(Web Desk) – Director General of the Inter Services Public Relations (DG ISPR) Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry congratulated the nation on the establishment of the Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) headquarters, stating that it was one of the most important steps towards providing the requisite synergy and jointness for military operations in the country.
Addressing a press conference in Rawalpindi, the DG ISPR said that a narrative of a narcist and delusional man has become security threat as a sick man continued to speak against Security Forces which had defeated 8 times bigger country in Operation Bunanyal Marsoos.
Lt Gen Chaudhry pointed that Imran’s rhetoric was harming the armed forces. He added that, “His ego, his wishes, and frustrations have grown to such an extent that he thinks that the world would cease to exist without him.”
Without naming PTI leader, the DG ISPR said a narcists and a delusional person claimed his personality and dreams were above the state. His narrative has become security threat. He said tweets of a sick man were paddled by India media against Pakistan army.
He said Security Forces does not belong to any ethnic, religious group and culture as people from all over the country and all cultures and religions were part of the Army.
He said Pak Army jawans were laying their sacrifices for the people of the Pakistan as Pak Army come from lower middle class.
He said a narcist is bent upon targeting Armed forces with an aim of creating gulf between army and the people of Pakistan but they will never succeed in it. He urged the Opposition not to drag forces into politics. He made it clear that country has one armed force and there was no alternative.
He said Pak Army was keeping an eye to Hindutva and Khawarij threats on easter and western border.
DG ISPR said in Pakistan jail rules were being held abeyance which is not followed in any other country. He said no state allow meeting with convicts. He said protest and politics are allowed but it should not be threat to security and sovereignty.
He said a political party was targeting Amry which gave crushing defeat to 8 time bigger Army of India. He said a political party does not want that Amry act against Khawarij. He urged the party to speak over public issues. He said PTI narrative was being put up by Indian media day and night.
He said that why a party was demanding talks with terrorists which has wreaked havoc in the country and martyred thousands of civilians and security personnels.
To a question, DG ISPR said Pakistan Army is key institute of the state and it was their responsibility to tell the nation about the facts.
He said remarks of a sick man is always against Amry. He said sick man who used to tell his party leaders that who will speak with Army is a traitor. “His statements have now become a threat to national security,” said the military spokesman.
He criticised that individual — without taking any names — saying: “That person’s politics is over. He is a prisoner of his own ego and impulses.” The DG ISPR reiterated that the Pakistan Army must be kept away from politics, stating: “We will not allow anyone to create a divide between the state and the people. The Pakistan Army stands between the people and the sedition of the terrorists.”
He further said that whoever attacks their own army must answer whether they intend to create space for an enemy’s forces. Emphasizing the Army’s resolve, he said: “Let it be absolutely clear: no one’s narrative will be allowed to prevail against the state any longer.”
The ISPR chief declared that the forces did not represent any form of regionalism, religious inclination, or political ideology. “We do not follow the agenda of any political actor or group,” he maintained, adding that “a person’s identity” and personal ambitions are being placed above the state of Pakistan.
“It is time to put an end to this negative narrative.” he declared. Lt Gen Chaudhry further said the jailed party chief declared his party workers traitors, who attended a course at the National Defence University (NDU).
He said the Indian media is gleefully amplifying propaganda against the army chief. An individual is speaking against the army chief and attempting to create a divide between the people and the armed forces, said the DG.
He also said that various social media accounts across the world were spreading false narratives. “The original narrative is being pushed by someone who is mentally unstable, and those running certain online networks continuously repost it.”
He remarked that a certain party’s mindset is such that democracy is acceptable only when they are in power; otherwise, they reject it entirely. Lt Gen Chaudhry said: “This same individual encouraged the public not to pay electricity bills and even urged overseas Pakistanis to stop remittances,” adding that no narrative against the leadership of the Pakistan Army will be tolerated. “The Constitution does not allow making irresponsible statements on matters of national security.”
He once again stressed that politics should be kept away from the Pakistan Army. “We are not working on anyone’s agenda — we are working for the defence and protection of the country. This certain individual discusses every single news item related to the army on social media. Please grow up!”
The DG ISPR talked about a creeping national security threat that had become necessary for the military to address.
“That threat emanates from a delusional mindset of a delusional person who has become captive to his own ego, thinking that his wishes are bigger than those of the state of Pakistan,” Lt Gen Chaudhry said, in an apparent reference to incarcerated PTI founder, Imran Khan.
Lt Gen Chaudhry said it was “very important” for the military’s media wing to clarify, remove all ambiguities and doubts, and say what needs to be said. “We need to understand how this narrative is working, and unfortunately, how it is working in deep collusion with external actors.”
DG ISPR added that if someone attacked the armed forces and its leadership for the sake of their ego, delusional mindset and narcissistic way of thinking, “then we will also come and fight, there should be no doubt about that,” he said.
