Islamabad: Deputy Prime Minister (DPM) and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said had forces not asked to exercise restraint then 15 planes of enemy would have been shot down instead of 5.

" 75 to 80 fighters of India fired on border and response was given to them. War remained for one hour on border. Our air force gave befitting response. Targeting Neelum-Jhelum project by India is grave violation and double criminal act. We never took initiative and attacked. We have only given response to the attack launched against us. What Indian planes have been shot down , they had dropped their pay load in Pakistan, he said this while talking in parliament Wednesday.

We have informed UN Security Council (UNSC) by writing a letter, he stated.

I talked to foreign ambassadors at night soon after Indian attack. I have talked to foreign minister of Spain. I have told situation to OIC.

We have shot down the planes of enemy worth million of dollars. Tit for tat reply will be given to the enemy.

We summoned the Indian Charge d'Affairs and handed over protest to him.

We have proved we are responsible nation , he observed.
