“We broke the back of Khawarij elements in 2021,” the DG ISPR said, recalling the victory over extremist organizations in 2021.

Further DG ISPR said, “Who demanded on talking and dealing with them in 2021?” in reference to previous rulings that allowed extremists to reorganize.

He further criticized the fact that Pakistan is currently bearing the costs of these policies, especially in KP.

Well-Aware Of India’s Danger On The Eastern Front

Pakistan is well aware of the danger presented by Indian assault on the eastern front, according to the DG ISPR. He claimed that India has violated (25) ceasefires and fired (525) times along the Line of Control (LoC) this year alone.

Whereas India has also carried out a number of false flag operations to deflect attention from its internal problems, according to the DG ISPR.

He claimed that RAW, an Indian intelligence organization, has been actively engaged in spreading false information about Pakistan. The DG ISPR criticized the continued abuses of human rights in Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

He said that unlawful activities led to the killing of defenseless young Kashmiris.

The ruling on Kashmir’s special status by the Indian Supreme Court was found to be against international legal standards.

He went on to say, “Kashmiris need international intervention for their right to independence.””Pakistan’s military standing is willing to make any compromise for the country’s defense,” the DG ISPR underlined. Furthermore, during natural disasters, the military still plays a crucial part in disaster relief and administration.
