New Delhi, April 30 -- Pakistan's Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said on Tuesday that Pakistan will not strike India first but reserves the right to retaliate. While speaking in the Senate on the recent tensions with India, Dar warned "there'll be tit-for-tat" in case India resorts to any "escalatory move".

"Eent ka jawab, paththar se diya jayega," Ishaq Dar was heard saying in a video shared by Pakistan-based ARY news.

Ishaq Dar also mentioned that there are "intel reports" that indicate that India is considering any "escalatory move". His statement came as tensions between India and Pakistan escalated following a terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, on April 22.
