A statement issued in the name of The Resistance Front (TRF), which is believed to be an offshoot of the Pakistani-based Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility for the attack.

Meanwhile, Government of Pakistan’s account on ‘X’ has been withheld in India.  Protesters channted "Pakistan Haye Haye" at Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi.  The video of the man carrying the cake has evoked reactions across social media.

"A big cake, silence to media, and timing that chills the soul—if this wasn’t a celebration, why the secrecy? Shameful optics at the Pakistan High Commission.," stated one X user.

Another user said, "I want to buy or rent pakistan high commission since i am looking for a flat in Delhi."

Pakistan on Thursday is holding a high powered security huddle to formulate an appropriate response to India's move to suspend the Indus Water Treaty.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has summoned the National Security Committee meeting to discuss in detail India's “irresponsible actions” after what Pakistan called Pahalgam false flag operation.

Three services chiefs and important key ministers will attend the meeting, reported Radio Pakistan.

The National Security Committee will deliberate upon internal and external situations and “will review response to India's hastily taken, impulsive and impractical water measures,” Radio Pakistan added.

Pakistan daily Dawn reported that deputy prime minister Ishaq Dar, while speaking to a private television channel late on Wednesday, lashed out at India’s approach, calling it “immature” and “hasty”.

“India has not given any evidence. They have not shown any maturity in their response,” Dar said. “This is a non-serious approach. They started creating hype immediately after the incident.” Pakistan’s Foreign Office, in a separate statement earlier on Wednesday, expressed regret over the loss of life.
