RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: The Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) has said that the unwarranted statement of a high-ranking Indian Army Officer concerning Azad Jammu and Kashmir is an apt manifestation of Indian Armed Forces’ delusional mindset and showcases the vivid imprint of domestic political showboating on Indian military thought.
In a statement, the Director General ISPR Lt General Babar Iftikhar said that the fallacious remarks and unfounded allegations of so called “launch-pads” and “terrorists” are an attempt to divert attention from Indian Army’s repressive use of force and gross human rights violations against innocent, unarmed Kashmiris striving for their right of self-determination, upheld by International Law and enshrined in UN Security Council Resolutions.
The DG ISPR said that the Indian General Officer’s lofty claims and surreal ambition is intellectually insulting.
Lt General Babar Iftikhar said that Pakistan military is a force for good and a proponent of regional peace and stability.
This desire for peace, however, is matched with our capability and preparation to thwart any misadventure or aggression against our territory, an assertion comprehensively validated on numerous occasions including recently in the Balakot episode, he said.
The director general ISPR said that in the interest of peace for the region, the Indian military would do well to abstain from irresponsible rhetoric and vitriolic communication to shore up electoral support for their political masters’ regressive ideology.
