Pakistan Army Chief Rejects India's Claims of External Military Support
Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir has rejected India's claims that Islamabad received external military support, particularly from China, during the recent border clashes in May. Munir called the allegations 'factual incorrect' and 'irresponsible'.
India's Allegations and Response
India claimed that China and Turkey backed Pakistan during the clashes, while Pakistan maintained that its defense capability is entirely indigenous and the result of decades of strategic development. Munir asserted that any attempt to compromise Pakistan's sovereignty would be met with a firm and immediate response.
In Defense of Pakistan's Capabilities
Munir emphasized that military victories are shaped by discipline and national will rather than imported hardware or political posturing. He criticized India for its 'parochial self-alignment' and highlighted Pakistan's principled diplomacy and regional partnerships based on mutual respect and peace.
The clashes between India and Pakistan, sparked by India's operation 'Sindoor' in response to a terror attack, lasted four days and ended on May 10. While India claims a decisive victory, Pakistan asserts that its military operation was entirely indigenous and effective, with no external assistance.
