Federal Minister for Communications Abdul Aleem Khan has strongly reacted to recent remarks attributed to the Indian Army Chief, terming them reckless and provocative.
He warned that any misadventure against Pakistan would lead to a “disastrous outcome.”
Reacting to the statement, Abdul Aleem Khan said the Indian Army Chief’s remarks reflect “New Delhi’s recklessness” and an inability to learn from history.
He said that nuclear-armed Pakistan is a permanent reality of South Asia and cannot be erased through aggressive rhetoric or hostile narratives.
The minister added that the Indian leadership has failed to draw lessons from the past eight decades of regional tensions.
Warning over any military adventure
Abdul Aleem Khan warned that any attempt at aggression against Pakistan would result in severe consequences.
He said the outcome of any “adventure” would be disastrous and emphasized that Pakistan remains fully capable of defending its sovereignty.
He also stated that “New Delhi’s aggressive behaviour reflects frustration and anger of defeat in the battle for truth.”
Support for Pakistan’s defence readiness
The minister praised the readiness of the Pakistan Army, saying it is fully prepared to defend the country under the leadership of Field Marshal Asim Munir.
He reiterated that Pakistan’s defence capabilities remain strong and credible in the face of any external threat.
Abdul Aleem Khan also accused India of trying to destabilize Pakistan, saying such efforts would never succeed.
He further urged India to focus on protecting the rights of minorities, particularly Muslims within its own borders, instead of making regional accusations.
ISPR’s earlier response
Earlier, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) had also issued a strong reaction to comments made by the Indian Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi.
ISPR termed the remarks suggesting Pakistan could be reduced to “geography and history” as irresponsible and dangerous, warning that such rhetoric could destabilize regional peace.
It further stressed that any escalation between two nuclear-armed states would have “severe and two-sided consequences.”
