India\u2019s \u201cblood and water can\u2019t flow together\u201d mantra, Islamabad added, is a political tool to undermine cooperation on shared resources and obstruct avenues for peaceful diplomacy.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the Indian Army Chief\u2019s remarks on Operation Sindoor, Pakistan said portraying the operation as \u201cjust a trailer\u201d and hinting at harsher future actions reflects dangerous adventurism that threatens regional stability. Indian claims of \u201czero harm to civilians\u201d remain unverifiable and contradict on-ground reports of civilian distress and fear accompanying Indian operations in the occupied territory.<\/p>\n<p>Pakistan further expressed concern over India\u2019s aggressive pursuit of multi-domain warfare technologies and its claims of \u201cstrategic confidence\u201d, warning that such militarization fuels regional arms competition.<\/p>\n<p>Islamabad maintains that its own modernization remains defensive in nature and urged India to match this approach by prioritizing arms control, dialogue and confidence-building.<\/p>\n<p>Referring to General Dwivedi\u2019s attempt to cite Manipur as a security success story, Pakistan said the comparison is irrelevant and a diversion from the ongoing human rights crisis in IIOJK. Widespread communal violence and governance failures in several Indian states, Pakistan noted, expose the fragility of India\u2019s internal security narrative.<\/p>\n<p>Pakistan emphasized that India\u2019s central claim\u2014of 61% of killed individuals being Pakistani nationals\u2014remains unsupported by any public evidence, independent verification or shared intelligence. The absence of transparency, it added, indicates that such figures are crafted to justify harsh military actions and delegitimize Kashmiri resistance.<\/p>\n<p>Pakistan called upon the international community, UN bodies, and global human rights organizations to scrutinize India\u2019s assertions, push for impartial investigations, and work toward a peaceful political settlement grounded in UN resolutions and the aspirations of the Kashmiri people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Islamabad: Pakistan has strongly refuted Indian Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi\u2019s statements at the Chanakya Defence Dialogue in New Delhi, terming them misleading, unverified and aimed at criminalizing the indigenous Kashmir freedom movement in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
