Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry tells foreign media Indian intelligence agency officers, from terrorist training camps, are directing terrorists to carry out attacks in Pakistan and beyond Says New Delhi actively involved in transnational killings across the world including in Canada 33 civilians martyred so far in unprovoked Indian aggression India attacked our mosques, desecrated Holy Quran Indian acts are in blatant violation of international law Not a single Pakistani soldier martyred in combat: DG ISPR 77 Indian drones have been shot down.
ISLAMABAD – Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said on Friday that India is externalising its internal problems by blaming Pakistan.
During a briefing to foreign media in Rawalpindi, accompanied by representatives of the Pakistan Air Force and Pakistan Navy, he said that Kashmir is an internationally recognised disputed territory, but India is attempting to internalise the issue.
The ISPR Director General said that India has a history of targeting innocent people for political objectives, blaming Pakistan, and then covering up these actions by further killing innocent Kashmiris and Muslims while portraying them as terrorists. He pointed out that India blamed Pakistan for the Pahalgam incident within minutes of its occurrence, without conducting any investigation.
He also presented video clips featuring Indian citizens, Kashmiris, Indian officials, retired Indian military officers, and politicians, all describing the Pahalgam incident as a security failure on the part of the Indian government. He accused the Indian media of frequently fabricating stories to implicate Pakistan.
Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry further said that India has suppressed independent media, banned thousands of X handles, and restricted access to social media platforms operating within Pakistan to ensure that the Indian public only hears the version presented by its own authorities.
He said India is actively sponsoring terrorism within Pakistan, particularly in Balochistan, and is also involved in transnational killings across the world, including in Canada.
Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry emphasised that Pakistan is the last bulwark state standing against the menace of terrorism not only on behalf of the people Pakistan but the people of the world.
He said India intends to disrupt Pakistan’s counterterrorism efforts, which could lead to regional destabilisation. The DG ISPR said India shut down the X and other social media platforms because it does not have the patience or moral courage to listen to people.
He said Pakistan will not allow that after every two years an incident occurs and India starts attacking without providing evidence. He said 33 innocent civilians including 5 children and 7 females have been martyred so far in unprovoked Indian aggression against Pakistan.
Showing pictures of children martyred in Indian aggression, the DG ISPR said the world must remember these little Pakistani shuhada before asking Pakistan what it is going to do. He said India attacked our mosques, desecrated Holy Quran. Indian acts are in blatant violation of international law.
Giving details of Indian attacks, the DG ISPR said our proud Air Force took on the Indian aircrafts with five of them shot down including 3 Rafale, one Mig 29, 1 SU30, one large combat UAV and multiple smaller UAVs. He said whatever sophisticated weapons India is sending, we are converting everything to debris and we will continue doing it.
He said we have responded to Indian aggression and are continuing to respond but we are very careful because we do not believe in targeting innocent people. He said neither our religion nor our culture or morality, allows us to target innocent people and holy places.
Showing footages of Pakistan’s precise response, the DG ISPR said we are precisely targeting only Indian military targets, the ones from where Pak civilians are being targeted.
On this occasion, Air Vice Marshal Aurangzeb Ahmed of Pakistan Air Force briefed the newsmen about Pakistan’s aerial response, debris of Indian jets shot down by Pakistan and also exposed Indian media’s false and ridiculous stories about Pakistani missiles.
DG ISPR Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhary said India’s design behind blaming Pakistan for Pahalgam and its subsequent actions, is clear as it wants to distract Pakistan from war against terrorism so the Indian proxies like Fitna al Khwarij and BLA can increase their activities.
Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif said that at least 60 Indian aircraft were in flight at the time of the attack and were engaged by Pakistan. He also played audio of a Rafale pilot’s communication during the briefing.
The military spokesman further said terrorist training camps are operating inside India, from where Indian intelligence agency officers were directing terrorists to carry out attacks on public places. He further unveiled a series of serious allegations against New Delhi.
The DG ISPR has said that “dozens of evidence” is available for the “horrific stories” of Indian-sponsored terrorism in Pakistan. The military spokesperson added that “for each and every incident we can tell you how the Indian hand was involved.”
The DG ISPR has alleged that as the Pahalgam incident was happening, instructions were issued to terrorist organisations “sponsored and abetted” by India to ramp up activities against Pakistan.
The DG ISPR has said that not a single Pakistani soldier has been martyred in combat casualties so far amid the recent escalation with India. “There are injuries, but not any martyrdom on our side,” the DG ISPR said. The DG ISPR has said that the military has neutralised 77 Israeli drones sent by India so far.
“We are taking each one of them out. Not one of them has been able to go back to India and not one of them will be able to go back.”
