India Responds With Drone Attack On Lahore As Pakistan Air Force AWACS Shot Down

Vikram Misriforeign secretary

This is a country where the lies had begun when it was born. When the Pakistan Army attacked Jammu and Kashmir in 1947, they told lies to the UN that they had nothing to do with it, the people who went in were tribals,

Misri said in Hindi

First of all, it is Pakistan that escalated on April 22. We are only responding to that escalation and...if there is an attempt at further escalation by Pakistan, it will be responded to in an appropriate domain,

Misri told the briefing that was also attended by Col Sofiya Qureshi of the army and Wing Commander Vyomika Singh of the air force, both clad in combat fatigues

And therefore, the choice is entirely that of Pakistan to make,

he said, making it clear that

When our army and UN officials reached there, they saw the Pakistan Army had infiltrated [the region]. Then, they had to acknowledge that their troops were there. This journey started 75 years ago, I’m not surprised that this kind of disinformation is being indulged in,
