Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR), Lieutenant General Ahmad Sharif Chaudhry, has accused India of actively funding and supporting terrorism in both Pakistan and Canada. Speaking at a high-level press conference with senior officials from the Pakistan Air Force and Navy, he alleged that India is running a deep-rooted, state-sponsored terrorism network to advance its political interests.
He pointed to historical incidents—such as the targeted killing of Sikhs during President Bill Clinton’s visit to India—as evidence of India’s use of false flag operations and manipulation to push political narratives. The DG ISPR stated that India is backing militant groups like the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), which he referred to as “Fitna al-Khawarij,” while also operating terrorism training camps within Indian territory.
General Chaudhry named Aslam Achhu, a known militant allegedly being sheltered by India, as one of the key figures involved in orchestrating attacks in Pakistan. He said India’s strategy often includes targeting civilians and then falsely implicating Pakistan to gain political mileage.
Referring to the recent Pahalgam incident, he said that Indian authorities lodged a First Information Report (FIR) against Pakistan within ten minutes of the attack—despite the police station being 30 minutes away from the site—raising doubts about the credibility of the accusation. He emphasized that India has yet to provide concrete evidence of Pakistan’s involvement in such incidents.
The DG ISPR stated that Pakistan had offered an independent investigation into the Pahalgam attack, but instead of cooperating, India intensified its oppression of Kashmiris. He accused Indian forces of forcibly detaining Kashmiri Muslims, labeling them as terrorists, and subjecting them to torture and extrajudicial killings.
He concluded that India’s aggressive actions against Pakistani civilians are a tactic to distract its domestic audience from internal issues.
