India sponsoring terrorism in Pakistan and beyond: DG ISPR

Director General of ISPR Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry has said India is externalizing its internal problems by blaming Pakistan.

During a briefing to foreign media in Rawalpindi today, accompanied by representatives of the Pakistan Air Force and Pakistan Navy, he said Kashmir is an internationally recognized disputed territory, but India is attempting to internalize the issue.

The Director General of ISPR asserted that India has a history of targeting innocent people for political objectives, blaming Pakistan, and then covering up these actions by further killing innocent Kashmiris and Muslims while portraying them as terrorists. He pointed out that India blamed Pakistan for the Pahalgam incident within minutes of its occurrence, without conducting any investigation.

He also presented video clips featuring Indian citizens, Kashmiris, Indian officials, retired Indian military officers, and politicians, all describing the Pahalgam incident as a security failure on the part of the Indian government. He accused the Indian media of frequently fabricating stories to implicate Pakistan.

Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry further alleged that India has suppressed independent media, banned thousands of X handles, and restricted access to social media platforms operating within Pakistan to ensure that the Indian public only hears the version presented by its own authorities.

He said India is actively sponsoring terrorism within Pakistan, particularly in Balochistan, and is also involved in transnational killings across the world, including in Canada.

The Director General emphasized that Pakistan is the last bulwark state standing against the menace of terrorism not only on behalf of the people Pakistan but the people of the world.  He said India intends to disrupt Pakistan's counterterrorism efforts, which could lead to regional destabilization.
