Reject karne se kya hota hai...lol

If a terrorist attack is planned on your soil against India then India will definitely reply back. It's the policy of this decade. Now it's up to Pakistan how they want to perceive it.

And Pakistan will give a long hard bambo up India arse like it did during operation swift retort. Same old, same old. LOL

Pakistan on Wednesday rejected the new Indian Army Chief Lt Gen MM Naravane's "irresponsible statement" regarding "pre-emptive strikes" across the Line of Control (LoC) in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK).

In a press release, the Foreign Office (FO) said: "There should be no doubt about Pakistan’s resolve and readiness to thwart against any aggressive Indian move, inside its territory or AJ&K. No one should forget Pakistan’s befitting response to India’s Balakot misadventure.

"Despite India's provocations, Pakistan will continue contributing to all efforts of promoting peace, security and stability in the region and beyond."

Gen Naravane, who was appointed as India's 28th army chief on Tuesday, barely hours after taking charge said that New Delhi "reserves the right to preemptively strike across the Line of Control (LoC)", First Post reported.

According to the report, in an exclusive interview with the Press Trust of India, the newly appointed army chief said: "If Pakistan does not stop its policy of state-sponsored terrorism, we reserve the right to preemptively strike at the sources of terror threat and this intent has adequately been demonstrated in our response during surgical strikes and Balakot operation."

Gen Naravane said a "strategy of resolute punitive response" has been evolved to tackle cross-border terrorism," Hindustan Times added.

According to HT, Gen Naravane served as India's vice-chief of the army prior to his new appointment. Additionally, he has served in various command and staff appointments in peace, field and "highly active counter-insurgency environments" in occupied Kashmir and the northeast, the report added.

He also headed the force's Eastern Command and commanded a Rashtriya Rifles battalion in occupied Kashmir and an infantry brigade on the eastern front.

Gen Naravane took over as the army chief after former army chief Gen Bipin Rawat was appointed as India’s first Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), a day before his superannuation.

Last month, Rawat had said that the situation at the restive LoC could "escalate any time". In response, Inter-Services Public Relations Director General Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor had termed Rawat's remarks an "effort, as usual, to divert world attention from widespread protests" over the controversial Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) in India.

150 days of clampdown in occupied Kashmir
While rejecting the latest remarks from the newly-appointed Indian army chief, the FO added: "We deplore the continuing proclivity of Indian political as well as military leaders to fabricate facts with regard to terrorism or the situation along the Line of Control (LoC) as part of their attempts to mislead the world and with the possible intention of staging some false-flag operation.

"They would be well-advised to look inwards and curb the growing 'saffron terror', which is increasingly a matter of concern for the international community."

The FO reaffirmed Pakistan's "unflinching support and solidarity" with Kashmiris as the lockdown imposed by the Indian government in occupied Kashmir on August 5, 2019, crossed 150 days, with the security and communication clampdown also continuing in full force.

The press release said Pakistan will continue to raise the Kashmir cause on international forums.

"India’s farcical claims of normalcy returning to the situation in IOJ&K carry no credibility whatsoever. We will continue to stress the importance of urgent and effective steps by the world community to address India's state-terrorism against the Kashmiri people, who are demanding their legitimate right of self-determination as enshrined in the United National Security Council Resolutions," the press release read.

The FO said India "must immediately" lift the lockdown and communications restrictions in occupied Kashmir, free all detainees, release senior Kashmiri leadership, remove all draconian laws, withdraw 900,000 security personnel and allow "unhindered access" to international humanitarian and human rights observers as well as the international media.

All TALK and hot air. indians ain't gonna do F** K all to us because they CAN'T. india is TOO WEAK, POWERLESS & incapable of taking on Pakistan. If they weren't they would have done something by now. So let the dogs keep barking, but do NOTHING in REALITY. I'm perfectly happy with this arrangement.................All indians will do is talk big especially on-line but do nothing else..........keep going!........

Cowardice was when IAF was not given permission to strike after 26/11 Mumbai attacks.

Now there will be powerful response on and over LOC.

anyways terrorism in Kashmir has reduced considerably after Aug 5th.

Sure they will. Just like how your kind also claimed to have killed exactly 350 terrorists in Balakot and shot down an F-16........

[YeBeWarned]

Pakistan response should be something like this ..
“You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you. Do you understand the rights I have just read to you? With these rights in mind, do you wish to speak to me?”

India is a nation that has commited terror against its own Muslim population (CAA, lynching, cow terror) and against the occupied Kashmiris.... Do you think it would even think twice about the terror it is commiting in Pakistan???

India is the biggest source of terror in the region..
Just look at what it's doing within its border and LOC and in Pakistan .

Hindutvaism = Terrorism

 

[El Sidd]

I hope the government says something too.

Foreign Office and their recommendations have fallen on deaf ears of the government for the past 18 months.

Abhinandan is back safe and is already flying again. You might see him soon in the next surgical strike

Well, he wants more cups of tea. Interesting approach.
