ISPR Unveils Evidence of India’s Role in Sponsoring Terrorism in Pakistan
News Desk
Islamabad: In a significant media briefing on Tuesday, Director General of the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, unveiled what he referred to as “irrefutable evidence” implicating India in sponsoring terrorism within Pakistan.
The military spokesperson revealed details of the arrest of Abdul Majeed, an Indian national detained at Jhelum bus stand on April 25, who is allegedly responsible for orchestrating 47 terrorist operations across Pakistan.
According to Lt Gen Chaudhry, Majeed had received direct instructions, financial backing, and explosives from serving Indian Army officers. Security agencies, he stated, had recovered a 2.5kg bomb, Rs1 million in cash, and an Indian-manufactured drone from Majeed’s possession. These materials, he explained, were meant for future attacks targeting both civilians and security personnel.
The ISPR chief identified Subedar Sukhwinder, an officer in the Indian Army, as the handler of Majeed. Digital forensic evidence, including WhatsApp chat records, were presented to substantiate claims of Indian military involvement in terrorist activities.
Phone Call Exposes Deadly Plot
In the briefing, Lt Gen Chaudhry played an audio recording of a phone call between Majeed and Major Sandeep Verma, a serving officer of the Indian Army. During the conversation, Major Sandeep reportedly discussed financing terrorism, bomb-making methods, and specific targets. “Our goal is to kill as many Pakistanis as possible,” the voice, allegedly that of Major Sandeep, is said to have told Majeed.
The ISPR spokesperson further explained that the coordination of operations stretched from Balochistan to Lahore, with Major Sandeep allegedly operating from Nowshera in Indian-occupied Kashmir.
Details of Terror Plots and Financial Transactions
Lt Gen Chaudhry also outlined several deadly operations funded by Indian handlers. For example, Majeed received Rs600,000 for an attack near Jalalpur Jattan that led to the martyrdom of four Pakistan Army soldiers. Another operation in Bhimber, which left three soldiers wounded, saw Majeed receiving Rs180,000. In March, Majeed was tasked with retrieving bombs hidden in a suspicious bag in Kotli, for which he was provided Rs60,000.
Explosives for various attacks were sourced from locations near Barnala and Head Marala, with online training in terrorism provided by Indian intelligence officers, according to the ISPR chief.
Forensic Evidence
Lt Gen Chaudhry underscored that the claims were supported by extensive digital and forensic evidence, including WhatsApp messages, phone call recordings, and video and audio proof. “This is not a political statement but a matter of national security, supported by robust technical evidence,” he affirmed.
India’s Allegations and Propaganda
The ISPR chief also criticized India for its propaganda campaign following the Pahalgam attack in Indian-occupied Kashmir, which resulted in the deaths of 26 people. He noted that despite a week passing since the incident, India had failed to provide any evidence linking Pakistan to the attack.
Lt Gen Chaudhry accused India of using such incidents to deflect attention from internal issues, including domestic failures and upcoming elections, while simultaneously financing and training terrorists targeting Pakistan.
He concluded by asserting that Pakistan would not allow its peace and sovereignty to be compromised and urged the international community to take notice of India’s state-sponsored terrorism.
