No one should forget Pakistan’s befitting response to India’s Balakot misadventure
Pakistan has condemned the comments of the new Chief of Army Staff, General Manoj Mukund Naravane, regarding the ceasefire violations by Pakistan and the Indian Army’s preparedness to meet any threats.
A press release by the Pakistan Ministry of Foreign Affairs has called the comments made by new Indian Army Chief “irresponsible” and stated that “there should be no doubt about Pakistan’s resolve and readiness to thwart any aggressive Indian move, inside its territory or AJ&K.”

Indian new Chief of Army Staff, General Naravane hours after taking over while speaking to news agency ANI on Tuesday, 31 December 2019, alleged that Pakistan’s proxy war will not last long.
“As far as our neighbour is concerned, they are trying to use terrorism as a tool of state policy… as a way of carrying out a proxy war against us while maintaining deniability. However, this state can’t last long, as they say, you can’t fool all the people, all the time,” he said.
He also blamed Pakistan for the ceasefire violations and said the Indian army is aware of terrorists “waiting to cross over” and is “fully prepared to meet the threat”.
