It’s your turn to get ready for surprise, Pakistan Army tells India
February 26, 2019
Army has rubbished Indian claims of an attack on Pakistani soil which New Delhi said had resulted in “heavy casualties”.
“Not even a single brick or debris is present there. They are claiming 350 deaths. Even had there been 10 casualties, there would be blood, funeral prayers, injuries,” Major General Asif Ghafoor said in a news conference on Tuesday afternoon.
The military spokesman refuted claims that PAF was not ready to deal with any Indian misadventure. “We were ready, we responded, we denied,” he said. “It is your [India] turn now to wait and get ready for our surprise.”
Ghafoor said the Indian aircraft were chased away by PAF jets, which were immediately scrambled to thwart any aggressive move by the country’s eastern neighbour.
His reaction came hours after the National Security Committee strongly rejected Indian claims, saying New Delhi had “resorted to a self-serving, reckless and fictitious claim.
The meeting, which was attended by top civil-military leadership, resolved to respond “at the time and place of its choosing”.
