Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said on Tuesday India was perpetrating terrorism in Pakistan and had levelled baseless allegations about the Pahalgam massacre.
The ISPR DG, at the outset of his presser, shed light on the role of India in orchestrating terrorist activities in Pakistan. He revealed how serving Indian army officers were confessing that India was involved in terror activities in Pakistan – from Lahore to Balochistan.
Explaining the Indian terror nexus in Pakistan, he said how a serving Indian army officer was in continuous contact with a terrorist who was involved in IED blasts in Bhimber and Jalalpur Jattan. He said in these extremist activities, Majeed, the terrorist, received financial compensation from his Indian handlers: Major Sandeep Verma alias Sameer, Subedar Sukvinder alias Sikander and Havildar Amit alias Adil Aman
Further, he provided what he called the ‘irrefutable’ evidence regarding the involvement of India in terror activities in Pakistan.
He stated: “On April 25, an Indian-trained and sponsored terrorist, who was a Pakistani citizen, was arrested near the Jhelum bus stand from whom one IED, two mobile phones, and Rs70,000 were recovered.”
He said India levelled allegation on Pakistan after orchestrating terrosism in Pahalgam and failed to provide any evidence of its claims.
He added that seven days have passed since the Pahalgam attack but not a single shred of evidence has been provided to substantiate the baseless allegations made against Pakistan,” he added.
This significant press briefing by the ISPR DG came at a time when earlier today Pakistan Army shot down an Indian spying quadcopter that intruded into the country’s airspace along the Line of Control (LoC).
Relations between Pakistan and India have soured after attack in Pahalgam, a town in India-occupied Kashmir. At least 26 people were killed when armed men opened fire in the area. India blamed Pakistan for the incident.
Following this, India announced it would suspend the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT). The situation remains serious, and both countries are facing increased tensions.
Earlier, the Pakistan Army claimed to have shot down an Indian spying quadcopter that intruded into the country’s airspace along the Line of Control (LoC).
Security sources said the enemy attempted to spy in Manawar sector in Bhimber area of Azad Jammu and Kashmir when army personnel shot down the drone in a timely action. The action clearly reflects the Pakistan Army’s vigilance, professional expertise, and state of preparedness.
The Pakistan Army is always ready to respond swiftly and effectively to any aggression by the enemy. Security sources added that the entire nation stood by the Pakistan Armed Forces to confront the enemy on every front.
The incident comes as tensions are heightened between the neighbouring countries following the Pahalgam incident in occupied Kashmir, where over two dozen tourists were killed in a gun attack.
Following the attack, the Indian government levelled baseless allegations against Pakistan for involvement in the incident. It also took “irresponsible measures” such as suspending the historic Indus Waters Treaty.
The move met with reciprocal actions taken by the National Security Committee (NSC) of Pakistan, closing the Wagah Border, suspending trade and decreasing the diplomatic staff of Indian Embassy.
