Javed Sheikh warns India of strong response if attacked

Veteran Pakistani actor Javed Sheikh has voiced his reaction to recent statements by Indian officials following the Pahalgam incident in Indian-administered Kashmir, where India blamed Pakistan for the attack without presenting evidence.

India’s accusations came shortly after the incident, with officials issuing strong statements and warning of retaliatory action. In response, various public figures and citizens in Pakistan, including those from the entertainment industry, have spoken out.

In a video shared on social media, Javed Sheikh expressed solidarity with the country and criticized the rapid conclusions drawn by Indian authorities. “If India attacks without evidence, we will respond firmly,” he said.
