Rawalpindi: Military spokesperson Major General Asif Ghafoor has said Pakistan Armed forces will befittingly respond to Indian intrusion and now India should wait for our surprise respond which will be totally different.
Addressing a press conference to inform the nation about the Indian intrusion, Director General Inter Services Public Relations (DG ISPR) rejected Indian claims of killing over 200 militants.
Major General Asif Ghafoor said Prime Minister Imran Khan has asked the armed forces, elements of national power and the nation to get ready for any eventuality.
DG ISPR said “Now it’s our time to respond. The response will come at the time and place of our choosing.”
He added Indian should wait for our response, we will respond surprisingly and differently.
Pakistani response will be in all domains, said the DG ISPR.
He went on to say, India did not give us any surprise as Pakistan military was prepared and PAF thwarted the Indian incursion befittingly.
DG ISPR also rejected Indian media claims of remaining in Pakistani airspace for 21 minutes and dared India for remaining in Pakistani airspace for 21 minutes.
Answering a question he said that the civil and the military leadership was awake at the time of intrusion by the Indian jets and immediately restored mutual contact to share the developments taking place at the LOC in the wee hours.
“The Prime Minister, Services Chiefs and I myself were awake and contacts were immediately restored to share the latest happenings with each other.”
He said a multi-pronged strategy will be the part of Pakistan’s response to Indian false claims for inflicting heavy casualty across the LOC and the Indian lies would be exposed before the world forums.
He said that about four IAF jets remained across LOC for about 5 to 6 minutes and they sped away following timely response by the Pakistan Air Force (PAF).
On their way back they jettisoned the payload they had brought along to presumably hit targets.
They could hardly intrude about 4 nautical miles.
Dispelling the impression that IAF aircraft had intruded to about 50 to 60 miles inside the territory, he said the impression might had been created in the minds as the payload had dropped at a distant place.
He showed photographs of huge craters caused in the abandoned area which was the part of a forest due to the release of heavy payload.
