NA unanimously adopts resolution condemning ceasefire violations along LoC

ISLAMABAD:
Defence Minister Khawaja Asif said on Thursday that the “Pakistan Army has the ability to respond befittingly” in regard to the ongoing violations on the working boundary and Line of Control.

“India should not misunderstand Pakistan’s initiative towards peace as our weakness,” said Asif while addressing a session of the National Assembly.

“We are currently engaged in a historic war against militants in North Waziristan, but India should not mistake this as our weakness,” he said.

“We can respond effectively from any side.”

“Both states are nuclear, and should refrain from any kind of misadventure,” the defence minister said. “We do not want the situation to worsen.”
