A COWARDLY attack by India against Pakistan in the dead of the night is another example of their so-called chivalry. History is replete with examples when India crossed the international borders in the darkness but could not do any harm to Pakistan.

Although India claims it was a ‘pre-emptive attack’, it failed to produce any proof of it (audio or video). This proves their stance baseless. Our armed forces are fully equipped and ready to hit back any time if India opts for any misadventure.

The United Nations and rest of the world must condemn India for territorial transgression. War is indeed not a solution to any problem. But we need to be on our toes to stop India from any further aggression. India should now be declared a terrorist state for attacking Pakistan.

INDIA now claims yet another fake surgical air strike. It has been claiming that Indian jets killed terrorists and their commander in Balakot sector near Line of Control.

They are actually hiding the truth and lying to their people, claiming the attack was in retaliation for the Pulwama attack.

Prime Minister Imran Khan has already offered India that if it had any proof of Pakistan’s involvement in the Pulwama attack, it should give us the evidence and we would take action. But the Balakot attack is a proof that New Delhi is lying and has no evidence against Pakistan.

According to Indian media, Narendra Modi is doing this just to garner votes in the forthcoming Indian national elections.

Pakistan is a peace-loving nation, but also has a brave soldier in every home committed to defend Pakistan till the last drop of his blood. Pakistan Zindabad! Pakistan Army Paindabad!
