Pakistan rejects Indian claim of 'surgical strike' near Balakot
2019-02-27
[NATION.PK] A meeting of the National Security Council (NSC) chaired by Prime Minister Imran Khan
... aka Taliban Khan, who ain't the sharpest bulb on the national tree...
on Tuesday rejected Indian claims of targeting an alleged terrorist camp near Balakot.

The meeting, chaired by the premier in the wake of India's violation of the Line of Control (LoC), was attended by the top civil and military leadership, including Army Chief General Qamar Jawed Bajwa and ministers of defence and foreign affairs.

A handout released after the NSC meeting stated the forum strongly rejected Indian claims of targeting an alleged terrorist camp near Balakot and the claim of heavy casualties. Once again Indian government has resorted to a self-serving, reckless and fictitious claim, the handout added.

This action has been done for domestic consumption given the election environment, putting regional peace and stability at grave risk, the NSC said.

The claimed area of strike is open for the world to see the facts on ground. Domestic and international media is being taken to the impact site, it added.

The forum concluded that India has committed uncalled for aggression to which Pakistain shall respond at the time and place of its choosing.

To take the nation on board, the govt has decided to requisition joint session of the Parliament, the handout released after the NSC meeting further stated.

PM Imran has summoned a special meeting of National Command Authority (NCA) on February 27. PM has directed that elements of national power, including the Armed Forces and the people of Pakistain, to remain prepared for all eventualities.

The premier has decided to engage with global leadership to expose irresponsible Indian policy in the region, the handout further read.
