Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar and DG ISPR Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said that India’s drones targeted civilian areas and tried to hit military sites, calling it a serious act of provocation.
During an important press conference, the deputy prime minister, along with DG ISPR, said that Pakistan has the right to respond under Article 51 of the UN Charter, which allows a country to defend itself. He warned that if India tries anything again, it will face serious consequences.
DG ISPR Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry also rejected India’s claims that Pakistan attacked 15 locations in India, saying the accusations are completely false. He said India is making up fake evidence to defend its own military actions against Pakistan. He pointed out that the images India shared as proof of Pakistani missiles are not convincing. He said those images show no damage, not even burned grass, which is unrealistic if real missiles were involved.
General Chaudhry also questioned India’s statement that it stopped 15 Pakistani projectiles. He asked why India couldn’t stop its own five jets from being shot down by the Pakistan Air Force. He mentioned that the Pakistan Air Force brought down five Indian aircraft—three Rafale jets, one MiG-29, and one SU-30.
He warned that Pakistan will respond at a time and place of its choosing, and when it does, it will be clear to everyone. He said the Indian media won’t need to twist the story, because the whole world will see Pakistan’s response clearly.
