The Prime Minister of Pakistan congratulated the people on the great victory

Pakistan's Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif called on his compatriots to be proud of the brilliant victory of the national Armed Forces, which demonstrated the highest professionalism in repelling a massive attack by the Indian air force on the night of May 7.

As reported by BAKU.WS with reference to Geo TV channel, the head of government made this statement at a meeting of the National Assembly of the country.

"Last night, India attempted to carry out airstrikes using 80 fighter jets on six different areas of Pakistan, including the region of Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Bahawalpur, Shakargarh, and Sialkot. However, the valiant Pakistan Air Force shot down five aircraft, including three Rafale fighters, one of which crashed in Bathinda district, as well as several unmanned aerial vehicles," Sharif reported.

"Our decisive response confused the enemy and made them realize the power, valor, and strength of Pakistan as a nuclear power, which keeps them awake at night. Our Armed Forces are battle-hardened," emphasized the Prime Minister, noting that Pakistani pilots managed to suppress the communication systems of Indian fighters, forcing them to return to Srinagar.

Sharif specifically noted that "the entire nation deserves congratulations on this great victory, as the Armed Forces demonstrated the highest professionalism and patriotism, acting cohesively after thorough consultations and planning." He added that Pakistan had the capability to shoot down even more Indian aircraft.

The Prime Minister also called on all political forces in the country to unite for the defense of the homeland. He expressed readiness to meet with opposition leaders, including representatives of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party. "This is the perfect moment to show the world that Pakistan is united. This is the only way to make the country great among other world powers," concluded Sharif.
