But we also have the full right to defend ourselves.”Accusing India, he said that terrorists including those from the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) are present in Afghanistan, and the nature of terrorism in Pakistan is similar to that in India. He cited Kulbhushan Jadhav as living proof of India's involvement in terrorism.The Defense Minister claimed that leaders of the Baloch Liberation Army and Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan are currently receiving medical treatment in India.“Let there be no doubt – we are fully prepared to respond to any Indian operation,” he declared.Asif further stated, “If India takes any step, we will respond just as strongly as we did during Pulwama in the past.
