Pakistan fought the four-day war with its force and faith. Period. India should look for the debacles it received in the self-created storm in its high command and rank and file, instead of accusing Pakistan of receiving direct military support from China during the intense conflict.
\nSpeaking to graduating officers in Islamabad on Monday, Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir rejected the claim, calling it \u201cirresponsible and factually incorrect\u201d. There are hardly any buyers of Indian narratives around the world.
\nLast week, India\u2019s Deputy Chief of Army Staff Lieutenant General Rahul Singh said that China had provided Pakistan with \u201clive inputs\u201d on Indian military positions during the May conflict. The statement was made at a defence conference in New Delhi and immediately caught global attention.
\nThis is yet another attempt by New Delhi to shift the blame. The allegation has no truth and is only meant to create confusion and drag China into a conflict where it has remained diplomatically neutral.
\nThis is not the first time Islamabad has had to counter such claims. Government officials and military spokespersons have consistently stated that Pakistan acted on its own, without any direct foreign help.
\nIt is no secret that China and Pakistan share close ties, especially in trade and infrastructure. Through projects like the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, China has invested billions in Pakistan. But cooperation in development does not automatically translate into direct military involvement, as India has claimed.
\nThe brief war between the two nuclear-armed neighbours was one of the most dangerous episodes in years. Missiles, drones, and artillery were used, leaving behind damage and raising fears of a wider conflict.
\nThe fighting broke out after an attack on Indian tourists in India-held Kashmir, which India blamed on Pakistan. While India\u2019s relationship with China has been tense since their 2020 border clash, dragging Beijing into South Asia\u2019s rivalry is not only misleading but also dangerous for regional peace. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
