The chief of staff of the army (COAS), Marshal Asim Munir, categorically rejected allegations of foreign support in operation Bunyanum Marsoos against India, qualifying them “irresponsible and factually incorrect”.
“Inshrue of external support in operation Bunyanum Marsoos are irresponsible and factually incorrect. They reflect chronic reluctance to recognize indigenous abilities and institutional resilience developed during the decades of strategic prudence, “he said.
Last week, the deputy chief of the Indian army, the LT General Rahul Singh, admitted the military defeat of India to the operation, further complicating the attempt of India already unsuccessful to conceal his humiliation.
The declaration of Lieutenant-General Singh, made two months after the failure of the operation, included basic charges against Pakistan, saying that his success was the result of the foreign support of China and Turkey.
However, security experts rejected these allegations, reaffirming rather than Pakistan’s victory was entirely carried out by its own strength.

According to inter-service public relations (ISPR), Marshal Munnir made these comments while addressing graduates of the National Security and War Course at the University of National Defense (NDU) in Islamabad on Monday.
Stressing India’s failure in Operation Sindoor and Pakistan’s success in Operation Bunyanum Marsoos, Munnir noted that India’s inability to achieve its military objectives declared during Operation Sindoor – and the subsequent attempt to rationalize this deficity and convoluted logic – volume on its lack of operational preparation and strategic peripheral.
“Named other states as participants in the purely bilateral military conflagration is a unfortunate quality attempt to play camp policy and to desperately try that India remains the beneficiary of a greater geopolitical challenge as a supplier of net security in a region which is becoming more and more tiring of its Hinduttrée Hinduttrée Hegmonic and extremist ideology,” he added.
On the other hand, Munir said: “Pakistan has forged lasting partnerships according to diplomacy in principle, anchored with mutual respect and peace, establishing itself as a stabilizing force in the region.”
He reiterated the position of Pakistan, warning that “any mishap or attempt to compromise the sovereignty of Pakistan or to violate its territorial integrity will be encountered by reflexively with a rapid and resolved response – without any constraints or inhibition”.
“Any attempt to target our population centers, military bases, our economic poles or ports will instantly invoke a deeply injured and more than reciprocal response,” said the Coas.
The Marshal Munnir also declared that the burden of climbing will reside squarely on “the strategically blinding arrogant aggressor which does not recognize the serious repercussions of these provocative actions against a sovereign nuclear state”.

The coas have affirmed that wars are not won through media rhetoric, imported fantasy material or political sloga, but by faith, professional competence, operational clarity, institutional force and national resolution.
Marshal Munnir concluded his speech by expressing his confidence in professionalism, morale and preparation for the fight of the Armed Forces of Pakistan. He urged graduate agents to remain firm in their values of integrity, altruistic service and unshakable commitment to the nation.
According to the army media wing, the Marshal in the field was warmly received by the president of the NDU when he arrived.
The COAS also welcomed the role of NDU in strengthening civil-military synergy and the future education of leadership capable of fighting hybrid, conventional and sub-conventional threats with balance and resolution.

The last escalation between Pakistan and India began on April 22, when a Pahalgam attack killed 26 people. India immediately blamed Pakistan for the incident. However, Pakistan categorically rejected the Indian blame.
In response, India has undertaken a series of hostile actions the next day on April 23, including the suspension of the 65-year-old Industry Water Treaty (IWT), canceling visas for Pakistani citizens, closing the border crossing of Wagah-Attari, ordering the closure of the Pakistani High Commissioner in New Delhi and reducing diplomatic staff in the embassies of Pakistan.
