IT Minister Shaza Fatima Khawaja has said that all relevant institutions, including the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) and technical wings, are fully active and have successfully thwarted recent Indian cyber attacks, the Associated Press of Pakistan reports.

In an exclusive talk with a news channel at the Crisis Management centre, she stressed that no cyber attack from India has been allowed to succeed, and Pakistan remains vigilant to prevent any such attempts in the future.

Condemning Indian aggression, the minister said India’s attack on civilians under the cover of darkness was a cowardly act.

“India has a history of launching such cowardly strikes, but our forces have always responded in a befitting manner,” she stated.

She reaffirmed that Pakistan had responded strongly and would continue to defend its sovereignty against any form of hostility.
