He said Pakistan can thwart any "evil design" to undermine its sovereignty.
He strongly condemned the "unprovoked and naked aggression of Indian forces along the Line of Control".
Meanwhile the Pakistan military said two of its soldiers were killed in ceasefire violation by India along the LoC today.
In New Delhi, India said it has conducted surgical strikes
on terror launch pads last night across the LoC and inflicted significant casualties and heavy damages.
