet to officially comment on Thakur’s statement, but the international community remains concerned about the potential for an all-out conflict if tensions are not carefully managed.
