Islamabad Pakistan’s Army Chief Asim Munir said on Monday that the claim of external support to Islamabad during the recent military conflict with India is ‘factualically wrong’. Addressing the graduate officers at the National Defense University in Islamabad, Munir indirectly targeted India, saying that any adventurous or effort to weaken Pakistan’s sovereignty would be responded with quick and strong response without any hesitation.

The Pakistani Army chief said, “The allegations about external support in Pakistan’s successful operation Banyanam Marsus are irresponsibly and factually incorrect and reflect his old reluctance in accepting indigenous ability and institutional flexibility developed at the decades strategic discretion.” He said, “It is also a poor attempt to make other countries a partner in purely bilateral military conflicts…”

It is worth noting that a few days ago, Lieutenant General Rahul R Singh, Deputy Chief of the Indian Army, said that Beijing provided active military assistance to Pakistan during Operation Sindoor and used the struggle as a laboratory for testing various weapons systems.

Munir claimed that unlike India’s strategic behavior based on ‘narrow self-comprehension’, Pakistan has established a permanent partnership on the basis of theoretical diplomacy, which is based on mutual honor and peace and has established itself as a stability in the region.

Munir said, “Any attempt to target our residential areas, military bases, economic centers and ports will be immediately responded to.” He said that war is not won by media rhetoric, imported fancy hardware or political slogans, but is won through trust, professional capacity, operational clarity, institutional strength and national resolution.
