A major press conference was held at ISPR to mark the completion of one year of Marka-e-Haq, with the ISPR director general joined by officers from the Pakistan Navy and Pakistan Air Force.
The military spokesperson said Pakistan’s armed forces fulfilled the aspirations of the nation and completely defeated what he called an arrogant enemy in a multi-domain war.
At the outset, ISPR DG Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry congratulated Pakistan’s armed forces on the completion of one year of Marka-e-Haq. He said that, by the grace of Allah, Pakistan’s forces were fulfilling the aspirations of the nation.
According to the spokesperson, the armed forces defeated the enemy in line with the vision of the country’s political and military leadership.
He said Pakistan completely defeated the enemy in a multi-domain war, adding that the conflict was not limited to one front, but was fought across multiple domains.
“This war is in the air, sea, cyber and minds,” he said, adding that it had reached streets, villages and cities as well.
'Every child knows what Pakistan did'
The military spokesperson said every child in Pakistan knows what happened during Marka-e-Haq. He added that even children in India know what Pakistan did.
Pakistan’s response was clear, effective and visible to the world, he added. He questioned India’s claims and asked which terrorist camp had actually been targeted.

“India, tell us which terrorist camp was targeted?” he said. India carried out false flag operations one after another without presenting evidence.
According to the spokesperson, the questions Pakistan raised at the time are still before the international community.
The ISPR DG said the FIR of the Pahalgam incident was registered just 10 minutes after the incident. He added that India used the incident to accuse Pakistan without proof.
The spokesperson said India’s drama of accusing Pakistan of terrorism had been buried forever.
India accused of targeting civilians and mosques
The ISPR DG said India targeted mosques, civilians and women during the conflict, while Pakistan took the media to those locations the very next day. According to him, the visits exposed India’s claims and strengthened Pakistan’s position.
The spokesperson said India itself is the biggest terrorist, which tried to build a narrative that it was a “net security provider.” Pakistan, on the other hand, is the biggest ambassador for peace in the region, he added.
Lt Gen Chaudhry criticized Indian leaders, saying their statements made them appear less like politicians and more like fighters. Some Indian politicians raise slogans of Akhand Bharat and speak in threatening language.
“If Indian politicians want to use this language, then come forward,” he said.
India accused of exporting internal problems
He further said India has internal problems that it has failed to resolve, stressing that India oppresses minorities and Kashmiris, including Muslims in occupied Kashmir.
According to him, India presents its internal problems as external issues and raises the issue of terrorism when it cannot address its own failures.
The spokesperson insisted that occupied Kashmir is not India’s internal matter, but a globally recognized disputed issue. He added that India commits terrorism inside its own country and then blames others.
Indian media urged to speak truth
The DG ISPR also criticized Indian media, saying it provides “a lot of entertainment” to the public. He referred to claims beginning from the “port of Lahore,” saying the Navy was still watching how such claims were made.
He said India is banning websites one after another, and urged Indian media to show courage and speak the truth.
The military spokesman said Pakistan was ready during Marka-e-Haq and remains ready today. “No one’s father can harm Pakistan,” he said.
He added that no hostile force would be allowed to harm Pakistan.
The spokesperson said Pakistan gave an effective response to Indian aggression within hours. There should be no doubt about Pakistan’s resolve, he added.
“If anyone doubts our resolve, we have just shown an episode,” DG ISPR said.
He further said there is no room for war between two nuclear power, and described such a war as madness. At the same time, he said Pakistan’s resolve should not be underestimated if aggression is imposed on the country.
Pakistan’s army, leadership and nation united
The DG ISPR said Pakistan’s army and leadership are united. He said many doubts were raised from within and outside the country, but the world saw how Pakistan came together.
“This country, its army and leadership are all one,” he said.
The military spokesperson said the Indian army was sacrificed for politics. He further said India’s political leadership used aggressive rhetoric and military actions for political purposes.
The DG also said that Pakistan’s armed forces remain fully prepared, united with the nation and ready to defend the country against any threat.
"No problem. India can prepare for whichever Sindoor it wants,” he stressed, questioning whether India even knows which “Sindoor” it is preparing for.
He further said the Indian air chief found out after several months that their aircraft had been shot down, calling the Indian air chief as a professional officer.
Pakistan's anti-terror actions in Afghanistan
The military spokesman also said that Pakistan targeted terrorist hideouts in Afghanistan. He said after India was taught a lesson, it called the so-called Afghan foreign minister.
The Afghan Taliban claim to be propagators of Islam, yet they have joined hands with India. He insisted that India and Afghanistan have been badly exposed.
The ISPR chief said terrorist Noor Wali has been misleading people in the name of Islam for many years. He added that Pakistan and its Field Marshal haunt Indians day and night. “They dream about them day and night. They should come out of this mindset,” he remarked.
He added that Indian politicians should give their army a chance to become a professional force.
“We carry out precision strikes. They target civilians through proxies,” the ISPR chief said. He said Pakistan openly and confidently targets precise military objectives.
“In Afghanistan, we targeted terrorist hideouts,” he said, adding that terrorism in Pakistan is being carried out from Afghan soil with Indian backing. He said terrorist incidents have decreased for the first time, adding that cross-border capability is weakening.
The ISPR DG said Pakistan held a press conference on the night of May 11, 2025. “We had said that what you saw in Marka-e-Haq was only 10 to 15%,” he said.
“We are ready. If anyone wants to take a chance, they are most welcome,” DG ISPR added. He also announced that a grand parade will be held on August 14.
“We will show the public a small glimpse of our power and potential,” he added.
