Two days after Indian Army chief warned Islamabad that it will be erased from the world map if it continues sponsoring terrorism, Pakistan Defence Minister Khawaja Asif on Sunday (October 5, 2025) cautioned New Delhi against any future military conflict, saying India would be “buried under the wreckage of its warplanes."
Mr. Asif’s response came days after Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Army Chief Gen. Upendra Dwivedi cautioned Pakistan against any misadventure.
Mr. Asif took to social media to respond sharply to what he called provocative statements from New Delhi’s top security establishment.
He termed some recent statements by Indian military and political leaders as a “failed attempt” to restore their lost credibility, which in his words was a result of “pressure” after defeat in the May clashes.
“The statements of the Indian military and political leadership are a failed attempt to restore their tarnished reputation. After such a decisive defeat with a score of 0-6, if they try again, the score, God willing, will be far better than before,” he wrote. He, however, did not elaborate what he meant by score of 0-6.
