Field Marshal warns India of more “severe response” if it resorts to any aggression against Pakistan
Rawalpindi: Chief of Defence Forces and Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir has warned India of a more “severe response” if it resorted to any aggression against Pakistan.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Field Marshal Asim Munir was speaking to the officers of the armed forces following a guard of honour ceremony held at the General Headquarters in Rawalpindi to honour him on being appointed as the country’s first CDF.
He said, “India should not be in any delusion [as] Pakistan’s response (in case of any aggression) will be even more swift and intense.”
Speaking on Pakistan-Afghanistan tensions, he said that a clear message had been given to the Afghan Taliban regime in Kabul.
“The (Afghan) Taliban have no option but to choose between Fitna al-Khawarij [TTP] and Pakistan,” he remarked.
Reiterating that Pakistan is a peace-loving country, the CDF warned that no one will be allowed to threaten the country’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, or test its resolve.
During the ceremony, the CDF was presented a guard of honour by contingents of all three services — the Pakistan Army, Pakistan Navy and Pakistan Air Force.
The event was attended by the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) Chief Air Chief Marshal (ACM) Zaheer Ahmed Baber Sidhu, Chief of the Naval Staff Admiral Naveed Ashraf and senior officers from all three armed forces.
