Pakistan political leaders strongly responded to the first public comments from the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Moda after the military clashes between the two nuclear nations, which ended under a truce negotiated by the United States on Saturday.
Modi, in his speech today, warned Pakistan that New Delhi would again target the “terrorist hiding places” through the border if there were new attacks against India and would not be dissuaded by what he called the “nuclear blackmail” of Islamabad.
Pakistan denies the Indian accusations and says that the locations affected by India last week were civil sites.
Reacting to Modi’s Declaration, Defense Minister Khawaja Asif said that Modi spoke like a “defeated player” who has nothing. The Indian Prime Minister admitted that cashmere and terrorism are viable discussion subjects between the two countries, he added.
Asif added that Pakistan came out victorious on each war front against India, and whenever New Delhi discusses terrorism, Islamabad demanded an investigation into the pahalgam incident.
The head of the opposition to the National Assembly Omar Ayub Khan criticized the Indian Prime Minister and challenged the “fascist” to continue his plans if he has the courage.
Omar added that the Pakistani nation would never let Moda succeed (in its harmful plans against the country).
The senator of PML-N Irfan Siddiqui saw Modi’s speech as a “clear admission of humiliating defeat”. Speaking in Islamabad, the senator added that Modi’s body language reflected a defeated man.
He added: “After such shame, staying silent would have been a better option rather than making such a history.”
A weekend ceasefire, which American president Donald Trump said he had negotiated, seemed to hold on Monday after four days of intense reaction, missile, drone and artillery-the worst violence between the two nuclear neighbors since 1999.
Trump said on Monday that the American intervention had prevented a “bad nuclear war”.
“We have stopped a nuclear conflict … millions of people could have been killed. So I am very proud of that,” he told journalists in the White House.
The ceasefire intervened after the armed forces of Pakistan launched a large-scale military reprisal action, called “Operation Bunyan-Um-Marsoos” and targeted several Indian military strikes in several regions.
The strikes, described by managers as “precise and proportionate”, were carried out in response to the continuous aggression of India through the control line (LOC) and in the sovereignty of Pakistan.
This follows the attacks of unlikely missiles from India against several Pakistani cities in the night of May 5 and 6, which, according to New Delhi, aimed at “terrorist targets” in response to Pahalgam’s attack last month in India illegally occupied Jammu and the cashmere (iiojk).
However, strikes led to civilian victims in Pakistan, which caused a strong answer.
