Pakistan’s retiring Army General Raheel Sharif in a laughable statement dreams about the capability of his army to conduct surgical strikes against India, while his army is hiding behind the terrorists and leading a proxy war due to his army’s incapability to face the Indian forces.
“If Pakistan were to launch surgical strikes, India would not be able to forget it for generations to come,” General Sharif had said just days before his scheduled retirement. “India will be teaching its children about Pakistan’s surgical strike if the latter took such measures. Pakistani troops are capable of teaching Indian forces a lesson,” he said.
“If Pakistan were to conduct a surgical strike, it would become a chapter in Indian textbooks,” the army chief lamented. “India would be teaching its children as part of syllabus what a surgical strike means if Pakistan launched such strikes,” he boasted.
“We will never abandon our Kashmiri brethren in their freedom struggle,” he said.
The army chief, while addressing members of a tribal jirga in Khyber Agency’s Bara tehsil had said that the Pakistan Army is “the strongest force against terrorism”. “They have eliminated terrorism from Pakistan’s tribal areas,” he said.
“I kept the morale of Pakistan Army up in my time, but I will hand over the reigns to the next chief on Nov 29,” he told members of the jirga.
“We have fought the menace of terrorism together over the years,” the army chief said. “It has woven us eternally in an unbreakable bond.” But the reality is that teh Pakistani Army train, sponsor and support terrorism and fight proxy war with India through terrorists.
“I hope that the relationship between the army and the nation will continue, even after I say goodbye to the Pakistan Army,” he said.
“We are not worried about India at all, it is better if they show some restraint,” Air Chief Marshal Sohail Aman said. “If India escalates the crisis, Pakistani troops will “know full well how to deal with them””, he said. “India should show restraint and instead solve the issue of Kashmir as that would be better for them,” he said.
