COAS Rejects Indian Military’s Hollow Statements

Rawalpindi (TDI): Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Asim Munir on Tuesday rubbished recent “hollow statements” from the Indian military and vowed a befitting response to any “misadventure” against Pakistan.

Indian Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi claimed last month that 60% of the terrorists eliminated in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) in 2024 were allegedly of Pakistani origin.

General Dwivedi further alleged that 80% of the remaining fighters in IIOJK were of Pakistani origin.

The baseless remarks had elicited a strong response from the Pakistan Army.

COAS Munir presided over the 267th Corps Commanders’ Conference at the General Headquarters (GHQ) where the comments from the Indian side came under discussion, according to a statement issued by the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR).

It said the high-level moot took “serious note of the recent reckless and provocative remarks” from the Indian military leadership and termed them as being “irresponsible and detrimental” to regional stability.

“Pakistan Army remains fully prepared to defend the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. These hollow remarks from Indian military are indicative of their growing frustration and serve only to divert the attention of their people and global community from their multiple internal fissures and blatant violations of human rights. Any misadventure against Pakistan will be responded with full and resolute force,” the statement said.

The meeting also discussed the prevailing situation along the Line of Control (LoC) and the Working Boundary near Sialkot.

On the eve of Kashmir Solidarity Day, the forum’s members strongly condemned the continued blatant human rights violations in IIOJK, recognizing them as a serious threat to regional peace and stability.
