Amid rising regional tensions following the Pahalgam attack, Pakistan’s military leadership has issued a firm warning, declaring that the country’s armed forces are fully prepared to defend its sovereignty at any cost.
DG ISPR Criticizes Indian Narrative
At a joint press conference in Islamabad, Director General Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR) Lt. Gen. Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, alongside Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar and Foreign Office Spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan, strongly criticized India for politicizing terrorism-related incidents. He accused India of exploiting such events to manipulate public opinion and gain electoral advantages.
Gen. Chaudhry stated that India follows a predictable pattern: “Blame Pakistan, claim credit, and win elections.”
Questions Raised Over Credibility
The DG ISPR challenged the credibility of India’s claims about the recent Pahalgam incident. He pointed out that the attack site lies over 230 kilometers from the Line of Control, making India’s timeline implausible. He also criticized the immediate filing of an FIR—within ten minutes—with language suggesting premeditated blame, such as the use of the term “handler.”

Social Media and Media Manipulation
He further accused Indian media of crafting a narrative within minutes, relying on a zip-line operator’s video and using suspicious social media accounts that had previously predicted attacks with unusual accuracy. These same accounts, he noted, had amplified anti-Pakistan rhetoric during the Jaffar Express incident.
Human Rights Concerns
Lt. Gen. Chaudhry condemned the alleged detention of innocent Pakistani citizens in Indian jails. He claimed India has staged fake encounters, tortured detainees, and coerced confessions to frame Pakistanis as terrorists.
Regional Impact and Intelligence Alert
Calling India a “terrorist state,” the DG ISPR said Indian operatives have been activated within Pakistan, based on credible intelligence. However, he reassured that Pakistan’s armed forces and intelligence agencies remain on high alert and continue monitoring the situation closely.
