Former National Security Adviser Lt Gen (retd) Nasser Khan Janjua has said that India could once again attempt a missile strike against Pakistan, emphasising the importance of continuous vigilance and preparedness.
Speaking at a seminar titled “Pakistan’s Recent Diplomatic Successes, Future Prospects, and Evolving Defence Strategy” at a local hotel in Lahore, the former adviser maintained that India’s internal political situation makes the likelihood of renewed aggression possible.
“New Delhi knows Pakistan has state-of-the-art missile technology and can effectively counter any malicious designs,” he observed, adding that “Pakistan, as the only Islamic nuclear power, will always remain a thorn in the enemy’s side.”
The former adviser, known for his insight on South Asian security affairs, said Pakistan’s standing had risen after recent defence achievements while India had become diplomatically isolated.
He also accused the United States of “dismantling Muslim leadership” across Iraq, Libya, Egypt, and Syria, declaring that Pakistan now represented the “last standing Islamic nuclear power of the Muslim Ummah.”
