\nPunjab Information Minister Azma Bokhari released a forceful video statement, responding to what she called a \u201cfalse flag drama\u201d, orchestrated by India. She warned that Pakistan is fully prepared to counter any act of aggression and will respond with strength if provoked. She expressed deep regret over the recent incident in Srinagar, questioning how such an attack could take place in a zone heavily militarised with over 700,000 Indian troops. \u201cEven the Indian public is asking how this could happen in such a sensitive area,\u201d she noted, pointing out that critical questions about previous incidents remain unanswered \u2014 further fueling suspicions of a staged operation.
\n\u201cThis is yet another cowardly attempt, just like the ones India has made in the past, aimed at falsely accusing Pakistan,\u201d Azma said.
\nAddressing India\u2019s rhetoric, Azma Bokhari remarked, \u201cI\u2019ve heard some empty threats being thrown around. Our tea is indeed excellent, but we don\u2019t always serve it. A guest once in a while is tolerable \u2014 but if guests become frequent, Pakistan\u2019s army, its people, and its government know how to respond accordingly.\u201d
\nShe issued a stern warning against any military adventurism by India under the pretext of the incident, calling it a \u201cgrave mistake.\u201d
\n\u201cThanks to Allah, Pakistan has made India taste defeat before \u2014 and we will go to any length to defend our homeland again,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
