Minister for Interior said on Thursday that Pakistan\u2019s civil armed forces, intelligence agencies and media played a decisive and exemplary role during the recent Pakistan-India hostilities, ensuring national security through advance preparedness, effective coordination and remarkable unity.
\nSpeaking at a briefing, the minister thanked media representatives for attending and said the visit coincides with nationwide celebrations, making it important to highlight how civil defence, Rangers, Islamabad teams and other forces performed their duties with exceptional commitment.
\nHe said that while the armed forces \u2014 the Army, Air Force and Navy \u2014 played an outstanding role, the contribution of Pakistan\u2019s intelligence agencies was \u201cfar greater than acknowledged.\u201d According to him, advance intelligence during the conflict proved \u201c100% accurate,\u201d enabling Pakistan to prepare and respond effectively.
\nThe minister revealed that India used drones extensively, sending small and medium-sized drones across several Pakistani cities. Pakistan, however, intercepted and downed most of them at the border. \u201cOur Rangers shot down dozens of drones using only their guns. Very few managed to reach cities,\u201d he said.
\nHe added that India launched nearly 100 attacks on Pakistani border posts but \u201creceived the response they deserved.\u201d Images of Indian forces raising a white flag along the Line of Control speak for themselves, he said.
\nThe minister also highlighted India\u2019s cyber-attack attempts, saying they \u201cfailed completely\u201d due to Pakistan\u2019s superior cyber response capabilities. \u201cNothing on their side remained secure,\u201d he noted.
\nPraising the Pakistani media, he said it maintained unity and a single national voice, unlike Indian media which \u201cremained confused and even reported self-inflicted attacks.\u201d Pakistan, he added, maintained a clear stance: \u201cWhenever we respond, we will do it openly, not secretly.\u201d
\nHe recounted several instances in which key military decisions succeeded against the odds, crediting them to divine support. He said Pakistan narrowly avoided large-scale losses during a major missile attack on a Balochistan airbase. \u201cOut of 16 missiles fired, only one hit the base; the rest were diverted. This was not possible without God\u2019s blessing.\u201d
\nSimilarly, Pakistan\u2019s missiles struck critical Indian military targets with precision, avoiding civilian areas. \u201cA slight deviation could have hit populated zones, but every missile struck exactly where it was meant to,\u201d he said.
\nThe minister stressed that numerous major Indian Navy and Air Force assets were within Pakistan\u2019s range, prompting India to accept the ceasefire. \u201cHad the ceasefire not occurred, India\u2019s losses would have been ten times greater.\u201d
\nHe praised the coordination between the Field Marshal, the Air Force Chief and other service chiefs, noting that the Air Chief spent nearly two weeks inside the operations room. \u201cSuch commitment and leadership were unprecedented.\u201d
\nHe emphasized that Pakistan\u2019s intelligence agencies played a decisive role by providing advance and accurate information throughout the conflict. \u201cTheir performance shocked even people like me. It was as if every detail was coming from within India.\u201d
\nHe also acknowledged the crucial role of the Information Ministry and ISPR in managing wartime communication, ensuring accurate and responsible dissemination of information. \u201cISPR handled an extremely difficult task with excellence, deciding what could be shared during wartime and how.\u201d
\nHe concluded by urging the nation to preserve the unity demonstrated during the conflict. \u201cUnity was our greatest strength then, and it must remain so. Divisions weaken nations; unity wins battles.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
