As usual, limited Pakistani intellects not focusing on all relevant details. There are two assertions in Ayaz Sadiq's statement:
1. Bajwa was acting like a coward.
2. There was no threat of attack from India.
His second assertion has actually been verified now by DG ISPR himself, wherein he has again revisited the powerful response given by Pakistan. So the key question to ask is, why was Bajwa acting like a coward? Was he under Indian pressure, or under the pressure of his masters whose wishes are his command (NOTE: This is my personal speculation based on circumstantial evidence)? Thank you
@BATMAN for raising the issue of clearances. Can you please also post the navy video which dramatizes the submarine lock and shows clearly that command was received from the top to not fire at the submarine?
Gentlemen, there are TWO testimonies from the airforce AND from the navy. The airforce has told us clearly that 7 clearances were not given. The navy has told us the clearance for the submarine was not given. We, as a nation, demand to know who made these decisions, and why?
Here's the news...

Please book mark it, as usual many Indians at google are working to coverup the insane generosity of Pakistan.
Where i feel most uncomfortable, is that non of the naval officer involved in action, had balls to tender resignation in face of inconceivable orders, from some supreme authority.
You can imagine the obvious awkwardness in any such orders, which in preset case and in it's simplistic form was....
a) To grant clemency to an Indian sub, which (to say the least) was found doing espionage in Pakistani waters.
I don't know how surrender is called in naval terminology, but Indian sub was cornered into a similar situation.
b) Escort the said sub to neutral or Indian waters, ensuring it's safety. !!!!!!
I trust, at least the officer in-charge on Pakistan side, has at least demanded from his officer in line, to repeat the order.
It should be all be accessible in record. If not, than lintel is black at top.
I will not accept, excuses like there was any diplomatic pressure from Saudis... like we are told every time.
I also keep telling, I haven't listened to statement of AS, while i'm basing my arguments on ground realities and common sense.
FACTS in subject case are:
- Regime did called upon an urgent meeting of all opposition parties, including PMLN. of whom regime was blood thirsty, otherwise.
- In the said meeting, (of un publicized agenda) regime was advocating for release of Abhinandan on express grounds. One of the alleged argument (according to AS) was threat of Indian counter attack, which is now disputed by regime.
- Said meeting was attended by large number of participants, and the attendees included (but not limited to) were SMQ, Bajwa and AS.
- Regime was the undisputed final authority, in all decisions, and had full control over sharing intelligence with opposition and to it's limits.
- As of yet, Public isn't informed that if similar meeting was called upon, while calling off operation swift retort.
- Bajwa and PMIK are on same page.
