Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has commended the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) for its swift and precise response to Indian aggression, declaring that Pakistan’s armed forces were fully prepared and had advance intelligence of the offensive. Speaking at a special session of the National Assembly, the premier revealed that Indian aircraft, including 80 jets, took part in a large-scale operation across the Line of Control, but were thwarted by Pakistan’s vigilant air defence systems.
“Our armed forces were on high alert round the clock and ready to defend the homeland,” PM Shehbaz said. “We shot down five enemy jets, including French-made Rafales, and also downed two Indian drones.”
Indian Rafale Communications Jammed by PAF
Referring to India’s much-touted Rafale fighter jets, the prime minister noted that while New Delhi had taken great pride in its acquisition, Pakistan had effectively neutralized their advantage during the incursion.
“When their Rafale jets entered our airspace, the Pakistan Air Force jammed their communications,” he revealed. “This reflects the professionalism and preparedness of our forces.”
The prime minister emphasized that despite India’s technological edge on paper, its forces were caught off guard by Pakistan’s superior operational readiness.
India’s Diplomatic Protests Reflect ‘Frustration’
Highlighting what he termed India’s diplomatic hypocrisy, PM Shehbaz disclosed that New Delhi had summoned the ambassador of a friendly country to express its discontent over their support for Pakistan’s peace efforts.
“This reflects India’s frustration,” the premier stated, suggesting that India’s aggression was not only military but also diplomatic, aimed at isolating Pakistan in the international community.
Call for International Investigation Ignored by India
Reiterating Pakistan’s commitment to peace, the prime minister reminded the Assembly that Islamabad had offered a transparent international investigation into the Pahalgam incident in Indian-administered Kashmir, where over two dozen tourists were killed.

“Instead of cooperating, India responded with missiles and aggression,” he said. “Pakistan has nothing to hide—we are ready for any credible, neutral inquiry.”
India Linked to BLA and TTP, Claims PM
Taking a sharp turn in tone, PM Shehbaz openly accused India of supporting terrorist groups operating inside Pakistan. He mentioned clear links between Indian agencies and outlawed outfits such as the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
“These groups have been involved in deadly attacks on Pakistani soil, and evidence suggests they receive backing and coordination from Indian intelligence,” the prime minister alleged.
Silence Over Jaffer Express Attack Slammed
The prime minister also condemned India’s silence over the recent Jaffer Express train bombing, in which dozens of innocent civilians lost their lives. “India didn’t even condemn the act,” Shehbaz said. “Instead of showing empathy, the tragedy was mocked in Indian media and political circles. This reveals their true mindset.”
PAF Chief Praised for Operational Excellence
PM Shehbaz Sharif extended special praise to the Chief of Air Staff for leading a decisive and professional military response. He underscored that the operation not only showcased military strength but also sent a clear message to India about Pakistan’s resolve to defend its territorial sovereignty.
“The PAF not only shot down five enemy jets but neutralized a major offensive involving 80 aircraft,” he said. “Our air defences performed exceptionally, ensuring minimal damage to our strategic infrastructure and civilian areas.”
A Call for Regional Peace—But with Vigilance
Despite the military escalation, PM Shehbaz reaffirmed Pakistan’s preference for peace and stability in South Asia. However, he stressed that peace cannot be pursued unilaterally and must be built on mutual respect and non-aggression.
“We will never initiate conflict, but any aggression will be met with full force,” he said. “Pakistan remains committed to dialogue—but not at the cost of its dignity or security.”
