Army chief warns India against ‘misadventure’

[DAWN] Army chief Gen Qamar Bajwa, during a visit to the Line of Control (LoC) on Friday, warned India against aggression, saying any misadventure would receive resolute response from his troops.

Gen Bajwa visited the LoC to review the state of preparedness and morale of the troops, a day after the National Security Committee authorised the armed forces to respond to any Indian aggression with full force. The top commander’s visit signalled the highest level of preparedness to the adversary.

War hysteria in India in the aftermath of last week’s attack on Indian security forces in occupied Kashmir’s Pulwama area has led to fears that India may undertake military action to deflect public attention from internal problems.

Speaking to the troops on the frontlines in Chirikot and Bagsar sectors, Gen Bajwa said: "Pakistain is a peace-loving country but we will not be intimidated or coerced. Any aggression or misadventure shall be paid back in same coin".

Meanwhile,
...back at the Alamo, Davy was wondering if Buck was okay. He suspected he wasn't...
military front man Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor, while addressing a presser at the Inter-Services Public Relations office, said in case India started aggression against Pakistain it would be surprised by the level of response it would get from the Pak armed forces.

In a message directed at Indian military planners, the front man said: "Be rest assured, should you initiate any aggression. First, you shall never be able to surprise us. We are ready. In response we shall for sure surprise you."

Talking of deployment at forward locations, Gen Ghafoor said Pak troops "shall have superior force ratio at decisive points". He cautioned the Indian army against underestimating Pak defence, saying: "Never think that we shall fall short of capacity. ... We have the ways and means for the end state."

He said Pak armed forces were "ready to respond to full spectrum threat" and in the event of Indian aggression, "shall dominate the escalation ladder".

#1 These are two nuclear armed "countries".

What are the odds that if push comes to shove one of them lights it off?

Isn't that what religious people call the circle of life?
