The statements come a day after General Raheel said that continuous ceasefire violations by India along the Line of Control (LoC) and the Working Boundary could not distract Pakistan from its war on terror, warning that the military could handle two different wars.
General Raheel visited forward locations along the LoC on Thursday where he met with troops deployed on heights overlooking the Kashmir valley.
