PM all praise for armed forces over befitting response to India

Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif has lauded the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) and its chief for their swift and immediate response to Indian aggression, stating that the armed forces had prior intelligence about India’s hostile plans.

 

“Last night, 80 Indian aircraft were part of the offensive, but Pakistan’s air defence effectively neutralised the threat,” he said while addressing the National Assembly session today (Wednesday).

 

“We shot down five enemy jets, including Rafales, and also downed two Indian drones,” he added. “Our enemies were unable to sleep last night, and our friends have realised that they can turn to Pakistan for help in difficult times. There is nothing more honourable for Pakistan than this,” he added.

 

PM Shehbaz praised the Pakistani armed forces for giving a “strong and befitting” response to India’s aggression, condemning the “enemy” for launching the attack under the cover of darkness.

 

He said that India shifted the entire blame of the April 22 Pahalgam attack, which claimed 26 lives in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), on Pakistan without any evidence. “They tried to convince the entire world that, God forbid, Pakistan was involved in the incident,” the premier said.

 

The prime minister also highlighted alleged links between India and terrorist organisations such as the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).

 

Criticising India’s silence on the Jaffer Express attack, he said New Delhi failed to even condemn the terrorist incident. “Instead of showing empathy, the tragedy was mocked in India,” he added.

 

Praying for the high ranks of the civilians killed in Indian airstrikes on Punjab and Azad Jammu and Kashmir last night, PM Shehbaz lamented that the “martyred” included not only women and men but also children.
