In the latest war of words between the two estranged nuclear-armed neighbours, Pakistan on Saturday warned India of 10 surgical strikes in response to a single such attack.
Major General Asif Ghafoor, the spokesperson of the military’s Inter-Services Public Relations, categorically stated that the surgical strike is a myth and India was running lies to discredit Pakistan. “We have the power to retaliate with 10 surgical strikes if a single adventure is carried out by our eastern neighbour. There should be no doubt about that,” he added.
Speaking to media in London, Major General Asif Ghafoor also asserted that the freedom movement of Kashmiris is indigenous and does not have external support. “Independence of Kashmir is in the DNA of Kashmiris, the movement for freedom is completely independent, India knows it well that there is no interference from Pakistan,” he added.
He said, “Kashmiris are fighting for the war of their survival and India knows Kashmiris are right and they will win and the struggle of Kashmiris will be won by Kahsmiris. They are freedom fighters and not terrorists, India has used every kind of power to suppress Kashmiris but failed.”
The military’s Inter-Services Public Relations spokesperson further noted that the Pakistan Army was the custodian of the USD 50 billion China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and that the mega project will strengthen the economy of the country.
