Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), Major General Asif Ghafoor in his press conference, Feb 22, responded to Indian warnings and threats of wars and made it clear for India that Pakistan can respond to full spectrum threat. And I hope you get us and don’t mess with Pakistan, adding that Pakistan is not preparing for war. Threats and reports of a war are coming from your side. We are only using our right to self defence.
“There are quite a few topics which I wanted to discuss for a while. However, most of my discussion will be on the situation arising after the Pulwama attack,” DG ISPR said as he began his press conference. “On February 14, a Kashmiri youngster targeted Indian security forces. After the incident, India starting bombarding Pakistan with allegations without any thought or proof,” Major General Ghafoor said. “Pakistan took time to respond. We wanted to investigate the allegations and when we were sure footed, the prime minister of Pakistan responded.”
“We do not wish to go into war but please be rest assured should you [India] initiate any aggression, first you shall never be able to surprise us. Pakistan armed forces shall never be surprised by you, but let me assure you, we will surprise you. We should also because you initiate, we shall also dominate the escalation ladder. We shall have superior force ratio at decisive point. Never think that due to our commitments elsewhere we will have any capacity lack. We have singleness of conception, from the prime minister down to a citizen, from three chiefs down to a soldier. All political parties all segments of life, 207 million Pakistanis, we have singleness of conception,” the DG ISPR warned as he addressed Indian leadership’s threats of waging war on Pakistan.
“Whenever the situation improves in Pakistan, India tries to destabilise the country,” he asserted. “In February when the Pulwama attack happened there were eight important events in Pakistan — Saudi crown prince’s visit, Afghan reconciliation process, UNSC talking about terror financing, EU deliberating on human rights violations in occupied Kashmir, Kulbhushan Jadhav hearing, FATF hearing and decision on Pakistan, PSL and Kartarpur meeting. The elections are upcoming in India and the indigenous struggle in occupied Kashmir is high.” “What would Pakistan benefit from Pulwama attack in light of these events? Pakistan would be at a loss,” the head of the military’s media wing stressed. Major General Ghafoor continued, “The attack took place miles away from the Line of Control (LoC) and the explosives used were not from Pakistan. The car used was not from Pakistan either. The attack was carried out by a youngster from occupied Kashmir who was mistreated by Indian security forces.”

The premier offered to probe the India if actionable evidence is shared,” he maintained. “We hope India will wisely consider Pakistan’s offer for peace.”
