In a shocking remark, Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif responded sharply to what he described as “provocative” remarks by India’s military and political leaders, warning that India would be “buried under the wreckage of its warplanes”.

In a post on X, Asif described recent comments by India’s military and political leaders as a failed attempt to restore their lost credibility. He also accused the government of stoking tensions to distract people from domestic backlash.

“Pakistan is a state built in the name of Allah, our defenders are soldiers of Allah. This time, India, Inshallah, will be buried under the wreckage of its planes. Allahu Akbar,” he said.

Pakistan has repeatedly claimed victory, without evidence, after India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, striking terror infrastructure and killing over 100 terrorists, in response to the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22. India destroyed several Pakistani drones and jets, and satellite images proved damage to Pakistan’s military airbases.

‘Out Of Turn’ Remarks

Meanwhile, top intelligence sources said Khawaja Asif’s out-of-turn remarks invoking religion and violence are deeply irresponsible and expose his extremist mindset. They said India’s credibility stands on action, not rhetoric.

Sources asserted that India’s armed forces acted with professionalism, restraint and precision, unlike Pakistan, which uses bluster and propaganda to mask internal instability and global isolation.

These statements reflect domestic desperation within Pakistan’s leadership, attempting to divert public attention from its collapsing economy, internal unrest, and credibility, said the intelligence sources, adding that India will not be provoked by such hate-filled rhetoric.

They also warned that any misadventure by Pakistan will invite a decisive, punitive, and proportionate response.

This came after Indian Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi warned Pakistan on Friday that New Delhi will not show the same restraint as in Operation Sindoor 1.0, and that future retaliation would force Islamabad to “think whether it wants to be in geography or not.”

“If Pakistan wants to be in geography, then it must stop state‑sponsored terrorism,” he said, adding that India’s next response would be far sterner than the recent counter-terror operation.

Earlier, Chief of Air Staff Air Marshal Amar Preet Singh revealed that India shot down 12-13 high-tech Pakistani fighters, including F-16 and J-17 jets. He also dismissed Pakistan’s claims of shooting down Indian fighter jets during Operation Sindoor in May as “manohar kahaniya” (interesting stories), and asked the country to prove its claims.

Air Marshal Singh said India struck a large number of their airfields and military installations, and destroyed at least five high-tech fighters, including US-made F-16s and Chinese-made J-17s – along with a AEW&C (Airborne Early Warning and Control) – during the four days of cross-border confrontations.
