Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi on Wednesday asked India to review its aggression and adopt the path of cooperation and peace.
Speaking to a private news channel the foreign minister responded after, Pakistan Air Force struck Indian targets across the Line of Control from within Pakistani airspace, said a statement from the Foreign Office (FO).
FM Qureshi said that "India attacked the autonomous state of Pakistan, we reserve the right of defence," adding that in an attempt to win the election, BJP has put the regional peace at stake.
“Today the parliament stands united, every individual stands with Pakistan and oppressed Kashmiris.” However, FM Qureshi reiterated that we still prefer cooperation and peace.
“The Pakistani nation has passion, a glimpse of which was seen in 1965 war,” the foreign minister added.
The foreign minister stated that Pakistan will adopt a stance for the future following the National Command Authority meeting which will presided by Prime Minister Imran Khan later in the day.
"Listen!!! India this is the Naya Pakistan. It is the new passion and zeal, the foreign minister stated."
He further informed that he has taken the international community into confidence and informed the international leaderships about India's aggression.
"Every Pakistani has hopes from elected representatives that they will be united under Pakistan's flag," the foreign minister said.
The air force also shot down two Indian Air Force (IAF) fighter aircraft, said the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
The military spokesperson said the Indian aircraft crossed the LoC, the PAF retaliated and two Indian aircraft were shot down in Pakistani airspace.
The wreckage of one of the jets fell within Azad Jammu and Kashmir while the second fell in occupied Kashmir.
Pakistan on Tuesday tore to pieces a ‘reckless and fictitious’ Indian claim that its warplanes have launched “air strikes” against an alleged terrorist training camp deep inside Pakistani territory and inflicted heavy casualties.
The airspace violation by Indian jets capped 12 days of bitter exchanges between the two nuclear-armed hostile neighbours, triggering international alarm, with China and the European Union calling for both sides to show restraint.
