Sharif Admits BrahMos Strike Pre-Empted Pakistan’s Plan; India Rules Out Talks Over Terror

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has admitted that his army was caught off guard during India’s military strikes on his country. Sharif said Indian missile strikes appeared to have pre-empted a planned Pakistani attack. Pakistan army, Sharif recollected, had planned to “respond to Indian aggression” at dawn on May 10. However, even before dawn, India hit various provinces of Pakistan with its BrahMos cruise missiles, the Prime Minister added.“On the night of May 9-10, we decided to respond in a measured fashion to Indian aggression. Our armed forces were prepared to act at 4.30 in the morning after Fajr prayers to teach a lesson. But before that hour even arrived, India once again launched a missile attack using BrahMos, targeting various provinces of Pakistan, including the airport in Rawalpindi”, Shehbaz Sharif said.The Pakistani prime minister made these remarks at an event in Azerbaijan, the third stop during his ongoing four nation tour. n18oc_world n18oc_crux0:00 INTRODUCTION2:55 “MY NAME IS FAMOUS IN THE ENTIRE WORLD”4:08 SHARIF CALLS FOR TALKS WITH INDIA “FOR THE SAKE OF PEACE”
