LAHORE: Pakistan Air Force (PAF) Chief, Air Marshall Tanvir Mahmud said that the PAF was compliant to the government directives and, therefore, it could not take any retaliatory action on its own against the Angoor Adda-like aerial raids.

On the sidelines of the inaugural ceremony of PAF College of Education here, Air Chief Marshall Tanvir Mahmud in a chat with the media said that the PAF on its own could not decide about any operation. The government has to apprise on the diplomatic level of the consequences of such raids, he said. He further said that we want the people gone off track in the tribal areas to get back on the right path.
