ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif said that we are in a state of war, following Indian sponsored suicide blast in Islamabad’s G-11 sector.
Atleast 12 people have died and more than 27 injured in a suicide blast by the Indian sponsored Fitna al-Khawarij near the Islamabad judicial complex in sector G-11 of the federal capital on Tuesday.
The Minister took to X and warned that anyone who thinks that the Pakistan Army is fighting this war in the Afghan-Pakistan border region and the remote areas of Balochistan “should take today’s suicide attack at the Islamabad district courts as a wake-up call: this is a war for all of Pakistan, in which the Pakistan Army is giving daily sacrifices and making the people feel secure.”
