Pakistan on Wednesday summoned an Indian Diplomat and handed over a demarche to him, showing protest against the Indian strikes on terror camps at nine locations across Pakistan and PoK. The strikes were carried out nearly two weeks after the Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 people — 25 Tourists and one local — were killed.
India on late Tuesday night precisely targeted terror camps in Pakistan and PoK that was being used by terror outfits like Laskar-e-Toiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed for training terrorists and as hideouts. Sources said the strikes were carefully calibrated, with precision targeting and were monitored by Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself.
Meanwhile, Pakistan Information Minister Ataullah Tarar has responded saying that “Pakistan has right to respond against India’s strikes”. He further warned India against Pakistan’s action and said that “they will respond.”
Notably, Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in his first reaction termed India’s action as an “act of war” and stated that “Pakistan has every right to respond forcefully”.
“The entire nation stands with the Pakistani armed forces, and the morale and spirit of the entire Pakistani nation are high. The Pakistani nation and the Pakistani armed forces know how to deal with the enemy. We will never allow the enemy to succeed in their nefarious goals,” Sharif added.
