DG ISPR Major General Asif Ghafoor, in a tweet, had stated that the voluntary cuts in the defence budget for the next financial year will not be at the cost of the country’s security.
“We shall maintain effective response potential to all threats,” he tweeted. “[The] Three services will manage impact of the cut through appropriate internal measures.”
