The Pakistan Army has trashed the statement of an Indian military officer, saying they are ready to take back Azad Kashmir from Pakistan and waiting for Indian government’s order. In a raft of tweets uploaded on Thursday, Pakistan Army’s military wing said the unwarranted statement of a high-ranking Indian army officer concerning Azad Jammu and Kashmir is an apt manifestation of Indian armed forces’ delusional mindset and showcases the vivid imprint of domestic political showboating on Indian military thought.

The ISPR director general further said “The fallacious remarks and unfounded allegations of so-called “launch pads” and “terrorists” are an attempt to divert attention from Indian army’s repressive use of force and gross human rights violations against innocent unarmed Kashmiris striving for their right of self determination, upheld by International Law  enshrined in UN Security Council Resolutions.” The ISPR DG said: “The Indian general officer’s lofty claims and surreal ambition is intellectually insulting.

Pakistan military is a force for good and a proponent of regional peace and stability.” He said “This desire for peace, however, is matched with our capability and preparation to thwart any misadventure or aggression against our territory, an assertion comprehensively validated on numerous occasions including recently in the Balakot episode.” He said “In the interest of peace for the region, the Indian military would do well to abstain from irresponsible rhetoric and vitriolic communication to shore up electoral support for their political masters’ regressive ideology.”
