Pakistan Army’s spokesperson Lt General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry has said that if Indian attacked again, Pakistan’s response would be tougher.
The Director General of Inter Service Public Relations (ISPR) was speaking to over 2,500 students from different universities of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), who held a special sitting with him on Sunday.
Calling the people of Afghanistan brothers, General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry accused the ‘Afghan gentry’ of giving refuge to terrorists in lieu of money received from the Indian government.
He urged Afghanistan not to play into the hands of India. The DG ISPR said the time had come for Kashmir’s independence.
He further said that India was under the impression that Pakistan might not defend itself, as there existed a gulf between its people and the armed forces. “But the nation, by standing with their armed forces, proved the enemy wrong,” he said, and added, “This was a strategic miscalculation on the part of India.”
Pakistanis, he went on to say, had always been like this and would remain so.
Lt Gen Chaudhry made it clear to India that if it attacked Pakistan again, the latter’s response would be even tougher.
“We decided to attack 26 sites in India,” the DG said, adding that the Pakistan Air Force destroyed those air bases from where the Indian Air Force’s jets flew to kill innocent Pakistani men, women, and children.
“Likewise, we destroyed the brigade headquarters on whose orders shells were dropped on Muzaffarabad and which had resulted in the martyrdom of a seven-year-old Irtaza.”
Carrying national flags in their hands, the students shouted slogans of ‘Pakistan hamesha zindabad’ and ‘Kashmir bane ga Pakistan.’
