RAWALPINDI: A day after India’s defence minister threatened to make Pakistan ‘pay’ for the attack on an army camp in Indian Occupied Kashmir, Defence Minister Khurram Dastgir said Islamabad will pay New Delhi in its own coin in case of any Indian misadventure.
Vowing to “defend robustly” every inch of Pakistan’s soil, Dastgir said, “any Indian aggression, strategic miscalculation, or misadventure regardless of its scale, mode, or location will not go unpunished and shall be met with an equal and proportionate response.”

Stating India has the knee-jerk reaction of blaming Pakistan without substantial evidence, Dastgir instead asks the neighbouring stated to “answer for state-sponsored espionage against Pakistan.”
“Living evidence in person of Kulbushan Jadhav is in front of the world.”
Dastgir further stated India has failed to deliver justice for the 42 Pakistanis who were murdered in the Samjhota Express 11 years ago.
“India is destabilising regional peace in word and deed; through irresponsible statements on nuclear deterrent and through its bloody, five-fold escalation in 2017 of attacks on unarmed civilians on the line-of-control and working boundary,” the defence minister said further.

Dastgir said Pakistan’s armed forces are “alive to all possibilities, and prepared fully to defend our country’s territorial integrity.”
The defence minister further said that “an aggressive Pakistan centric doctrine and arrayed forces under a belligerent regime leading to a possible strategic miscalculation by India will seriously impact the strategic stability in South Asia.”
ISLAMABAD: A day after Indias Defence Minister warned that Pakistan would have to "pay" for a terror strike on an army camp in Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan's Defence Minister Khurram Dastgir said on Tuesday that Islamabad will pay New Delhi in "its own coin in case of any Indian misadventure".
He vowed to "defend robustly" every inch of Pakistan's soil, and said: "Any Indian aggression, strategic miscalculation, or misadventure regardless of its scale, mode, or location will not go unpunished and shall be met with an equal and proportionate response."
Dastgir said India has failed to deliver justice for the 42 Pakistanis who were murdered in the Samjhota Express 11 years ago.
He also said Pakistan's armed forces are "alive to all possibilities, and prepared fully to defend our country's territorial integrity".
"An aggressive Pakistan centric doctrine and arrayed forces under a belligerent regime leading to a possible strategic miscalculation by India will seriously impact the strategic stability in South Asia," he warned.
Indian Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Monday said that militants who killed five soldiers and a civilian at an Army camp in Jammu were Pakistanis and had warned that Islamabad will pay a price for the terror attack.
"Pakistan will have to pay for this misadventure," Sitharaman told reporters in Jammu. The deaths of "our soldiers won't go in vain".

But Pak may have found a way to stop that too!!! Soft targets inside Pak = Hard targets inside both India and Afganistan!!! And, Pak has shown it has the guts and gadgets to do that....Now Pakistan has to increase security of schools, hospitals and other soft targets. This is where Indians always do the "pay back".
Expect Indian sponsored terrorism via her proxies in Afghanistan to increase in coming days.
And, upon whose destruction lies your 1K years of redemption....So India will carry out another fake "Sir Jee Kal Strike" , Sometimes I feel pity for them, it must be really agonizing to know you are being bullied by a neighbor who is 7x times smaller than you in every aspect, and all you can do is lip servicing.
And, so are the Pentagon boys in many fronts - Afganistan, Syria etc....India is rattled and cant control whats happening at LOC.
Pakistan has lost every conflict it ever started with India. "Do more" and Pakistan may end up with less: less population, less territory, less respect, and a lesser army.I hope we "do more"

Maybe time for every able Pak citizen to receive military training. India and Afghanistan are both hostile enemy states.What Indians don't understand is unlike the Indian we the paksitani will fight hand in hand with our soldiers.
Is there any Pakistani out there who can't use gunsMaybe time for every able Pak citizen to receive military training. India and Afghanistan are both hostile enemy states.
