Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Maj Gen Babar Iftikhar is addressing a press conference on the first anniversary of ‘Operation Swift Retort’, which resulted in the downing of two Indian planes that had violated Pakistani airspace on February 27 last year.
“After the Pulwama incident, India blamed Pakistan. We offered all cooperation,” said DG Iftikhar in his first press conference after taking charge of the army’s media wing this month. “But on Feb 26, they carried out a cowardly attack. We were prepared, the surprise they wanted to give to us, we gave them one instead and they retreated.”
“We salute the bravery of all of our soldiers that continue to fight bravely in front of the enemy.
