Will tell India what surgical strike is with befitting response: Hafiz Saeed

Lahore: JuD chief and mastermind of the 2008 Mumbai attack on Friday warned India of a "befitting response" for its military operation in PoK, saying Prime Minister Narendra Modi will now know what is meant by "surgical strikes".

"We will tell you what a real surgical strike is and you will get the deserved response soon," Saeed said in a public address in Faisalabad.

"I want to tell Indian media to see soon how Pakistani Jawans conduct surgical strikes. Let me tell you the United States will not be able to help you," he said, a day after India conducted surgical strikes on terror launch pads across the Line of Control (LoC) in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

"Now it is Pakistan's turn to give a befitting response to India. Narendra Modi will now know what is meant by surgical strikes," Saeed said.

India on Thursday carried out surgical strikes on seven terror launchpads across the LoC, inflicting "significant casualties" on terrorists preparing to infiltrate from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
