Web Desk: Defence Minister Khawaja Asif on Sunday delivered a strong response to what he termed provocative remarks from India’s top security leadership, warning that any aggression would be met with decisive force.
Speaking through a post on X, the minister said India would be “buried under the wreckage of its planes, Inshallah.”
He argued that recent statements from Indian military and political figures reflected weakness rather than strength. According to Asif, such remarks were “a failed attempt to restore their lost credibility” and showed “pressure at the top.”
بھارتی فوجی اور سیاسی قیادت کے بیانات اپنی خاک میں ملی ساکھ کو بحال کرنے کی ناکام کوشش ھے۔ اتنی فیصلہ کن شکست کے بعد جس کا سکور 0-6 رہا ھو اگر دوبارہ کوشش کی تو سکور انشاءاللہ پہلے سے کہیں بہتر ھوگا۔ جسطرح بھارت میں عوامی رائے تاریخ کی بد ترین شکست کے بعد حکومت کے خلاف ھوئ اور…

He further referred to past clashes, recalling India’s defeats in previous encounters. “After such a decisive defeat with a score of 6-0, if they try again, the score will be even worse,” he wrote.
The minister also pointed to what he described as growing public dissatisfaction within India, saying the population had turned strongly against the ruling party, which he believed was mirrored in the tone of recent leadership statements.
Reaffirming Pakistan’s resolve, Asif declared, “Pakistan is a state built in the name of God, our defenders are soldiers of God. This time, India, Inshallah, will be buried under the wreckage of its planes. Allahu Akbar.”
His remarks followed comments from the military’s spokesperson, who also addressed the same Indian statements. The spokesperson said the “aggressive and provocative comments” had been noted with “grave concern” and described them as irresponsible.
He warned that such rhetoric risked stoking tensions and could undermine peace and stability in South Asia.
Meanwhile, security sources separately dismissed India’s threats, describing them as hollow claims. They stressed that Pakistan’s armed forces were fully prepared to defend the country in the event of any provocation.
The sharp exchange comes amid heightened rhetoric between the two neighbours. Pakistan’s leadership has insisted that its military remains alert and capable of responding to any challenge.
