ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has said that Pakistan knows how to respond to aggression, and Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos is clear evidence of that.
In a statement, the premier expressed deep grief over the martyrdom of 40 innocent citizens, including women and children, in India’s aggression. He offered prayers for the elevation of the martyrs’ ranks and patience for their families.
“The martyrs of the nation will never be forgotten,” said the prime minister. He reaffirmed that a special package for the martyrs has already been announced and that the state will fully support their families. “We will not leave them alone,” he vowed.
Referring to the retaliatory military action, PM Shehbaz said that Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos proved we know how to respond.
“India has now been made to realise that it must respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of regional nations,” he asserted.
He praised the Pakistan Armed Forces for crushing India’s illusion of numerical superiority. “We are a peaceful nation, but we know how to respond to any act of aggression — and Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos is undeniable proof,” he concluded.
