ISLAMABAD
\nFederal Minister for Railways Muhammad Hanif Abbasi Friday said that the entire nation stands united with the Pakistan armed forces and will deliver a befitting response to any Indian aggression.
\nSpeaking in the National Assembly, he said that the people of Pakistan are united for the defense of the country\u2019s borders and sovereignty. \u201cIndia\u2019s true face has been exposed to the world. \u201cIndia should not be under any illusion,\u201d he said, adding that while Pakistanis may have differing views on various issues, the defense of the country\u2019s borders is non-negotiable and a matter of national consensus.
\nHe paid tribute to the Pakistan army, Air Force and Navy for their effective and strong response to Indian aggression. \u201cToday, we must send a clear message to the enemy that martyrdom is the ultimate goal and desire of a true believer,\u201d he said.
\nHanif Abbasi strongly condemned India for launching cowardly attacks under the cover of darkness, saying that the Pakistani nation salutes its brave defenders. He condemned Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, labeling him the \u201cButcher of Gujarat\u201d and accusing him of shedding the blood not only of Muslims but also Christians and Sikhs.
\nHe said that India targeted Pakistani women and children, whereas Pakistan\u2019s response was limited to military targets. Hanif Abbasi referred to incidents like the Pulwama attack as Indian fabrications and called India the \u201cworld\u2019s biggest terrorist state,\u201d accusing it of spreading terrorism in Nepal, Australia, Canada and the UK.
\nHe said that there is evidence of Indian involvement in terrorist activities in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and reiterated warnings previously given to Indian facilitators. \u201cFor every soldier martyred, we will eliminate a hundred enemies,\u201d he said, adding that Indian forces are now panicking while spreading propaganda about downing an F-16\u2014something they could not even come close to.
\nHe said that Pakistan would retaliate at the time and place of its choosing and firmly rejected all terrorism-related allegations against the country. Hanif Abbasi said that terrorism tends to spike whenever the BJP is in power in India and accused the Indian government of staging incidents to sway elections. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
