Lashing out at unprovoked Indian strikes that left at least 31 civilians martyred and 57 injured, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday pledged that every drop of martyrs’ blood shed in the attack will be accounted for.

Axar.az reports, citing Geo, in a televised address to the nation, PM Shehbaz said that India had committed a grave mistake last night by resorting to aggression and thought that Pakistan would back off, but New Delhi would have to face the consequences of its actions.

“India forgets that Pakistani nation had the brave sons who always fought for the respect and defence of the motherland by shedding the last drop of their blood,” the premier added.

He said the entire world witnessed that within few hours, their enemy though large in numbers was bowed down after Pakistan Air Force (PAF) eagles shot down five Indian combat jets and reduced them to pile of fragments and ashes which was once considered as their pride.

The PM stated that in one-hour fight on the Line of Control (LoC), PAF pilots while flying inside territory and with display of bravery and professionalism, reduced enemy’s jets to ashes. In conventional warfare, Pakistan also proved its superiority over its enemy.

“The timid enemy is attacking innocent people. Pakistan has proved how to respond with solid blow,” he added.
