Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry has strongly condemned on Friday India’s targeting of innocent Pakistani civilians, calling it a blatant violation of international law and human rights.
The ISPR chief made it clear that Pakistan would defend its national dignity and sovereignty at all costs while speaking to a special media briefing for the world’s media in Rawalpindi.
It was attended by Naval Staff (Operations) Deputy Chief Vice Admiral Raja Rab Nawaz and Pakistan Air Force (PAF) Director General Public Relations Air Vice Marshal Aurangzeb Ahmed.
After the tragic Pahalgam incident in India-held Kashmir, Lt Gen Chaudhry criticized India’s quick finger-pointing against Pakistan without any solid proof.
“While its own actions on the ground reflect aggression against unarmed civilians, India continues to engage in a smear campaign and baseless allegations,” he said, adding that India takes pleasure in the murder of defenseless children.
The army spokesperson went on to say, “Pakistan is a country that values peace, but our restraint should never be misunderstood as weakness.”
“Our armed forces are ready to defend the nation’s freedom and dignity, and we will respond to any provocation with full force.”
“The Indian Rafale squadron commander acknowledged that one of their aircraft was missing after the engagement,” Air Vice Marshal Aurangzeb told the media, claiming to have intercepted an audio conversation of an alleged Indian formation commander who heard an explosion in midair during their operations against Pakistan.
After that, the PAF official aired the intercepted conversations between Indian pilots.
