Federal Information Minister Attaullah Tarar delivered a hard-hitting speech in the National Assembly, warning India of a strong response to its recent hostilities. He said the enemy is facing “a crushing defeat” and declared that the Pakistani nation stands fully united. “We eliminated 40 to 50 Indian soldiers along the Line of Control (LoC), which is a major success,” he stated.

Highlighting the strength of Pakistan’s air force and national resolve, Tarar said the country’s response would be one the world would not forget. “The Indian Air Force’s pride — the Rafale jets — were humbled by our pilots. The enemy, cowardly and deceitful, strikes from the shadows because it cannot face us head-on,” he added.

He mocked India’s reliance on Rafale jets, calling their failure a “national humiliation.” “It’s not just aircraft that fell — India’s arrogance has crashed,” Tarar said, claiming that even the Rafale manufacturer has suffered reputational damage. “The company’s shares fell by 18%, and they’re now saying, ‘You’ve ruined our image.’”

With a touch of sarcasm, the minister remarked, “We had our ‘fantastic tea’ ready — but when the enemy fled, we delivered it to their doorstep. And make no mistake, the tea is still ready, though the delivery method this time will be different.”

Tarar lauded the Pakistan Air Force and stated that Pakistan’s superiority in conventional warfare has been made evident to the world. He confirmed that 25 Israeli-made Harop drones used by India had been shot down as part of a strategic military response, calling the drone wreckage “war trophies.”

Addressing the situation along the LoC, Tarar revealed that India had suffered heavy losses in recent skirmishes, including the destruction of a brigade headquarters. “India is now waving the white flag — a clear sign of its defeat,” he added.

He strongly condemned India’s attacks on civilian areas but said Pakistan had refrained from targeting civilians in return. “Our response has been precise and effective. The world can now see who the real aggressor is,” he said.

Tarar also drew attention to India’s treatment of its Sikh population, alleging that Indian forces and drones had harmed Sikh civilians. “Voices around the world are rising in protest, and no Sikh wants to fight against Pakistan,” he claimed.

He concluded by stating that Pakistan knows well how, when, and where to respond to the enemy. “Our conventional superiority is now clear. This is not just a military battle — it’s a war to expose Indian propaganda and internal oppression, and we will prevail on every front,” Tarar said.
