Calling Pakistan’s retaliation against India justified, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister (FM) Ishaq Dar said on Saturday that Pakistan had to give a befitting response to India after it lost its patience following the latter’s repeated acts of aggression. 

Talking to media, Dar said that the entire world was witness to Indian bellicosity. He said that during his meeting with the Saudi foreign minister, the Indian FM had told him that his country did not want hostilities between India and Pakistan to escalate.  

The deputy PM informed that he had told the Saudi FM that if India carried out another attack, Pakistan would not hesitate to launch a counterattack. “Similarly, we have also told US Secretary of State Marco Rubio that Pakistan will not sit idle in the event of Indian aggression.”  The foreign minister said that Pakistan downed 80 Indian drones last night.
