MT Desk: Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Lt General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said Pakistan possesses “credible evidence” that serving Indian army officers and illegal Afghan nationals are involved in terrorism and serious crimes inside Pakistan.In a detailed interview with an international, Lt Gen Chaudhry noted that Pakistan had hosted millions of Afghan refugees for four decades and repeatedly extended the deadline for their voluntary return on humanitarian grounds.
He said the original reasons for asylum—foreign interference and civil war—“no longer exist”.DG ISPR accused India of state-sponsored terrorism, stating that violent incidents within India stem from extremist policies and that New Delhi seeks to portray internal issues as external.
“Authentic evidence has emerged of serving Indian army officers involved in terrorist acts in Pakistan,” he said, adding that Islamabad has presented this proof to the international community multiple times.Lt Gen Chaudhry urged the global community to help resolve the Kashmir dispute and warned that Indian state institutions, including the army, are influenced by extremist political ideologies.
He stressed that Pakistan rejects all non-state actors without discrimination and that no group or individual other than the state may declare jihad. “There is no place in Pakistan for any militia or armed groups,” he said.Highlighting Pakistan’s sacrifices as a front-line state in the fight against terrorism, Chaudhry said weapons left in Afghanistan after the US withdrawal are now being used in attacks, a matter over which the United States has expressed concern.
He also recalled US President Donald Trump’s leadership role during periods of Pakistan–India tension and pointed to Pakistan’s constructive, strategic ties with China.
Chaudhry added that the United States has designated the banned Majeed Brigade a global terrorist organisation, and that several slain militants of “Fitna-e-Hindustan” in Balochistan were listed among so-called missing persons.
