In a special message on Surprise Day on Saturday, Punjab Law Minister Basharat Raja has said the astonishing performance of the Pakistan Air Force and the Army against India two years ago was commendable and unrivalled.
“After that, the way Prime Minister Imran Khan handed over the imprisoned pilot Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman to India after offering tea, he boosted the national pride and dignity,” the minister said.
Raja further said the incident not only gave the nation a moral victory over India but also made the world believe that Pakistan has the best armed forces.
“We are proud of our Pakistani forces, which on the one hand protected the country's borders from enemy's aggression and on the other hand won the biggest war on terror by sacrificing thousands of our soldiers,” he said.
Raja said in the last two years, Indian Prime Minister Modi had been so humiliated by that incident that he had not dared to pose a challenge and was still busy putting up excuses before his people.
The minister strongly condemned the Indian atrocities against the Kashmiri people. Raja said the struggle of the Kashmiri people for freedom would not go waste.
