India refused to respond to Feb 27 because Pakistan returned the PoW the next day.
Your own PM says India was going to do missile strikes after Abhi's capture and that was one of the main reasons why he was released so quickly. So it seems from your own PMs words that it was actually your leadership which was wetting its pants rather than the IAF.
The move to release Abhi was a de-escalation move my Pakistan. After that India had to stand down. We didn't want to look like aggressors in front of the world when Pakistan was acting pacifist.
Events of Feb 27 happened too quickly and IAF wasn't prepared. It's as simple as that. It's not like we had dozens of planes in the area but we deliberately sent 4 ancient Migs to battle it out with the PAF. That is all we could arrange in that time and that is due to the ill preparedness of the IAF.
Gen Bakshi esp Pravin Sohney both were stated "Pakistan didn't deter with our force. They intruded into our side, bomb our military installations in the broad daylight and went back safely. That was a clear message to our entire force that they damn care about our (India) defense apparatus. They (Pakistani) were ready for full-scale war whereas our entire force and govt completely blank about what if Pakis will responded to our so called strikes.. they actually DID that, breached our airspace, target our HQ and we don't have any plan to counter".
As you have mentioned the statement of our PM, let me tell you his full statement
He stated "We have got information from our intelligence that India has the plan to attack Karachi. We already informed them from our side (whatsoever the channels), we have chosen many targets inside India, if India attack Karachi we will respond accordingly"
FKUP with your so-called point which you're trying to make that Pakistan got scared with a fucking force who was sitting DUCK when Pakistan air force rolling over its head and target its military installations!
