Pakistan’s military spokesperson, Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, has accused India of orchestrating terrorism as a state policy to destabilize Pakistan, particularly in regions like Balochistan. In an interview with a foreign media outlet, the Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) claimed that India, under the leadership of its National Security Adviser Ajit Doval, is actively financing and supporting militant groups to incite unrest inside Pakistan.

The remarks came in the wake of a recent bomb attack in Waziristan that resulted in the deaths of 16 Pakistani soldiers and injuries to more than 20 others. The banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility for the attack. Lt Gen Chaudhry alleged that India was behind such incidents by directly facilitating and funding these terrorist outfits. “Pakistan firmly believes India is directly involved in funding and facilitating such terrorist activities on our soil,” he said.

Highlighting the influence of extremist ideologies, he discussed the term “Khawarij,” referring to armed groups that defy the state and manipulate Islamic teachings to justify violence. He emphasized that only a legitimate state can declare jihad and dismissed such militant factions as having no relation to Islam, Pakistan, or humanity.
He referred to India’s actions as “Fitna-e-Hindustan,” accusing it of attempting to create long-term instability in Pakistan through consistent terrorist activities, with Balochistan being a primary target. According to him, Indian leadership has not only acted upon such strategies but has also publicly acknowledged its intent.
Lt Gen Chaudhry also pointed out that several international actors, including the United States and Canada, have recognized India’s role in cross-border terrorism. He labeled this behavior a threat to international peace and called for global attention to India’s actions.
In addition to regional concerns, he condemned the recent Israeli aggression against Iran and expressed Pakistan’s full political and diplomatic support for Tehran. He noted that any aggression toward Muslim nations threatens regional stability.
On Pakistan’s nuclear capability, he assured that the country’s nuclear assets remain secure and beyond threat. He reaffirmed Pakistan’s position as a responsible nuclear power, saying its strategic capabilities form a critical pillar of national defense and reflect the country’s commitment to maintaining regional stability.
