Indian army’s threats termed irresponsible

islamabad — The Pakistan Army’s top brass rejected the Indian army chief’s recent statements on Pakistan as irresponsible, warning they (India) could undermine regional peace.

The statements made by Indian Army Chief Gen. Manoj Mukund Naravane were discussed at a meeting of the corps commanders at the General Headquarters on

Tuesday.

“Taking account of repeated provocative statements of Indian military leadership regarding aggression against Pakistan, the forum termed it as an irresponsible rhetoric with implications on regional peace and stability,” the military’s public affairs division, the Inter Services Public Relations, said after the meeting.

Ever since Gen.

Naravane assumed the command of the

Indian Army on December 31, he has made a number of statements, including one on occupying Azad Kashmir and another about the alleged killing of a civilian porter of his army, Dawn reported on Wednesday.

The Pakistan Army had earlier dismissed as “routine rhetoric” Gen. Naravane’s statement on Azad Kashmir that he had made at his first Press conference and in which he had said his troops could occupy Azad Kashmir in case the Indian parliament mandated the army to do so. —
