Pakistan has declared that there would be no peace between Pakistan and India until the Kashmir issue is resolved and that China is also a party to the decades-old Kashmir dispute along with India, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
Addressing a joint news conference with Interior Secretary Aftab Durrani in Islamabad on Friday, ISPR Director General Lt-General Ahmad Sharif Chaudhry made it absolutely clear that India cannot casue any harm to Pakistan.
The interior secretary said India is sabotaging peace in the region and Fitna al-Hindustan was behind the deadly bombing of a school bus in Khuzdar, targeting innocent children.
The ISPR Director General said India has been involved in “activities” aimed at sabotaging peace in the region. He said Indian state-sponsored terrorism against Pakistan has been ongoing since the inception of the country. “In 2009, the Pakistani government had handed a dossier of irrefutable evidence to then Indian prime minister. The publicly disclosed documents that were released in 2010 are part of history.”
There is no fight for rights in Balochistan, it’s Indian proxies who are creating troubles, said the DG ISPR.
In 2016, he said, the world saw another ugly face of India-sponsored terrorism in Balochistan in the name of Kulbushan Jadhav, a serving Indian naval officer. “Then in 2019, a dossier full of evidence was presented to the United Nations. Very recently, the international media has seen self-giving confession and acknowledgement of multiple surrendered terrorists of this Fitna al-Hindustan. This is what happened on May 21 on the orders of Hindustan, done by the terrorists of Fitna al-Hindustan,” he added.
“Is there any humanity, morality, any Baloch or Pakistani identity in this?” the DG ISPR asked, adding “In the aftermath of the despicable terrorist attack on a school bus in Khuzdar on the early morning of May 21, this cowardly attack targeted innocent children of our future resulting in the tragic loss of six children and injuries to 31 others. Let me be unequivocal that this was not an attack on a bus alone, it was an attack on our values, on our education and the very fabric of our society.”
The DG ISPR said: “On behalf of the government of Pakistan, I extend my deepest condolences to the families of the victims, we share their grief and we stand by them in this hour of immense suffering. The Ministry of Interior in close cooperation with the provincial authorities and the law enforcement agencies are looking into all of this dastardly attack.”
Ahmad Chaudhry said initial findings confirmed that this attack was a continuity of a broader pattern of violence sponsored by India through Fitna al-Hindustan operating under the tutelage and intelligence of the Indian intelligence agency RAW. “Having miserably failed in Operation Sindoor, the terror proxies of Hindustan have been tasked to accentuate their heinous attacks of terrorism in Balochistan and elsewhere. Let me be absolutely clear here, the people of Pakistan will not let them succeed. Pakistan and its people, particularly in Balochistan reject this nefarious design. The state has the capacity and the will to dismantle these networks and bring the preparators and their handlers to justice. Such actions will have consequences.”
The DG ISPR said in the past couple of years, having suffered immense casualties in their attempts against hard targets, Fitna al-Hindustan has resorted to hitting soft targets wayfarers, labourers working on development projects, infrastructure and machinery to paint a picture of loosening control of the State. “Much against the tradition and culture of the Baloch, these terrorists have stooped so low that innocent schoolchildren have now been targeted. I assure you that the State in collaboration with the provincial governments and the state apparatus will defeat them,” he added.
“These Indian-sponsored terrorists have no place in Pakistan and our national discourse. We have commitment to bring an end to this violence. Our resolve is firm and our response will be decided. They will not succeed,” he maintained and added India was “planning and instructing” the terrorist activities taking place in Pakistan, adding the funding for the activities was also provided by India.
Ahmad Chaudhry asserted that the Khuzdar attack had nothing to do with the Baloch identity, rather it was just India’s provocation.
He said that on April 12, 2024, 12 labourers were martyred in Nushki. On April 28, two labourers were killed in Tump Kech. On February 14, 10 people lost their lives in an IED blast in Harnai.
Innocent civilians and off-duty security personnel were martyred in the Jaffer Express attack, while three innocent barbers were martyred in Lasbela on May 9, he mentioned.
Six children were martyred in the Khuzdar attack on May 21, and 51 children were still fighting for their lives, he added.
He said that terrorists, acting on Indian instructions, were now targeting women and children. However, the resilience of the people of Balochistan could not be broken. Videos of the families of those martyred in Balochistan were shown during the press conference.
Ahmad Chaudhry recalled that the attack on Chinese envoy in Karachi in Oct 2024. He said, “The Indian social media accounts affiliated with RAW posted about the attack prior to the terrpr strike.”
He added that the same thing happened during the hijacking of Jaffar Express. “Before the Jaffer Express incident occurred, they were saying: ‘Keep an eye on Pakistan today and tomorrow’,” he added.
The DG ISPR said Mahrang Baloch has been exposed as a proxy of terrorists. “She was the one who came seeking dead bodies of the terrorists killed in Jaffer Express hijacking incident. Who is she to seek the corpses?” he asked.
“Now we have left with no other option but to deal with these terrorists. When we can give a befitting response to India then we can also handle these terrorists,” he maintained and added India is using terrorism as a weapon against Pakistan.
“We are ready if India wants to show aggression again,” he said and added “Baloch are our brothers and live in our hearts.”
Responding to a question about Indus Waters Treaty, the DG ISPR said “Only a mad man can think about stopping water flow of 240 million people.”
Director General of the Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR) also presented evidence of India’s involvement in terrorism in Balochistan.
In the recording, a serving Indian Army officer, identified as Major Sandeep, is heard speaking with an operative based in Balochistan. They discussed methods for receiving funding intended for terrorist operations in Pakistan.
Major Sandeep claimed his network was active from Balochistan to Lahore. He warned his operative to exercise extreme caution when handling the funds, in order to prevent the exposure and compromise of another agent.
He also instructed that money should not be received directly into personal accounts. Instead, he outlined a strategy to transfer funds in small amounts to avoid detection by Pakistani law enforcement agencies. DG ISPR said that this is how Indian military is conducting terrorism inside Pakistan. “We have many irrefutable evidences,” he added.
Despite the violence, Chaudhry praised the resilience of Balochistan’s residents, stating that Fitna al-Hindustan has failed to break their spirit.
He vowed that Pakistan’s security forces would decisively counter this “barbaric” terrorism, backed by substantial evidence of India’s involvement. The Khuzdar attack, which left innocent children dead, described as a stark display of India’s “true terrorist face,” prompting renewed calls for international accountability.
Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said Indian social media accounts as well as the electronic media are also on the forefront to stoke terrorism in Pakistan. He showed screenshots of numerous Indian social media accounts and video clips of the Indian media celebrating the terrorist activities in Pakistan, including the attack on Jaffer Express.
