27th Feb commemorates resolve of Pakistan armed forces against any aggression: DG ISPR

RAWALPINDI (92 News) – Director General Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR) Major General Babar Iftikhar has said that any misadventure by enemies of Pakistan will always be defeated. In a tweet with the hashtag of Surprise Day on Thursday, the DG ISPR said: “27 Feb commemorates resolve of Pakistan Armed Forces against any aggression. The way we responded on this day is a proof that any misadventure by enemies of Pakistan will always be defeated. Our adversaries will be surprised with our bold responses every time.” https://twitter.com/OfficialDGISPR/status/1232958638995709952?s=20 On Feb 27, last year, the PAF carried out Operation Swift Retort and shot down two Indian Air Force fighter aircraft and dropped bombs within the compounds of Indian military facilities in occupied Kashmir as a warning to the country’s belligerent neighbour. The Pakistani military had lived up to its promise to ‘surprise’ India in wake of any misadventure, saying that ‘uncalled-for aggression’ from the Indian military ‘would not go unpunished’. The operation also resulted in the capture of an Indian pilot, Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman, after his Mig-21 was shot down. The pilot was later handed over to Indian authorities as ‘a goodwill gesture’.
