Former NA speaker Qasim Khan Suri has hailed the Pakistan Air Force for giving a “befitting response to the fascist Hindutva ideology of the Modi regime”.

“I salute the eagles of the Pakistan Air Force who gave a befitting response to the fascist Hindutva ideology of the Modi regime, its war frenzy, and its attempts to establish hegemony in the region, thwarting Indian aggression and ensuring the protection of Pakistan’s sacred soil,” Suri said on X.

“The eagles of the Pakistan Air Force have never disappointed the Pakistani people. The entire Pakistani nation salutes the young heroes of our Air Force.”

“I pray for every soldier and citizen fighting for the homeland!”
