Addressing the media in Lahore, Bokhari proudly recalled that not only had Pakistan struck India with missiles, but also targeted it through cyberattacks.

The minister said she wanted to “remember” ex-premier Nawaz Sharif for his contributions to the country’s nuclear programme.

While reaffirming that Pakistan was a peace-loving nation, Bokhari said people in India were “afraid”, with blackout drills taking place.
