Pakistan military warns India against war

Rawalpindi: Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Major General Asif Ghafoor on Thursday while responding to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s statement said that if war is imposed, Pakistan Army will respond with “full force”.

Talking to media in Rawalpindi on Thursday, ISPR DG Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor said that the Indian government and military leadership s statements are irresponsible, adding that Pakistan Army and people will surprise you. “India will start the war but Pakistan will end it,” he said.

He asked when New Delhi couldn’t defeat 8 million innocent Kashmiris how could it defeat 207 million Pakistanis. “Pakistan has fought a war against terrorism for past two decades,” he said.

Regarding media, Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor said that media has played a vital role in Pakistan army s success, adding that media has won the hearts of the armed forces and heirs of those martyred in the war against terror.

He said: “The defence reporters have worked alongside the armed forces, adding that the defence reporters were his basic team.” “They strengthened the spirit of Pakistan’s armed forces with their responsible reporting,” he said.

The DG ISPR went on to say that it is an honour for him, if Indians are happy with his transfer from the ISPR.
