Military sources said that the Second World War continued for four years, First World War went on for five years, but Pakistan’s armed forces had been fighting the war against terrorism for 13 long years, and so far, more than 5,000 military officers and jawans had been martyred, while 12,000 had become disabled. They said that neither the US forces nor Nato had rendered such sacrifices, and now they were going to leave Afghanistan. As many as 10,000 of Nato forces personnel were present there in the name of training the Afghan National Army.
On the other hand, state of affairs is being deteriorated after Prime Minister Narendra Modi took charge, through violations on international border and the Line of Control.
Sources said that there was no working boundary between Sialkot and Jammu, and there was international border between the two and India would have to realise that Pakistan would retaliate if war was imposed on it.
Sources further said that Pakistan was fighting a war against terrorists for benefit of the entire subcontinent. In this situation, India would have to resolve the issues of Siachen and Kashmir for peace of the subcontinent through talks.
Sources told The News that nobody should be under misconception regarding the defence capabilities of Pakistan.They said that the war on terror fought by Pakistan Army was for the benefit of Afghanistan, China, Iran and India and these countries should help Pakistan in this war.
The military sources said that Pakistan was an ideology instead of a building; a building could
be destroyed but not the ideology of 200 million people. These sources added that Pakistan’s military was the only military of the world whose officers lead the war from the front.
The sources asked the nation to be united and said that Pakistani military with cooperation of the nation would fail the ill-intentions of its foes.They added that no force could be able to occupy Afghanistan, and Nato and the US forces left the country claiming to win the war.
They remarked that India was facing war hysteria and therefore it was the biggest buyer of arms. They added that India was not buying all these arms due to China.
