ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s military spokesperson, Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry has warned that we are a peace-loving nation, however, any repetition of past mistakes by India will be met with a severe response.
Director General Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR) made the remarks while interacting with more than 2,500 students from universities across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa during a special session on Sunday.
Addressing the students, Lt Gen Chaudhry said India thought it could attack and Pakistan wouldn’t respond.
“But you all saw how the nation stood united behind the country. By the will of Allah, a wall of iron was formed, which nullified all the flawed strategies of India and Modi,” he added.
He said that falsehood and truth cannot coexist.
“Some people thought the army and the people were distant from each other — absolutely not. The nation and the army have always stood together and will continue to do so,” he continued.
Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry reaffirmed the nation’s unity, strength, and commitment to peace while warning India against any future misadventures.
Revealing details of Pakistan’s calculated response to Indian aggression, DG ISPR said, “Our leadership decided to retaliate at 26 locations within India.”
Kashmir to become part of Pakistan
He said Indians targeted Muzaffarabad, where a seven-year-old Irtiza was martyred due to shelling on a brigade headquarters. “We destroyed their entire brigade headquarters in response.”
He said on the 6th and 7th, jets from several Indian airbases took off and targeted Pakistani children — we responded by destroying those airbases.”
The ISPR DG stated that the time has come for Kashmir to become part of Pakistan.
Turning attention to regional terrorism, the armed forces spokesperson asserted, “Behind every terrorist attack in Pakistan, India’s face is visible.”
Rejecting false associations, it added, “Those who bomb mosques and slaughter innocents have no connection with Islam nor with the proud traditions of the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. These terrorists are followers of India.”
Ties with Afghanistan
Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry urged Afghan brothers not to provide sanctuary to terrorists in their country and not to become tools of India.
He said: Afghanistan is our brotherly neighbouring Islamic country. Pashtun Afghans are our brothers — the problem lies with the elite. India pays and buys off Afghanistan’s elite, using them against Pakistan. We say to our Afghan brothers, do not give sanctuary to terrorists and don’t become instruments of India. You seek help from a country that dishonours the daughters of Kashmir.
