Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari stated he rejected military advice to hide in a bunker during a May confrontation with India following 'Operation Sindoor'. He asserted Pakistan's readiness for battle and sacrifice, responding to Prime Minister Modi's warning. Zardari claimed Pakistan's armed forces delivered a 'befitting reply' during the hostilities. India's 'Operation Sindoor' involved strikes on terror camps in Pakistan and PoK after a terror attack. Zardari's remarks were shared by Baloch leader Mir Yar Baloch.
