Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), Pakistan military’s media wing, on Wednesday expressed strong concern over the Indian military leadership’s “delusional, fabricated and provocative propaganda” ahead of upcoming state elections in Bihar and West Bengal.
In a statement, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said it had been noted “with grave concern” that five months after Marka-e-Haq, the Indian military had once again started “parroting the same fabricated narratives” that surface before every state election in India.
“It is saddening to see the military leadership of a nuclear-armed country issuing irresponsible statements under immense political pressure,” the ISPR said.
The statement added that the “lies being fed to the Indian public and international audience have turned Indian military machine into a laughing stock,” warning that “unnecessary chest-thumping and unwarranted statements might initiate a cycle of jingoism and lead to serious consequences for peace and stability in South Asia.”
Calling the Indian Army’s press briefing “contradictory and baseless,” the ISPR said the remarks “should not be dignified with a response.”
“Evidently, the Indian leadership is attempting to mould history to its liking by inventing outlandish, Bollywood-style scripts,” the statement read, adding that India’s military and political leadership “have not reconciled with the idea that they were decisively beaten in Maarka-e-Haq and that their falsehoods have been fully exposed.“
The ISPR asserted that “the world now recognises India as the true face of cross-border terrorism and the epicentre of regional instability, bent upon adventurism and hegemonism to the detriment of its people and its neighbours.”
Reaffirming Pakistan’s commitment to defend its sovereignty, the statement warned New Delhi against any misadventure.
The Indian Armed Forces and its political masters must realise that Pakistan’s people and its Armed Forces are fully capable and committed to defend every inch of our territory with full resolve,” the ISPR said, adding,
“Every act of aggression will be dealt with a swift, resolute and intense response that will be remembered by posterity.”
