The Pakistan Army strongly rejected accusations of terrorism made by Indian Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi, calling them baseless and claiming there is no terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan. They urged India to stop living in “self-delusion.”
Both Pakistan’s military and Foreign Office denied General Dwivedi’s statements, which labeled Pakistan as the “epicenter of terrorism” and claimed that 60% of the terrorists killed in 2024 were Pakistani nationals.
General Dwivedi also accused Pakistan of stirring unrest in the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
In a statement, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said, “Calling Pakistan the epicenter of terrorism is not based on facts. It’s just another attempt to blame Pakistan for the local reaction to India’s state-sponsored violence. This is pure hypocrisy.”
The ISPR added that these allegations aim to divert attention from India’s own human rights abuses in IIOJK, targeted killings of Indian Muslims, and international assassinations.
The statement concluded by emphasizing that such actions have only strengthened the determination of the Kashmiri people to fight for their right to self-determination, as outlined in UN Security Council resolutions.
