On Friday, the Pakistan Army claimed that India violated the Line of Control (LoC) 25 times last year. During a year-end press conference, Army spokesman Lt Gen Ahmad Sharif Chaudhry said India has been aggressive and warned that Pakistan would respond quickly if India attacks. However, he did not provide specific details to back up his claims.
Chaudhry reported that in 2024, Pakistani security forces killed around 925 terrorists but lost 383 of their own soldiers in almost 60,000 operations. Most of these operations are taking place in the regions of Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where the military is fighting against insurgents.
The spokesman alleged that India also conducts “false flag operations,” which means they perform fake military actions to blame the other side. He said these operations are often promoted on social media by accounts linked to RAW, India’s intelligence agency. Chaudhry added that the Pakistani military is capable of responding strongly to any Indian attack.
He also accused India of using harsh methods to control independence movements, particularly in Jammu and Kashmir. On the other side, India has accused Pakistan of supporting terrorism in its territory.
Chaudhry further claimed that the Indian government is targeting minorities, including Sikhs, both in India and abroad. He stated that this year saw the highest number of terrorists killed in the last five years and that security forces are conducting about 170 operations daily to prevent terrorist activities.
Additionally, 73 important terrorists were killed, including 27 from Afghanistan, while another 14 surrendered. He also criticized the Afghan Taliban for supporting terrorist groups like Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and urged Afghan leaders to stop these terrorists from using their country as a base.
Since September 2023, Pakistan has expelled 815,000 illegal Afghan migrants and is working on a plan to control border crossings better. Chaudhry mentioned that discussions with Afghanistan are happening both directly and with the help of other countries.
In his remarks, he indirectly blamed former Prime Minister Imran Khan for the recent rise in militancy, saying the country is suffering because of past discussions with rebels and the resettlem
