Defense Minister Khawaja Asif, on Friday to the National Assembly that the recent drones attacks of India were destined for recognition instead of immediate attacks.
Speaking on the floor of the National Assembly, Khawaja Asif said that Indian drones were allowed to enter a “safe limit” before intercepting and neutralizing them to avoid compromising sensitive locations.
He assured the legislators that the armed forces were fully prepared to respond to any escalation. “No one should doubt that our armed forces are completely committed to responding to Indian aggression,” he said. “We are 200 percent prepared for any situation,” added the Minister of Defense, pointing out a high moral within the Army.
In addition, he said that nations like China, Turkiye and Azerbaijan had expressed a clear support for Pakistan.
Asif also said that the Government is dedicated to daily diplomatic contacts with countries such as Iran, the EAU, Saudi Arabia, China and Qatar, in efforts to unwish the situation.
