Director General ISPR, Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, has strongly rejected the claims made in journalist Sohail Warraich\u2019s column, stating that Field Marshal Asim Munir neither gave an interview to any journalist in Brussels nor made any statement regarding an apology. According to him, the Brussels event was limited to photographs taken with attendees, and there was no mention of PTI or any apology. He described Sohail Warraich\u2019s claims as a personal publicity attempt and termed it inappropriate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He added that anyone who engages in unlawful activity must be brought before the law. Expressing disappointment, he noted that it was unfortunate for a senior journalist to act irresponsibly. The military, he stressed, is a responsible institution and will not tolerate baseless accusations.<\/p>\n

Lt. Gen. Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry highlighted that Pakistan is a pivotal state in the region and has frequently been subjected to external attacks. He emphasized that the youth must recognize the legacy of an ideological state and realize their strength. Once the youth acknowledge their true power, he said, no proxy or extremist group will be able to instill fear.<\/p>\n

The DG ISPR also stated that those responsible for and involved in the events of May 9 would be held accountable before the law. Quoting the words of the Holy Prophet \ufdfa, \u201cTruth has come, and falsehood has perished,\u201d he said that ultimate victory comes after enduring challenges, and this serves as guidance for the nation\u2019s path.<\/p>\n

He pointed out that Pakistan\u2019s defense budget stands at Rs. 80 billion, yet the country has established itself as a nuclear power \u2014 something that nations like Iran could not achieve despite spending more resources. He remarked that Pakistani youth were deliberately fed the narrative that Pakistan is a failed state, while India was branded as a \u201cShining State\u201d and \u201cVishwa Guru.\u201d This, he stressed, was propaganda aimed at driving future generations into despair.<\/p>\n

According to him, India assumed that with its massive military investment and advanced weaponry, it could easily discredit Pakistan\u2019s military. However, Pakistan\u2019s strong response turned the tables, leaving India\u2019s proxies and its credibility damaged.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
