Defence Minister Khawaja Asif said on Thursday that "when we [Pakistan] do attack, entire world will know.
Speaking on Samaa TV’s programme "Red Line With Talat", Asif stated: “We [Pakistan] have tried to de-escalate the situation. However, our military preparedness remains undiminished. There are claims that Pakistan has attacked Jammu. When we [Pakistan] do strike, the entire world will know.”
He also dismissed Indian media reports of an aircraft being shot down. “No aircraft has been brought down. India is claiming to have captured four pilots from one aircraft. It’s a plane, not a rickshaw, that carries four passengers,” he said.
