ISLAMABAD: Chairman of the Prime Minister’s Youth Programme (PMYP), Rana Mashhood Ahmad Khan, on Thursday said that the world had witnessed Pakistan’s technological advancement during the Maarka-e-Haq, asserting that the country’s defense capabilities were ahead of India’s.
Speaking at an event organized by the business community to mark the commemoration of Maarka-e-Haq, Khan paid tribute to the heroes of Pakistan for their contributions in different fields.
He noted that Pakistan had released India’s hacked systems on humanitarian grounds, adding that the incident demonstrated the superiority of Pakistan’s warfare technology.
