Marka-e-Haq anniversary
Says if anyone wishes to test us, they are more than welcome
Rawalpindi
Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations, Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, on Thursday, said that “no one can harm Pakistan”, as we inflicted a crushing defeat on an enemy five times larger across all fronts, adding that the armed forces were ready to respond to any future aggression.
The term “Marka-e-Haq” refers to the 2025 conflict with India, which began with the April 22 Pahalgam attack and concluded with a ceasefire on May 10 following Operation Bunyanum Marsoos.
Addressing a press conference marking one year since the completion of Marka-e-Haq, accompanied by senior officers of the Pakistan Navy and Pakistan Air Force, he congratulated the nation on the occasion. He said Pakistan had inflicted a humiliating defeat on India across all fronts.
Lt Gen Chaudhry said, “A year ago, we ground India’s pride into the dust. We have always said that no one can harm Pakistan. We were ready then, and we are ready now; if anyone has any doubt, we have shown them one episode of it”.
“Pakistan defeated the enemy on every front and changed the nature of warfare during Marka-e-Haq, stating that Pakistan achieved success in multi-domain warfare across air, land, sea, and cyber domains,” he added.
DG ISPR said India had long propagated a false narrative accusing Pakistan of involvement in terrorism and had conducted false flag operations for this purpose, adding that allegations were levelled against Pakistan within minutes of the Pahalgam incident without investigation.
He further added that India’s “terrorism drama” has been buried forever, calling India itself the biggest terrorist. He challenged India to identify which terrorist camp it targeted, and said that India orchestrated terrorism against its own people to blame others.
The DG ISPR said India was facilitating terrorism and that all terrorist incidents in Pakistan involved India and Afghanistan. He added that Afghanistan’s “so-called” foreign minister sought assistance from India.
He also pointed out that India had failed to produce evidence regarding the Pahalgam incident. He noted that an FIR was registered within ten minutes of the event, yet a year later, no proof had surfaced.
Lt Gen Chaudhry said that what happened in Marka-e-Haq was known not just in Pakistan, but by every child in India and also advised India to speak the truth, adding that Hindutva ideology was being imposed on minorities in India.
Indian politicians appeared more like warriors than statesmen and said India’s professional military had been compromised by politics and India was using Fitna-al-Khawarij and Fitna-al-Hindustan out of frustration over its defeat, he said.
