Punjab CM Maryam Nawaz has termed the recent military escalation between India and Pakistan a “battle of emotions”.

“This wasn’t a battle of borders, but of ideologies and of emotions, in which Pakistan has defeated everyone,” she said, addressing an event in Lahore.

She paid tribute to the armed forces and the personnel.

“The world has been forced to say that Pakistan is rising as a powerful and strong country,” Maryam asserted.
