“We are in State of War”, Says Khawaja Asif
Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has said the country is in a state of war following an Indian-sponsored suicide blast in Islamabad’s G-11 sector.
At least 12 people were killed and over 27 were injured in the attack near the Islamabad Judicial Complex.
The bombing was carried out by the Indian-backed group Fitna al-Khawarij, officials said.
In a post on X, Asif warned that anyone who believes the Pakistan Army is only fighting in the border regions or remote parts of Balochistan should see this attack as a wake-up call.
“This is a war for all of Pakistan,” he said, adding that the army is making daily sacrifices to protect the nation.
He added that, under the current circumstances, it is pointless to expect any meaningful talks with the Afghan Taliban.
“The rulers of Kabul can stop terrorism in Pakistan, but bringing this war all the way to Islamabad is a message from Kabul, to which praise be to God, Pakistan has the full strength to respond,” Khawaja Asif stated.
ھم حالت جنگ میں ھیں کوئ یہ سنجھے کہ پاک فوج یہ جنگ افغان پاکستان سرحدی علاقے میں اور بلوچستان کے دور دراز علاقے میں لڑرہی ھے تو آج اسلام آباد ضلع کچہری میں خود کش حملہ wake up call ھے کہ یہ سارے پاکستان کی جنگ ھے جسمیں پاک فوج روز قربانیاں دے رہی ھے اور عوام کو تحفظ کا احساس دلا…
