Pakistan has strongly condemned Indian Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat’s irresponsible and gratuitous remarks about Pakistan. According to Foreign Office Spokesperson Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri, the Indian CDS’s unabated anti-Pakistan vitriol is reflective both of his completely flawed understanding of Pakistan’s realities as well as his patently politicized approach. His tirade is also illustrative of the RSS-BJP mindset, a dangerous mix of extremist “Hindutva” ideology and expansionist “Akhand Bharat” designs. He said that it is a sad fact that this mindset has permeated the state institutions of India, including the armed forces. The Indian CDS’s diatribe against Pakistan cannot divert attention from India’s myriad internal and external wrong-doings.
