This is an American threat more than a Pakistani threat. They are preparing Indian minds to accept that there will be a blowback and they are also sub-consciously giving a preemptive clean chit to Pakistan by making it look like an 'inevitable blowback'. It allows the US to make India look like the aggressor which is getting a blowback.
They did this last year too when they planted news saying that CIA has found an ISIS plan written on a piece of paper which said that ISIS was going to attack India. Do they really think we are that stupid? first of all ISIS is nothing but the Muslim wing of CIA, secondly, they don't write plans on a paper and throw it on the road, and thirdly, if this bullshit story was even true, they could have handed that paper over to RAW and finished the story instead of planting it in the media.
I've noticed this pattern of US threats. They even did this with Russia. John Kerry said "Russia may be attacked by jihadists", which is a veiled way of saying "we will use our Muslim commandos to hit you".
When I was small we had a fat kid who used to let out the air from our cycle wheels. When asked, he used to say "remember that ghost from ScoobyDoo with orange hair and blue boots? I saw him take out the air from your cycle". Next day 'someone' removed the air from his cycle and he came knocking on my door "why did you remove air from my cycle?", I simply told him : remember that orange haired guy? the same guy removed air from your cycle. Now this fat kid was caught in a dilemma, he could not deny the existence of such an imaginary creature which was a figment of his own creative thinking, because if he denied it then all his past crimes would be come to the fore in front of all other kids, so he accepted it and went away. Not a single cycle was deflated from that day onwards.
Same is the case with Murica. If they tell you "the boogie man is going to attack you", a bomb must go off in the middle of Times Square and we must immediately issue a statement "The people of India stand in solidarity with the people of US, I guess the boogieman changed his plans at the last moment, you have our condolences".
Do they think we are retarded? If it was a real piece of intel, they could have shared it through secure encrypted channels, and not broadcast it on the news. It's undoubtedly a threat. They are preparing our population for a terror attack and even subliminally blaming our government's actions for that 'well deserved blowback'.
Alright then, let it happen, everyone will see how we respond. This cheap thug nation which is barely 200 years old cannot get away with bullying a 6 thousand year old civilization. We have our own tricks up our sleeve.
@Krusty here's the citation for that bullshit "ISIS plans to attack India" drama the CIA tried to pull off in 2015 :

The plan then was to use CIA assets to hit India, and then Obama would have shed crocodile tears over the death of Indians and promise to stand by the people of India. It was their shortcut to using an emotional event to pull India into their alliance after all negotiations failed to break India's doctrine of strategic autonomy.
