Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has hit back at recent remarks from India’s military leadership, warning that any future aggression against Pakistan would result in an even stronger response than before.
In a statement shared on X, Khawaja Asif said India’s leadership is trying to regain its lost credibility after suffering a “decisive defeat” with a score of 0-6.
“After such a defeat, if they try again, the score will be much better than before,” Asif remarked, in a veiled reference to India’s previous military losses.
بھارتی فوجی اور سیاسی قیادت کے بیانات اپنی خاک میں ملی ساکھ کو بحال کرنے کی ناکام کوشش ھے۔ اتنی فیصلہ کن شکست کے بعد جس کا سکور 0-6 رہا ھو اگر دوبارہ کوشش کی تو سکور انشاءاللہ پہلے سے کہیں بہتر ھوگا۔ جسطرح بھارت میں عوامی رائے تاریخ کی بد ترین شکست کے بعد حکومت کے خلاف ھوئ اور…

Reaffirming Pakistan’s military resolve, the Defence Minister said, “Pakistan is a state built in the name of Allah. Our protectors are the soldiers of Allah. This time, India will be buried in the wreckage of its planes, InshaAllah.”
Asif claimed that public opinion in India has turned against Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government after what he termed the “worst defeat in history,” adding that this political pressure is reflected in the aggressive tone of Indian leaders.

He described India’s statements as a “failed attempt to restore a shattered reputation” both at home and internationally.

The remarks came a day after Indian Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi threatened that India would not show the same restraint in a future conflict as it did during Operation Sindoor.
Pakistan’s leadership has strongly rejected these statements, calling them “provocative and irresponsible.”

The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) also condemned the statements made by Indian officials, warning that such rhetoric could endanger peace and stability in South Asia.
“These remarks may be an attempt to fabricate pretexts for Indian aggression,” the ISPR said, adding that India has long portrayed itself as a victim while being “the epicentre of cross-border terrorism and regional instability.”
The military’s media wing further noted that India appears to have forgotten the “wreckage of its own fighter jets” and Pakistan’s demonstrated defence capabilities.
