According to reports, in a recent statement, Tarar emphasised, “There is no question of Pakistan violating the ceasefire.”

“Our brave and valiant forces delivered a resounding response, bringing the enemy to its knees.”

PM Shehbaz extended congratulations to the proud and dignified people of country, saying that the world has been made aware that Pakistan is a sovereign and honorable nation.

The prime minister said that Pak-govt had offered a transparent and impartial investigation to India into the Pahalgam incident and showed patience and tolerance towards India’s baseless allegations.
