LAHORE: Punjab Information Minister Azma Bokhari has said the Pahalgam incident in IIOJK despite the presence of 700,000 Indian troops is a glaring testament to the Modi government’s failure.
Speaking at a press conference at the DGPR, she said from Afzal Guru to Pahalgam, every Indian allegation against Pakistan has been debunked, and India has consistently failed to provide credible evidence. India has repeatedly tried to build a false narrative against Pakistan, from the Samjhauta Express bombing to Pathankot and Pulwama attacks, without presenting substantiating proof. The DG ISPR recently exposed India’s planted terrorist operatives with concrete evidence. Even Indian military generals have admitted that several Indian attacks were staged and fabricated. The Pakistani nation and its armed forces remain resolute. The public will soon be informed about issues like the Jaffer Express incident. Referring to recent tensions, she said the enemy cancelled its planned exercises after Pakistani jets took to the skies, demonstrating Pakistan’s readiness. “Our military doesn’t wear uniform just for a paycheck. It stands ever-ready to sacrifice for nation. Pakistan will thwart every enemy plot and protect every inch of its territory.” She said Lahore recently achieved global recognition as one of the safest cities in the world. It is now being rated cleaner than New York and Sydney and by June, with the completion of Safe City Project, all major cities in Punjab will be secured. According to Numbeo Crime and Safety Index, Lahore has recorded a 50% reduction in crime, with serious crimes like robbery and murder decreasing by 64%. CM Maryam Nawaz has lauded Lahore Police for this achievement and reaffirmed the government’s commitment to maintaining law and order.
