Pakistan only responded to unprovoked Indian aggression in self defence under UN Charter: Tarar

ISLAMABAD  -  Federal  Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar said on Saturday that Pakistan was neither aggressor nor provocator, it only responded to unprovoked Indian aggression in self-defence under the United Nations Charter. In an interview with the British Broadcasting Corporation, he said Pakistan was a responsible country which had shown great restraint in the wake of  Indian unprovoked attacks for past four days.  India targeted the civilian population in Pakistan and killed innocent people, including women and children who had nothing to do with anything, Attaullah Tarar maintained.  Pakistan, he added, retaliated in accordance with the UN charter, and it did not target any civilian population in India. “We completely deny, we refute the Indian allegations of targeting the civilian population. We have not attacked any civilian population”, Tarar said. He said Pakistan took action while exercising its right to defend itself, and it only targeted Indian military installations. He said India itself targeted Sikhs holy city Amritsar to give impression that Pakistan had attacked that city.  “We in Pakistan protest and serve their religious site in Nankana Sahib, Panja Sahib and Kartarpur”, he stated.
