Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif sparked controversy with fiery remarks targeting India, saying, “Pakistan is a state built in the name of Allah, our defenders are soldiers of Allah. This time, India, Inshallah, will be buried under the wreckage of its planes. Allahu Akbar.” The minister shared his comments on X, framing them as a response to what he described as India’s failed attempts to regain credibility following recent statements by Indian military and political leaders.

Asif accused the Indian government of stoking tensions along the border as a distraction from domestic political challenges. “The statements by Indian military and political leaders are a failed attempt to restore their lost credibility,” Asif wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

“After such a decisive defeat with a score of 0–6, if they try again, the score god willing will be much better than before. … This time India will be buried under the wreckage of its own planes.”

India’s Military And Political Warnings

His remarks came in the wake of comments made by India’s army chief, General Upendra Dwivedi, who addressed soldiers near the Pakistan border on Friday. Dwivedi warned that Islamabad must halt its alleged support for terrorism if it wanted to “remain on the world map.”

General Dwivedi also emphasised that India would not exercise the same restraint it had during Operation Sindoor. During that clash, the Indian army claimed it struck nine facilities inside Pakistan, killing more than 100 Pakistani soldiers and militants.

Earlier on Friday, India’s Defence Minister Rajnath Singh had also issued a stern warning, asserting that India “can cross any border whenever necessary” to protect itself.

Pakistan Army Responds

The Pakistan Army responded on Saturday, as reported by news agency PTI, calling the Indian statements “delusional, provocative, and jingoistic.” The army said: “In the face of highly provocative statements of the Indian Defence Minister and its Army and Air Chiefs, we caution that a future conflict might lead to cataclysmic devastation. In case a fresh round of hostilities is triggered, Pakistan shall not hold back. We shall resolutely respond, without any qualms or restraint.”
