India is behind each and every terrorist attack occurred in Pakistan, says Director General of the Inter-Services Public Relations, Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry.
In an interview with a German magazine, the DG ISPR said Pakistan hosted millions of Afghan refugees for 40 years. He said that Pakistan made elaborate arrangements for the dignified return of Afghan refugees to their country.
He said that there is credible evidence that illegal Afghan nationals are involved in terrorism and serious crimes in Pakistan.
In response to a question, Ahmed Sharif said that violent incidents in India are the result of the Indian government’s increasing extremist policies. India always presents its internal issues as external and external issues as internal problems, he said.
The DG said that India is involved in terrorist activities in Pakistan under state sponsorship, adding that there is credible evidence of serving Indian army officers’ involvement in such activities. Pakistan has also presented evidence of Indian terrorism to the international community multiple times, he remarked.
When asked about the Kashmir issue, he urged the international community to play its role in resolving the longstanding dispute. He emphasized that Pakistan rejects all non-state actors across the board.
He said there is no room for any armed groups in Pakistan, adding that no group or individual other than the state has the authority to declare jihad.
The DG said that Pakistan has not only played the role of a frontline state in the war against terrorism but has also made immense sacrifices.
During the recent Pakistan-India conflict, Marka-e-Haq, US President Trump played a strategic leadership role. The US has declared the banned Majid Brigade a global terrorist organization, he said.
In response to another question, the DG said Pakistan has constructive and strategic relations with its brotherly country China.
He said that several terrorists killed in Balochistan were included in the list of so-called missing persons.
DG ISPR shows evidence of US weapons left in Afghanistan being used in terrorism inside Pakistan
After the withdrawal of US forces from Afghanistan, military equipment worth around 7.2 billion dollars was left behind. The stockpile included more than 400,000 small arms, over 22,000 vehicles, and 167 aircraft and helicopters.
According to Pakistan’s military spokesperson, this leftover arsenal has become a serious security concern. In an interview with a German magazine, the Director General of the Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR) presented evidence that US weapons abandoned in Afghanistan are now being used in terrorist attacks inside Pakistan.
The Pakistani military has repeatedly warned that such weapons falling into the wrong hands would destabilise the region. Officials stress that the flow of these arms across the Afghan border poses a direct threat to Pakistan’s internal security.
