Pakistan's defense forces "are fully prepared and ready to respond in a befitting manner in case of any aggression from across the borders, and if the war is thrust on us it will be fought in the enemy's territory," President Pervez Musharraf said on Wednesday.
Musharraf made the remarks while inspecting an air base of the Pakistan Air Force on Wednesday.
Musharraf said that the people of Pakistan have always had faith in the ability of the armed forces to inflict unbearable damage to the enemy.
The armed forces and the people of Pakistan will shed last drop of their blood in defense of their motherland and the enemy will be taught a lesson that will never be forgotten by the enemy, Musharraf added.
He said the spirit to sacrifice for the defense of the motherland has always made the difference in the past conflicts and the same will be demonstrated in the future as well.
Referring to the Jammu incident, Musharraf said the enemy has been trying to "create a dangerous situation" in the region by posing such scenes.
