Shaukat Sultan Quotations

There is no question of Indian army crossing LoC to help rebuild bunkers. All our bunkers are safe and built to withstand artillery shells.

Yes, certainly, to reach out, ... There are many areas we haven't been able to reach.

Now we find out that the casualties might have exceeded 100.

If they (India) agree to that, we will too,

Today it has been proved that all apprehensions (about the presence of NATO troops) were incorrect and false.

There is no danger to our nuclear installations and weapons from earthquakes. They are fully safe.

It could be more prominent in the valley because it is very narrow and aftershocks trigger landslides in the mountains, which have already been cut by the earthquake, ... It kicks up dust due to which local people believe there could be some volcanic activity.

It is a national tragedy. This is the worst earthquake in recent times.

It is a whole generation that has been lost in the worst affected areas,

Our investigation revealed that it was blasting on the roadside by engineers, under way exactly at that time when the helicopters was flying over the area,

Our fighting bunkers are completely intact because their construction is very robust,

Our men returned fire after being attacked by the miscreants, and according to our information between 15 to 20 terrorists have been killed in the retaliatory fire.

Some foreigners were amongst those killed, but we have no information on their origin,

Let me say on record that this is totally fabricated,

We had information about the presence of foreign militants. It was a sting operation and the target was knocked out.

We are handling the worst disaster in Pakistan's history.

This seizure confirms that foreign elements were given shelter by some tribesmen,

Fighting is still going on and we are facing quite a resistance from the other side,

We have to divide into two parts -- one is the relief and the second is reconstruction. He said that the response of the international community in the context of rescue and relief have been commendable,

to beef up security and curtail activities of miscreants.

The step has been taken to enhance security measures on the border before the Afghan elections,

This is a disaster of enormous scale and we have to understand that,

There was heavy resistance from the other side,

This is totally fabricated and there is no question of any Indian soldier crossing the LoC (Line of Control),

It seems the explosion occurred when these people were busy making an improvised explosive device for terrorist activity,

It is reconstruction where the pledges are highly inadequate because reconstruction would require billions of dollars... for houses, infrastructure, hospitals, schools, colleges and police stations, roads and bridges,

It is the biggest-ever disaster in the history of Pakistan,

I totally deny these fabricated and baseless reports. Indian troops have not crossed the LOC. They will they be given any such permission,

The blast was huge enough to kick up dust which the pilot probably misunderstood as rocket fire,

The border is porous. Militants keep on coming and going. That's our main problem.

These people are now on the run, and they will be chased wherever they are,

Induction process of females in signals, electrical and mechanical engineering, inter services public relations, computer and legal branch of army would be completed by June 1.

In some of these villages no house is intact,

Because the damages have been mostly in far-flung areas, it is difficult for the rescue teams to reach those areas,

I am not in a position to say yes or no. We know that media is reporting it, but we have no such information, or any details. We are still investigating this matter.
