Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar has categorically stated that Pakistan will surely deliver a befitting and strong response to the cowardly Indian aggression carried out in the darkness of night.

Speaking on a motion in the National Assembly today (Thursday), he mentioned that the National Security Committee has authorized the armed forces to respond at a time and place of their own choosing.

The Information Minister said that India had a great pride in its superior technology Rafale jets, but our Air Force deserves appreciation for bringing that pride to dust. He said this also manifests Pakistan’s superiority in conventional warfare.

Attaullah Tarar said Pakistan has also shot down twenty five Indian drones through hard and soft hits.

He mentioned that Pakistan has inflicted heavy losses on Indian forces along the line of control. Their forty to fifty soldiers have also been killed.  He said the country's defence is in strong and safe hands and the armed forces are fully prepared.  

The Information Minister said the entire nation stands with the armed forces of Pakistan to respond to the Indian aggression.

Tahir Iqbal highlighted the persecution of minorities especially Muslims, Sikhs and Christians in India. He said Modi is pursuing Hindutva ideology.
