ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s military spokesperson has warned that the country would take control of all six rivers flowing from Kashmir if India violates the World Bank-brokered Indus Waters Treaty (IWT).
In an interview with Al Jazeera, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said that Pakistan’s armed forces gave a befitting reply to Indian aggression.
“India will never forget our response,” he remarked.
He went on the military strategy adopted by Pakistan would be studied for decades to come. He said that Pakistan had successfully thwarted India’s objectives in the recent confrontation, claiming the nation’s military superiority was evident.
“Our armed forces’ morale and superiority over India have further deepened public trust and affection towards the military, which now stands as a symbol of pride and honour,” he said.
The ISPR DG dismissed Indian media’s narratives and said that it ran fabricated stories after the Pahalgam attack.
“The world saw Indian forces waving white flags at several points along the Line of Control,” he added.
He said that Pakistan did not respond in the darkness of night like cowards. “We publicly declared our intention to respond, selected 26 targets, and successfully hit all of them,” he said.
DG ISPR also accused India of launching an information war filled with lies and propaganda. He slammed India’s internal political and social dynamics.
“There is violence against Muslims and other minorities like Christians, Sikhs, and Dalits in India,” he said.
Chaudhry linked rising domestic oppression in India to the emergence of radical elements, saying the Indian government tries to shift blame to Pakistan while ignoring its own internal problems.
“Until India resolves these internal issues and addresses the Kashmir dispute—an international issue involving Pakistan, China, and governed by UN resolutions—true peace will remain elusive,” said the DG ISPR.
