New Delhi: After a powerful and precise action by the Indian Army, Pakistan has signaled surrender. Pakistan’s Defence Minister, Khawaja Muhammad Asif, in an interview with Bloomberg, admitted that if India ceases its military operations, Pakistan will also refrain from taking any further action. He claimed that Pakistan is not engaging in any hostile activity towards India and is merely defending its own territory.
Speaking to Bloomberg, Asif reiterated that Pakistan has made it clear over the past two weeks that it does not intend to initiate any attacks against India. However, he warned that if India does strike, there will be a response.
