“We are not preparing for war. It’s you (India) who is sending war threats. We are not preparing for initiating a war but we have a right to respond to the war threats from your side,” news agency quoted Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations, Major General Asif Ghafoor, as saying at a press briefing..
He also reportedly said that the ‘battle-hardened’ Pakistani army would retaliate in case of any threat.
