‘Savagery’: Political leaders unite against Indian aggression, back armed forces
Pakistan’s political leaders have voiced support for the armed forces and showed unity on Wednesday after India launched military strikes on Pakistani soil.
India carried out strikes in multiple locations across Pakistan, leading to the martyrdom of at least eight people and injuring 35 others in various cities of Punjab and Azad Kashmir.
The heightened tensions have drawn the world’s attention to the region, with US President Donald Trump calling the attack a “shame” and China expressing regret over India’s military operation.
At home, despite a clear political divide, leaders from various parties expressed solidarity, demonstrated unity, voiced support for the armed forces, and pledged to defeat Indian aggression.
In a statement on X, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said that the “treacherous enemy” has launched a cowardly attack on multiple locations within Pakistan.
“This heinous act of aggression will not go unpunished. Pakistan reserves the absolute right to respond decisively to this unprovoked Indian attack — a resolute response is already underway.”
“The entire nation stands united behind its armed forces, and our morale and resolve remain unshaken. Our thoughts and prayers are with the brave officers and soldiers of Pakistan.”
