ISLAMABAD<\/strong>: Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry lampooned India\u2019s claims of \u201cneutralising\u201d a \u201cterrorist\u201d allegedly linked to the Pakistani military, presenting the individual during a press conference on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The press conference came after Indian media reported that an individual wanted in connection with the April 22 Pahalgam terrorist attack last year had been killed during an \u201cencounter\u201d in Indian Illegally Occupied Kashmir\u2019s Korag area.<\/p>\n

Addressing the media, the DG ISPR said he would talk \u201cabout a so-called terrorist incident, a false flag that has been staged by the Indian political military\u201d.<\/p>\n

He presented a five-point timeline, showing that the whole scenario began on Sept 29.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the night of Sep 29, the Indian corps deployed in IIOK made a tweet, claiming that, based on joint intelligence reports, the Indian Army, police and CRPF launched an operation in general area of Korag, Yousmarg,\u201d he read from a social media post by Chinar Corps.<\/p>\n

The DG ISPR then referred to another post by Chinar Corps on Sept 30 morning that claimed the Indian forces had found the body of a \u201cLashkar-e-Taiba terrorist\u201d.<\/p>\n

The military spokesperson noted that later, India\u2019s ANI<\/em> news outlet claimed that the deceased had been identified as Mohammad Asif, who had been inducted into the Special Services Group (SSG).<\/p>\n

The DG ISPR went on to say that India\u2019s home affairs ministry and Press Information Bureau also reiterated the supposed details.<\/p>\n

India\u2019s home affairs ministry said the neutralisation of \u201cMusa alias Asif Fauji\u201d was part of an \u201congoing long-sustained Operation Sheruwali\u201d that was launched in May.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter six months of hard work, Musa alias Asif Fauji has been neutralised. Congratulations, applause,\u201d Lt Gen Chaudhry retorted.<\/p>\n

He then read out India\u2019s claims of Asif\u2019s so-called involvement in various attacks: \u201cHalan attack August 23, DKG attack December 23, Kandi attack May 2023, Shah Sitar attack May 2024, Shiv Khori attack June 2024, Gagangeer attack October 2024, Boota Pahari attack October 2024, and Basira attack April 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n

The DG ISPR then noted that the Indian government also claimed to have neutralised three other \u201cmembers of the group\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter this [press conference], the shameful characters will have at least the shame to delete this,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n

The DG ISPR also read out the Indian PIB\u2019s narrative, which said their forces had killed \u201cfour senior LeT commanders\u201d.<\/p>\n

He took a jibe at Indian media too for highlighting the claims: \u201cNow they said, \u2018Let\u2019s jump in\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo there comes News18<\/em>, Statesman<\/em>, India Today<\/em>, Hindustan Times<\/em>, ABP Live<\/em>, Indian Express<\/em>,\u201d he said, as he displayed the screengrabs of these outlets\u2019 reports on the matter.<\/p>\n

The DG ISPR then called Asif to join him during the presser, who said he was a resident of Attock district.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo here is that superman. You can see this superman. Please, come, my brother. Tell us about these achievements of yours, what all you have been doing,\u201d Lt Gen Chaudhry quipped.<\/p>\n

\u2018Here, alive and healthy\u2019<\/h2>\n

Speaking before the media, Asif narrated: \u201cYesterday, some friends called me and told me there were reports on social media that I had been martyred by the Indian army in Kashmir.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo their concerns, I responded that I was here, alive and healthy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asif said he also received calls from Indian numbers, asking him for his personal information, identity, whereabouts and his connection with the claims.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough ANI<\/em> on social media, I became aware of the reports that Indian media, using my personal data, had named me as a martyr in an operation in Kashmir,\u201d Asif said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was surprised by whatever was happening as I was sitting in my home,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n

Following the reports, Asif said that he informed his unit about the reports to clarify his position, and the unit asked him to block all the numbers calling from India and said that ISPR officials would contact him.<\/p>\n

Sharing details about himself, Asif said that he joined the Pakistan Army in the year 2000. \u201cIn 2005, I joined the SSG, performed my duty with courage for 18 years, and retired in 2023.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asif added that he had also worked for a private security company for three years. \u201cFor the past three or four months, I have been living with my family in our home in Rawalpindi.\u201d<\/p>\n

He termed the Indian allegations as \u201cfalse, ignominious and disreputable\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI condemn this. By the grace of God, I am alive and present before you.\u201c<\/p>\n

He further affirmed that he performed his duties with courage and that Pakistan responds face to face, not from behind.<\/p>\n

\u2018Six reasons behind such dramas\u2019<\/h2>\n

Taking on the mic, the DG ISPR maintained that there were \u201csix reasons\u201d behind \u201csuch dramas\u201d by India against Pakistan.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a very shameful and embarrassing thing. No self-respecting nation does this.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Explaining the first reason, Lt Gen Chaudhry said that India did those theatrics to \u201ccover its own track of terrorism\u201d. \u201cSo, there has to be some good reason,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndia is the biggest sponsor of terrorism and a terrorist state in the world,\u201c the DG ISPR declared.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd its implication, involvement, direct and indirect terrorism in the region goes back decades,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether it\u2019s Mukti Bahini or LTT, and now the TTP, BLA, and their funding, sponsorship and planning. It (India) has now become a victim of its own trait.\u201d<\/p>\n

The military spokesperson highlighted that this terrorism was also \u201cnow taking on an internal dimension\u201d.<\/p>\n

He elaborated: \u201cThey are not just terrorising the region or countries around the region; they are terrorising the Muslims inside India, and also the Kashmiris, Sikhs, Dalits, Christians, [residents of] Manipur, and tribals.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome country which lives and breathes terrorism is at the same time very afraid that their dark face will be exposed, so they have to cover their tracks. What better way to cover their tracks than to start calling everyone else a terrorist?\u201d<\/p>\n

Lt Gen Chaudhry then played a video clip on the \u201cdecades of lies that they have been feeding to their own people as well as to the world at large\u201d.<\/p>\n

He accused India of jailing Muslim Kashmiris, adding: \u201cThey take them out, kill them, and stage that as a false flag operation, portraying it as a terrorist act.\u201d<\/p>\n

The DG ISPR quipped: \u201cThis time they went ahead; they said this is not very spicy, let\u2019s take an army soldier of Pakistan and portray him as one that we have killed.\u201d<\/p>\n

He then brought attention to India\u2019s involvement in transnational killings, saying, \u201cThis habit of false flag operations has further encouraged India to go for transnational killings.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cEveryone whom they don\u2019t like, they start calling terrorists, because they see their image.\u201d<\/p>\n

The military spokesperson then played a video containing a clip of an Afghan minister saying \u201cour DNA is one\u201d as he referred to India.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is the illegitimate child of this terrorism, which is on our western border,\u201d Lt Gen Chaudhry said, referring to Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause what better opportunity than to give this dirty work to someone who is ready to do it for certain coins and dollars and money,\u201d he retorted.<\/p>\n

The DG ISPR then identified the second reason for the claims as the developments in occupied Jammu and Kashmir, describing it as the \u201cbiggest garrison of the world\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s happening in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir plays a big role in the psyche and in the cognitive domain of these Indians,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor every 10th Kashmiri, there is an Indian soldier or a security person. There are nearly 1 million military, security, and intelligence CRPF and law enforcement there,\u201d he pointed out, noting other acts such as arrests and demolition of houses.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd you cannot subside them; you cannot take out their desire to be counted. It\u2019s a simple desire,\u201d Lt Gen Chaudhry said, noting that Kashmiris wanted the right of self-determination as promised in a United Nations Security Council resolution.<\/p>\n

He stated that New Delhi had to stage such incidents to \u201cportray that Kashmiris have no problem\u201d, whereas the reality was otherwise due to the \u201coppression\u201d being committed against them.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have an internal problem, a great internal problem of oppression, of torture. [But] you don\u2019t want to address it; you want to externalise it. You cannot externalise your internal issues. You cannot put this blame on Muhammad Asif.\u201d<\/p>\n

The third reason, the DG ISPR said, was India\u2019s \u201cobsession with Pakistan\u201d.<\/p>\n

He remarked: \u201cI think Pakistan, over a period of time, has got on their nerves so much that whatever happens, they want to put it on Pakistan.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd therefore, their politico-military leadership imagination and faculties have somehow been constrained and restricted. [\u2026] And that\u2019s why we keep on requesting them very politely, asking them, please grow up.\u201d<\/p>\n

The military spokesperson, as in May last year, urged India to come forward with evidence if it had any behind its claims and allegations. \u201cIf you are not ready to give proof to us, you can give it to any third party,\u201d he offered.<\/p>\n

Lt Gen Chaudhry stated that the fourth reason was New Delhi being \u201cvery much influenced\u201d by Bollywood, adding that \u201cthey have turned into encounter-istan<\/em> from Hindustan\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is the story that is important; the facts are not important to Indians,\u201d he said, declaring claims by India and its media as \u201cfiction\u201d.<\/p>\n

He quipped that for India, the \u201cstory should be clear, the story should be spicy\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere should be action in it; it should be entertaining [\u2026] make the encounter look real, throw in a Pakistani \u2014 just an ordinary Pakistani won\u2019t be fun, let\u2019s put in a havaldar, let\u2019s put in an SSG guard, then it will be thrilling.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fifth reason, as per the DG ISPR, was a \u201cdelusional \u2018Shining India\u2019 complex\u201d that the neighbour had.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey think that they are great,\u201d he said, recalling the field marshal\u2019s remarks that \u201cthey are great without greatness\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are historical without history, and the shine \u2014 this is the shine that you are seeing. It is not shine; it is shame,\u201d he remarked, contending that India presumed it could \u201ccontrol the mind\u201d of others in the world like it controls its media.<\/p>\n

At last, the military spokesperson explained that the \u201cpoliticisation\u201d of the Indian military was another reason behind such tactics.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe cannot comprehend that we would be able to come out with such a story and such claims which don\u2019t exist,\u201c he said.<\/p>\n

He asserted that the Indian brigade, corps commander and army commander allowed this and took responsibility for it \u201cbecause you are a political army now\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour [Indian Army] agenda is Hindutva-driven. Your agenda is pleasing your political masters.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lt Gen Chaudhry added, \u201cUnfortunately, we have to deal with such a wretched and low-life kind of enemy. It is unfortunate that we have such a neighbour who is an encounter specialist.<\/p>\n

\u201c[\u2026] This is what the world, Pakistan, particularly the region, and the world at large is facing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked about whether the recent allegations could trigger another armed conflict between the neighbours, the DG ISPR affirmed that Pakistan\u2019s armed forces were always ready for any such move and warned of a \u201cvery harsh\u201d retribution.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a consequence of this false flag, which has been exposed very early in its infancy, if they want to do anything, most welcome.<\/p>\n

\u201c[\u2026] But let it be clear, and we have clarified it before also, that this time we will not leave them so easily. This time the cost that Pakistan would inflict on their strategic folly will be very, very severe.\u201d<\/p>\n

He reiterated, \u201cIf they think that they want to build this drama, any other drama, and on the basis of that they want to do it, they can try their luck.\u201d<\/p>\n

Indian media\u2019s claims<\/h2>\n

Indian media had claimed that the supposedly slain individual was affiliated with the banned LeT and was a soldier of the Pakistan military. The claim, attributed to \u201csources\u201d, named the individual as Mohammad Asif.<\/p>\n

It may be recalled that Indian media and authorities had made several allegations regarding Pakistani involvement in the April 2025 Pahalgam incident, but failed to substantiate them.<\/p>\n

\u201cMohammad Asif alias Hashim Moosa was born on 07 March 1980. He joined the Pakistan Army in 2000 under service number PA-3106947 and retired with the rank of Havildar,\u201d India\u2019s ANI<\/em> reported on Thursday.<\/p>\n

It also provided a detailed profile of Asif.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2005, Mohammad Asif was inducted into the Special Services Group (SSG). He served with 4 Commando \u2018Yalgar\u2019 Battalion and was posted to Balochistan from 2006 onward. During his deployment in Balochistan, he reportedly participated in approximately 10 operations against Baloch insurgents and is credited with 13 personal kills,\u201d the ANI<\/em> news report stated, adding that Asif was also part of the security detail of former president Pervez Musharraf.<\/p>\n

It was stated by ANI<\/em> that Asif was \u201cwanted in the Pahalgam terror attack\u201d, and the claim was repeated by the Indian Army\u2019s Chinar Corps \u2014 part of the Northern Command and headquartered in occupied Kashmir. The corps primary area of responsibility is the Kashmir area of operations.<\/p>\n

In May 2025, a four-day conflict between Pakistan and India was sparked by an attack on tourists in occupied Kashmir\u2019s Pahalgam, which New Delhi, without evidence, linked to Pakistan.<\/p>\n

Islamabad had strongly denied responsibility while calling for a neutral investigation.<\/p>\n

After New Delhi launched deadly air strikes in Punjab and Azad Kashmir on May 7, Pakistan said it downed at least six Indian aircraft in air-to-air combat, later raising the tally to eight.<\/p>\n

After tit-for-tat strikes on each other\u2019s airbases, it took American intervention on May 10 for both sides to finally reach a ceasefire.<\/p>\n

During that conflict, Indian media had been heavily criticised for beating the war drums and regurgitating fake news fed by Indian government sources. Many mainstream Indian channels had also aired inflammatory anti-Pakistan and anti-Muslim content.<\/p>\n

India\u2019s ranking in the Reporters Without Borders\u2019 World Press Freedom Index has deteriorated sharply over the past decade. The country ranked 122nd in 2010 but fell to 157th out of 180 countries in 2026.<\/p>\n

In April, on the first anniversary of the Pahalgam attack, Pakistan had rejected a renewed Indian propaganda campaign linking it to the attack, deploring that the neighbouring country was focusing on \u201cweaponising its false narrative\u201d in the midst of a regional crisis sparked by the US-Israel war on Iran.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
