The ISPR Director-General is holding a press conference in Islamabad alongside Director General Public Relations (DGPR) of the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) Air Vice Marshal Aurangzeb Ahmed and Deputy Chief of the Naval Staff Operations Rear Admiral Raja Rab Nawaz.
Lieutenant General Chaudhry addressed the ongoing accusations from India regarding the Pahalgam attack. He revealed that immediately after the Pahalgam incident, India hastily blamed Pakistan without any evidence. The attack took place at 2:20 PM, and just 10 minutes later, an FIR was registered with Pakistan being accused, despite no solid proof. He pointed out the absurdity of how Indian media jumped to conclusions, claiming Pakistan’s involvement without any real investigation or evidence.

He raised serious questions about the credibility of Indian media, which started blaming Pakistan even before any investigation was conducted. He noted that Indian channels have turned into platforms for chaos, sensationalism, and drama, rather than providing factual reporting. Chaudhry emphasized that India’s media and politicians are fueling false narratives, which have left the Indian public questioning their government’s motives.
According to Lieutenant General Chaudhry, videos from the occupied Kashmir region raised concerns about the suspicious role of the Indian military in the Pahalgam incident. Kashmiri citizens themselves questioned where the Indian army was when the attackers left the area. The public’s frustration with the Indian government’s lack of answers is growing, as they see the situation being handled poorly, with no legitimate response to the real questions posed by the people.
Furthermore, Lieutenant General Chaudhry revealed that Pakistan had offered to cooperate with India in a transparent investigation. Pakistan even proposed that a third party could conduct the investigation to ensure impartiality. However, India refused this offer, showing their reluctance to provide proof or cooperate, instead choosing to escalate tensions.
Pakistan’s stance remains clear: India is using baseless accusations against Pakistan to divert attention from its internal issues and to further its own political agenda. Lieutenant General Chaudhry pointed out that India has used similar tactics in the past, citing the killings of Sikhs during President Bill Clinton’s visit to India as an example of India’s historical use of violence for political gain.
He also reminded the international community of the false flag nature of the Pulwama attack, which India falsely blamed on Pakistan. Evidence, including confessions from Indian generals and retired officials, has pointed to the fact that the attack was orchestrated within India to frame Pakistan. The international community must recognize these tactics and hold India accountable for its lies and aggression.
Lieutenant General Chaudhry further exposed India’s involvement in terrorism within Pakistan. He mentioned that before the Pahalgam incident, a Pakistani intelligence operation had led to the arrest of an Indian spy in Jhelum, who was found with electronic devices and explosives. This was a clear indication of India’s ongoing role in supporting terrorism in Pakistan. The involvement of Indian intelligence officers in terrorist activities has been confirmed through intercepted calls, where Indian agents admitted their role in promoting violence and attacks in Pakistan.
Pakistan’s response has been firm and restrained, with a focus on defending its territorial integrity and safeguarding innocent lives. While India continues to target civilian populations, including children and women, with its unprovoked attacks, Pakistan has only targeted military installations in self-defense. Lieutenant General Chaudhry also pointed out that India’s airstrikes have jeopardized the lives of innocent civilians, including passengers aboard commercial flights, by launching attacks in civilian airspace.
In conclusion, Pakistan’s armed forces will continue to protect the country’s dignity, freedom, and sovereignty against India’s baseless allegations and acts of aggression. The international community must recognize the dangerous and provocative actions of India, which seeks to escalate tensions with false narratives and reckless military actions.
