We want peace

The prompt responses to the Balakot strike show that our armed forces are vigilant in the face of threats

KARACHI: Our country is fortunate enough to have been blessed with such brave and able armed forces who can safeguard our borders against external threats. The recent show of restraint and the responsible action taken by the armed forces in retaliation for the Balakot strike prove that our armed forces took the best action possible to display its might, and yet prevent casualties. The treatment given to the Indian pilot and the way our government dealt with the situation have gone down well with sane voices in both India and the whole world.

The prompt responses to the Balakot strike shows that our armed forces are vigilant in the face of threats. Despite our capability, we want peace to prevail in the region. It is time that India behaved rationally.
