Pakistan has reiterated the resolve to safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity at all costs.
The resolve was expressed by Foreign Office Spokesperson Asim Iftikhar Ahmad in a statement on the occasion of third anniversary of Pakistan’s exemplary response to India’s ill-conceived military airstrikes inside its territorial airspace.
The spokesman said Pakistan is a proponent for regional peace and stability but at the same time, its desire for peace is accompanied by strong resolve and capability for self-defence.
He said India, in utter violation of the United Nations Charter and International Law, violated Pakistani airspace on 26 February 2019 and conducted airstrikes inside Pakistani territory.
He said botched attempt at infringing Pakistan’s sovereignty was swiftly riposted by our valiant armed forces.
Not only did Pakistan resolutely safeguarded its sovereignty; it also displayed utmost restraint.
The spokesperson said again on February 27, 2019, two Indian aircraft transgressed the Pakistani airspace.
These two aircraft were shot down by Pakistan Air Force jets.
The captured pilot of one of the downed aircraft was later returned to India as a goodwill gesture.
He said 27th February also serves as a lesson for India that none of its militarism and war- mongering jingoism will go without a befitting response.
