Asif Ghafoor on Pakistan and India

The new DGISPR Asif Ghafoor spoke with the press yesterday and proclaimed great news for the people residing in Pakistan. The success of the army and the development of Pakistan as a nation is moving smoothly as per plan with the enemies against our state diminishing day by day.

The main concern rising was the issue of Kashmir at the line of control and the ceasefire violations that India had been committing since 2003. He stated that the neighboring country had spent a lot of time and resources trying to find a way in through Pakistan Defense to breach into Azad Kashmir but had failed miserably as Pakistan were always ready to give a befitting response. He also stated that Pakistan in the case of resolution would rather have peace than any sort of war to avoid bloodshed. He emphasized on the bravery and dedication of Pakistan defense and how it had successfully tested Ababeel and Babar-3 missiles to improve the situation from external threats for the country.

One of the main topics he talked about was India’s Cold doctrine. Previously the message from Indian soil was to verify all the facts and figures before actually going on to infiltrate and move against any sort of aggression has now recently turned into an all-out skirmish between forces. India giving knee jerk reactions to situations without any proof has been costly for them as well as their image. DG ISPR reiterated that India following this blind approach would be met by the strongest impenetrable defense possible and that Pakistan themselves would not make the first move. The commitment of the whole Armed Forces is dead on and they will serve to protect the civilians from any sort of threat.

Talking about the LoC, He stated that India had been terrorizing Kashmiri’s since the early days looking to get some sort of leeway on Pakistan, especially now that the CPEC project is underway. Admitting that Pakistani soldiers are fighting on two fronts, the other being the war on terror, it was hard on the soldiers who still manage to give their best for the country.
