Former National Security Adviser Lieutenant General (Retd) Nasser Khan Janjua has warned that India may once again launch a missile attack on Pakistan, urging the government and defense institutions to remain vigilant.He made these remarks while speaking at a seminar titled “Pakistan’s Recent Diplomatic Successes, Future Prospects, and Upcoming Defense Strategy.
”Lt Gen (Retd) Janjua said that India is fully aware of Pakistan’s possession of state-of-the-art missile technology and its ability to respond effectively to any hostile move. “After the recent conflicts, Pakistan and its armed forces have earned greater global respect, while India has become increasingly isolated,” he said.
The former adviser added that the United States has eliminated much of the Muslim world’s leadership and devastated countries like Iraq, Libya, Egypt, and Syria, while also targeting Iran. “Pakistan is the only Islamic nuclear power in the Muslim world, which is why it remains a major concern for its enemies,” he remarked.Highlighting regional tensions, Janjua warned that “India’s internal political situation makes it impossible to rule out the likelihood of another attack on Pakistan.”
Air Marshal (Retd) Sajid Habib, while addressing the seminar, termed the India-backed banned outfit Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) a global threat. He warned, “If India attacks this time, we will shoot down 70 of their aircraft.”Foreign affairs analyst Muhammad Mehdi described Pakistan’s balanced relations with both China and the United States as a diplomatic achievement, but noted that “much work still needs to be done.”
