Conventional warfare supremacy over India shattered nuclear deterrence myth: PM
\nLAHORE
\nPrime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday said that Pakistan\u2019s decisive victory in the recent conflict with India had elevated the country\u2019s global stature, asserting that the Armed Forces had dispelled the misconception that Pakistan relied solely on its nuclear capability.
\nAddressing a ceremony in Lahore, the premier praised the swift and effective response by Pakistan\u2019s Armed Forces during the four-day war, calling it \u201cshort but highly dangerous.\u201d
\nHe said that in a very brief span of time, the military had demonstrated extraordinary preparedness, courage, and skill.
\n\u201cIndia believed Pakistan could only rely on nuclear deterrence, but our conventional warfare supremacy has shattered that myth,\u201d Shehbaz said. He credited the Army\u2019s use of Al Fatah missiles, the Air Force\u2019s technological innovation, and the Navy\u2019s vigilance for the victory, which he described as a product of teamwork and national unity.
\nThe prime minister also highlighted the diplomatic front, saying US President Donald Trump had repeatedly acknowledged that the ceasefire between Pakistan and India was achieved due to his intervention.
\n\u201cThat, too, is a great diplomatic success for Pakistan,\u201d he said.
\nThe prime minister was addressing the ceremony after inaugurating the Pak Business Express and newly-upgraded passenger facilities at the Lahore Railway Station.
\nHe also vowed to make Pakistan Railways a modern, reliable, and affordable mode of transport for all citizens, not just the elite. PM Shehbaz said Pakistan Railways would soon see an overhaul through cooperation with China.
\nHe added that modernising the railway system was a top priority for the government and would play a vital role in economic development and regional connectivity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
