LAHORE – Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has said that he is a direct eyewitness to many incidents of the Pakistan-India war.
While addressing a seminar in the provincial capital, Mohsin Naqvi highlighted the crucial role of intelligence agencies during wartime, noting that despite their sacrifices, some people still criticize them unfairly.
He revealed that Pakistan possesses video evidence of six Indian fighter jets being destroyed.
“We saw the aircraft falling on radar but decided not to make any announcement until solid evidence was obtained,” he said, adding that the armed forces gave a strong and fitting response to Indian aggression.
The minister further stated that Pakistan was aware of India’s plans well in advance.
India fired seven missiles at one of Pakistan’s airbases, yet none hit their target.
“Wherever we had no valuable assets, not a single missile landed,” he explained.
He stressed that Pakistan never targeted civilian populations during the war.
Naqvi added that during the attack on Noor Khan Airbase, Pakistan suffered no losses, except in one incident where soldiers embraced martyrdom, while the armed forces successfully achieved all objectives against India.
Paying tribute to military leadership, he said that Pakistan’s victory was made possible by the brilliant strategy of the Field Marshal.
“I can testify that the Field Marshal provided outstanding leadership throughout the war,” he affirmed.
He also accused India of sponsoring terrorism inside Pakistan, but assured that security forces are taking robust action against such activities.
Meanwhile, Speaker of the Punjab Assembly, Malik Muhammad Ahmad Khan, stated that during times of heightened tensions, friendly countries extended strong support to Pakistan.
He said the Pakistan Air Force humbled India’s arrogance by downing its fighter jets.
