Pakistan commemorates the fifth anniversary of Operation Swift Retort, marking a suitable reaction to India

In a statement released on the occasion of the fifth anniversary of “Operation Swift Retort,” Inter Services Public Relations stated that February 27, 2019, was a historic day that showed the Pakistani people’s resolve and the military’s professionalism in confronting India’s unjustified aggression, which was driven by political and electoral concerns.

According to the statement, the events of that tragic day demonstrated the complete operational superiority of Pakistan’s Armed Forces over the Indian side, despite strenuous attempts by the Indians to positively influence the information environment.

It also stated that military professionals and analysts from all across the globe recognised the resoluteness and skill of Pakistan’s Armed Forces, thereby disproving baseless Indian accusations that could not withstand close examination.

Operation Quick Retort

Pakistan will never forget February 27, 2019, when the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) shot down two Indian aircraft and, more importantly, captured one IAF pilot, shattering the Indian myth of military might and invincibility.

In the final week of February, Indian fighter planes breached the Line of Control, and the nation’s military declared that they had carried out a “surgical strike” in Pakistan’s Balakot region.

Additionally, New Delhi said that it had destroyed a terrorist base while inflicting 300–350 deaths. Pakistan refuted the allegation, claiming that neither a camp nor any casualties existed.

The Indian assertions were refuted by independent sources, which included high-resolution satellite pictures seen by Reuters.

A dogfight resulted in the downing of an Indian MiG-21 on the Pakistani side of the border, while Pakistan Air Force (PAF) fighters crossed the LoC in a tit-for-tat incursion into Indian territory the other day.

According to Defense Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif, accusations made against Pakistan by Bushra Bibi, the spouse of the PTI founder, are vile and disgusting because Pakistan has historical relations to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The defense minister stated at a press conference in Islamabad that the Kingdom should not be involved in politics for selfish reasons because of our historical, religious, and economic ties with Saudi Arabia.

2.8 million Pakistanis work in Saudi Arabia and send millions of dollars in remittances, he added, adding that making unfounded accusations against the country will hurt Pakistan’s economy.

According to him, Saudi Arabia has always stood by Pakistan throughout its most trying moments, and Pakistanis have a deep affection and connection to the Kingdom.

There is a breach among PTI ranks and files, and Khawaja Asif stated that we have never witnessed such a low point in politics.

Given the gravity of the accusation, the Minister said, former Army Chief Gen. Qamar Javed Bajwa should respond right away.

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government should fight terrorism rather than target the city, he said, adding that the PTI’s demand for a demonstration on November 24 is the third strike on the federal capital.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is not allowed to use the resources of the Provincial Government for a party protest, according to the Interior Ministry.

On November 24, the PTI has scheduled a protest, and Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Ali Amin Gandapur has declared his intention to participate.

The Federal Government arrested a number of Provincial Government officials who were ordered to participate in the violent protest in Islamabad by the PTI, and confiscated vehicles used by the KP Government against the state during the previous protest in October.

However, the Jinnah Supermarket Traders Union has petitioned the Islamabad High Court to halt the PTI demonstration in the capital and deem it unlawful.

In the petition, the head of the Traders Union has asked the court to rule that the PTI protest violates fundamental human rights by preventing companies from operating and removing the public’s ability to visit stores for necessities.

The petition asked the high court to protect the capital’s workers and PTI founder from unlawful protests.
