ISLAMABAD: ISPR on Sunday (17th May, 2026), while responding to Indian Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi’s remarks (made a day earlier) that ‘Pakistan should decide if it desired to be part of geography and history’, reminded that his provocative statement was against a declared nuclear power.
“Contrary to the delusional and hallucinational belief system and despite the omnipresent ill wishes that prevail in Hindutva-led India, Pakistan is already a country of consequence at global level, a declared nuclear power and an indelible part of South Asia’s geography and history”, ISPR maintained.
Media Wing of Military noted that Upendra Dwivedi’s remarks reflected that the Indian leadership had neither been able to reconcile with the very idea of a separate nation, nor it has learnt the right lessons: “This hubristic, jingoistic and myopic mindset has repeatedly pushed South Asia towards wars and crises.”
ISPR further warned: “Threatening a sovereign nuclear neighbour with elimination from ‘geography’ is not strategic signalling or brinkmanship; it is sheer bankruptcy of cognitive capacities, madness and warmongering despite knowing the reality that such geographic obliteration would certainly be mutual and comprehensive…
“India needs to reconcile with the importance of its neighbour and learn to peacefully co-exist with it. Otherwise, any attempt to target Pakistan can trigger consequences that shall neither be geographically confined nor strategically or politically palatable for India...
“Indian narrative conveniently ignores India’s own historically documented record of being a harbinger of terrorism in the region, a state sponsor of terrorism, key source of regional instability, practitioner of transnational assassinations and a hotbed of disinformation campaign across the globe.“
Insinuating towards 2025 skirmish, ISPR held: “Delhi’s aggressive posturing stems less from confidence and more from frustration at its inability to harm Pakistan.”
DG ISPR has asserted on 9th July, last year, that nuclear installations were fully secure. Commenting on attack on Iran, he reiterated that Islamabad fully supported the brother Islamic country. DG ISPR held that New Delhi was pursuing state-sponsored terrorism as an official policy against its neighbour.
He maintained that India’s actions were calculated attempt to destabilise Pakistan, particularly targeting the province of Balochistan. DG ISPR, deciphering Fitna al-Hindustan, told that referred to terrorists supported by India, particularly in the province of Balochistan. Further harboring on the topic he noted that USA and Canada, had recognized India’s involvement in transnational terrorism.
