Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee, General Zubair Mahmood Hayat, who earlier this week visited an operational PAF base and flew a familiarization sortie in an F-16 to verify/validate how the PAF would respond to certain threat perceptions has issued a statement and this is what he had to say to the guys who have been given clear-cut orders and targets to take out should they have to do the needful.
"Chairman JCSC General Zubair Mahmood Hayat has stated that Pakistan has noted with deep concern the rash and irresponsible statement by IAF Chief regarding 'targeting Pakistan's Nuclear Weapons.'
While to some it may be surprising that the senior most Indian active duty Air Force officer has made such a threat, which constitutes advert strategic escalation; to us in Pakistan it just reconfirms the current aggressive Indian strategic thought and behaviour, which has been dangerously emboldened by a 'permissive' environment.
This Indian quest for force application against nuclear weapons and blinded focus on war in a fragile strategic environment is a real and tangible 'alert call.'
As a credible and responsible nuclear power, Pakistan rejects this Indian strategic posture.
Let there be no doubt that any Indian strategic miscalculation or misadventure (now or at any other time) will be responded with such force, as necessary, to teach a lesson to the errant party."
