“The parliament approved unanimous resolution at a joint session […] this is a long fight and we have to fight at every front.”

The minister said that Indian prime minister Narendra Modi had buried Congress leader Nehru’s India.

Meanwhile, Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor reiterated that the Armed Forces of Pakistan with the help of entire nation were ready to respond to any act [of aggression] by India.

“Pakistan army is fully prepared to confront every misadventure by India […] India’s provocation continues across the Line of Control.”

DG ISPR revealed that Indian soldiers have been deployed at every nook and corner in the valley and the world has been keenly observing human rights’ abuses by the occupation forces.

“At present stage, the biggest issue in Jammu and Kashmir is about human rights’ violations […] the entire region has been turned into a prison,” Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor mentioned.

“By staging a false flag operation, India can take any action along the LoC; however Pakistan armed forces would respond effectively,” he said while refuting impression that Pakistan has been escalating tensions along the LoC.

He urged the international community to put more efforts for resolution of the dispute which is a nuclear flashpoint between arch rivals Pakistan and India.
