KARACHI - Pakistan on Wednesday (30/4) stressed that they are not the first to escalate tensions, but warned that the country would respond "very harshly" to any such escalation action by India.
Speaking at a news conference in Islamabad, Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said Pakistan's armed forces were "alertly alert" and "alert" to developments that occurred after the April 22 attacks on India's management of the dollar, which killed 26 people.
"The world leaders have asked the relevant parties to exercise restraint in recent days. I have explained very clearly, on behalf of the government and the state, that Pakistan will not be the first party to take an escalation action," said Dar.

"However, if an escalation action occurs by India, we will respond very firmly," he added.
Pakistan, he further said, had nothing to do with the Palaligam attack. "Title."
"The Pakistani has no relationship whatsoever ... and is also not a potential beneficiary," he added.
While condemning the unilateral suspension of the World Bank-sponsored water distribution agreement, the Indus Waters Agreement by New Delhi, Dar reiterated Islamabad's warning that any action to stop or divert Pakistan's water distribution would be treated as an "war act."
He accused New Delhi of using the latest attack as an excuse to "encourage the legitimate struggle for independence" in Jammu and kolenders, and to launch a "open Islamophobic sentiment" against residents of koordination, as quoted by Anadolu sources.
Palaligam's attack further worsened the tense relationship between Pakistan and India over the disputed Himalayan region.
