RAWALPINDI:
Expressing deep concern over the irresponsible statements of the Indian military leadership under immense political pressure, the Pakistan Army warned that “any act of aggression will be met with a swift, resolute and intense response” which will be remembered by posterity.
The ISPR said in a statement that the Indian armed forces and their political masters must understand that the people of Pakistan and their armed forces are fully capable and determined to defend every inch of the country’s territory with complete determination.
“It has been noted with grave concern that five months after Maarka-e-Haq, in the run-up to elections in Bihar and West Bengal, India’s military rulers have started repeating the same delusional, fabricated and provocative propaganda that they regurgitate before every national election in India,” he said.
“It is saddening to see the military leadership of a nuclear-armed country issuing irresponsible statements under immense political pressure. The lies fed to the Indian public and the international public have turned the Indian military machine into a laughing stock,” the text continues.
“Any professional soldier knows that unnecessary chest-thumping and unwarranted statements could trigger a cycle of chauvinism and lead to serious consequences for peace and stability in South Asia,” the statement added.
The statement points out that the contradictions among Indian Army journalists are so obvious that they should not be answered. “Clearly, Indian leaders are trying to shape history to their liking by inventing far-fetched Bollywood-style scenarios,” he said.
“It appears that the Indian army and political leadership have failed to come to terms with the idea that they were decisively defeated at Marka-e-Haq and that their lies were fully exposed.”
