Former Pakistan Envoy Abdul Basit Threatens India: 'Bomb Mumbai & Delhi If America Attacks Us'
•Former Pakistan High Commissioner to India, Abdul Basit, advocated for military strikes against Indian cities as retaliation for Western intervention.
•Basit, who served in New Delhi from 2014-2017, framed India as the 'default' target in a hypothetical conflict involving the US and Israel.
•His remarks, captured in a viral clip, suggest targeting Indian metropolises like Mumbai and New Delhi, invoking trauma of past terror attacks.
•Intelligence sources believe Basit's statements reflect a 'tutored' narrative from the Pakistani security establishment, not 'off-the-cuff' remarks.
•Basit's 'only route' for retaliation doctrine exposes a dangerous strategy, linking India to broader Western military actions and signaling radicalization within Pakistan's power structure.
