Information Minister Ataullah Tarar has said Pakistan did not just shoot down Indian jets but also New Delhi’s morale and pride.

“Taking down Rafale jets shows Pakistan’s military capability, and if you see conventional warfare, there are several examples where we have defeated India,” he said on the floor of the National Assembly.

“And now they are scared to an extent that they are sending unmanned drones now,” Tarar stressed. “Harop is an Israeli drone and is considered the Rafale in drone technology … so now India has gone to the backfoot.”

“This time around, the tea has been delivered to India,” the minister added.
