PAF’s befitting response

Letter March 02, 2019
War is not the solution of any problem

HYDERABAD: After the Indian aggression, our heroic and spirited Pakistan Air Force gave New Delhi a befitting response by shooting down two of its jets. One of the Indian Air force pilots was also captured by our brave armed forces.

Tensions between the two nuclear powers have escalated quickly. Following India’s belligerence the Pakistani PM iterated that Pakistan will not think but will retaliate instantly. As we then saw our laudable PAF pilots destroy Indian aircraft.

The Modi government must know that Pakistan wants peace. But its violent behaviour and acts of aggression will be responded immediately. The Pakistan armed forces and the whole nation are capable of defending the homeland. The country’s armed forces will never compromise on the motherland and are always ready to face any aggression by the enemies.

India must realise before blaming Pakistan that Islamabad has always given priority to peace. Releasing one captured Indian pilot as a peace gesture is also one of the best examples that our PM has set.

War is not the solution of any problem. The UN and the world community must pressure India to resolve the Kashmir issue as early as possible.
