Director-General (DG) Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) Major General Asif Ghafoor on Friday said that Pakistan does not wish to go to war, but in case of an attack from across the border, Pakistan has full right to respond and will respond as the nation’s wants the army to.
Addressing a press conference in Rawalpindi, DG ISPR said that India leveled baseless allegations against Pakistan after the Pulwama Attack. He said Pakistan took so long to respond to Indian accusations because the state institutions wanted to investigate the matter first and then issue a reply to India.

“The false rhetoric that Pakistan is preparing for war is being spread in India, when in fact, it is them who are threatening to go to war. Pakistan is not preparing to go to war, but in case of Indian aggression of attack, the country’s forces will act as the nation wants them to,” DG ISPR said. He said Prime Minister Imran Khan has given full authority to the armed forces to act as required in case of Indian attack.
