ISLAMABAD – The statement “We are ready, not to be tested” has taken social media by storm following a strong response from Pakistan’s armed forces to India’s alleged Pahalgam false flag operation. The message, delivered by Director General of the Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR), resonated deeply with the people of Pakistan and has since become a rallying cry for national unity and resolve.
In a vigorous press conference, DG ISPR reaffirmed Pakistan's preparedness to respond to any aggression, stating, “We are ready, not to be tested. This is what we had told in 2019.” He emphasized that Pakistan does not seek confrontation but is always prepared to defend its sovereignty and security when provoked.
“If the enemy thinks that aggression is the only way, then we are ready. Do not test us. We have completed countermeasures in every domain, and we are ready at all times and everywhere,” the DG ISPR remarked. His words were a clear message to India, asserting that Pakistan’s military and people stand united in their determination to safeguard the nation.
The statement quickly gained traction on social media, with the hashtag #WeAreReady trending across platforms. Citizens and social media users alike echoed the sentiment, using the phrase as a symbol of Pakistan’s strength and unity in the face of external threats.
Pakistan has long maintained that it is a responsible country, and DG ISPR’s comments reflect the nation’s commitment to peace and stability. However, the military’s readiness to defend against any aggression remains unwavering. The message served as both a warning and a declaration of resolve, showing that while Pakistan seeks peace, it is prepared for any eventuality.
The rise of the hashtag reflects the collective sentiment of Pakistanis, who are united in their support for their armed forces and their determination to uphold the country’s dignity and sovereignty.
