ISLAMABAD – Pakistan’s Foreign Office on Friday said India’s defencelimitations were embarrassingly exposed to the world, first during itsmisadventure in Balakot against Pakistan and more recently in Ladakhagainst China.
While reacting to Indian Air Force Chief’s recent irresponsible statementregarding India being ready for a “two-front war” with China and Pakistan,Foreign Office spokesperson Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri said that suchprovocative statements were a true reflection of RSS-BJP mindset, adangerous mix of extremist ideology and hegemonic designs.
Speaking at a weekly news briefing here, he said: “While makingbraggadocio, the Indian leadership must not forget India’s defenselimitations. It is ironic that, certain senior Indian political andmilitary leaders continue to make a career out of issuing provocativestatements against Pakistan at the cost of putting regional peace andsecurity as well as India’s own security at risk.”
