Pakistan’s military has strongly responded to Indian Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi’s remarks labeling Pakistan the “epicentre of terrorism.” The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) called the claims baseless, emphasizing that such statements reflect extreme duplicity and are an attempt to divert attention from India’s actions in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
The ISPR stated that blaming Pakistan for the indigenous resistance in IIOJK is a futile exercise. They highlighted India’s human rights abuses and oppression of marginalized groups, adding that such statements serve political motivations rather than professional conduct.
ISPR Points to Indian Brutality in Kashmir
The ISPR criticized General Dwivedi’s tenure in IIOJK, accusing him of overseeing brutal repression of Kashmiris. They also referred to India’s international human rights violations and anti-Muslim rhetoric, including hate-speech conclaves that provoke genocide.

The statement reminded the world of the arrest of Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav, caught orchestrating terrorism in Pakistan. It urged India to focus on its internal issues rather than deflecting attention with unfounded allegations.
The ISPR concluded by calling for civility and professionalism, stressing the importance of state-to-state conduct over politically driven rhetoric.
FO Condemns Provocative Statements
Pakistan’s Foreign Office (FO) also rejected statements by India’s defence minister and army chief. The FO reiterated that IoK remains an internationally disputed territory under United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolutions.
It accused India of suppressing the legitimate struggle of Kashmiris for self-determination and highlighted Indian trans-national assassinations, including covert operations targeting Sikh activists in Canada and the US.
The FO called for introspection by India, urging it to address its documented involvement in state-sponsored terrorism and targeted killings instead of levelling baseless accusations against others.
