Senator and Chairman of the Senate Defence Committee Mushahid Hussain has acclaimed the role of the Pakistan Navy which successfully detected and chased out an Indian submarine after it tried to enter Pakistan’s territorial waters in the Arabian Sea.
Talking to the media, Senator Mushahid said that he also spoke in the Senate on this issue. The Indian submarine, apparently on a spying mission, tried to sneak into Pakistan’s territorial waters but it was successfully traced, monitored, pursued and then forced to flee without damaging Pakistan’s national security.
Senator Mushahid Hussain during his meeting with the Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Zakaullah and other naval commanders, personally congratulated the Pakistan Navy for showing exemplary vigilance, operational preparedness and decisive leadership, which helped counter the Indian navy’s efforts.
The senator added that in the context of the CPEC and the pivotal role of the Gwadar port, the Pakistan Navy’s role will be truly significant in promoting the CPEC through a strengthening of the port at Gwadar.
