He said this while holding an important press conference with international media. Senior officers of the Air Force and Pakistan Navy were also present.
DG ISPR said that 60 Indian aircraft were in flight and were engaged. Indian aircraft came to the Pakistan side at 12:10 am. He also narrated the conversation of the Rafale aircraft pilot in the briefing.
He said that Pakistan will protect its dignity and freedom at all costs. India is targeting children, women and civilians. After the Pahalgam incident, India blamed Pakistan. We should see what the reality is, but on the contrary, the Indian media has started saying without evidence that Pakistan is involved.
On this occasion, he presented videos of questions raised by the citizens of occupied Kashmir on the Pahalgam incident, in which the citizens raised a question mark on the security of the Modi government and the Indian army and called the Pahalgam incident a drama of the Indian army.
Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said that the Pahalgam incident took place at 2:30 pm and after ten minutes an FIR was registered in the concerned police station, how did they find out in ten minutes that Pakistan was involved in this attack.
He said that fake encounters are a routine of the Indian forces in occupied Kashmir, Pakistan had also taken a clear stand regarding the Pulwama incident and had said that it was a false flag operation, the then Governor of Jammu had opened the floodgates of the Pulwama incident and had said that India wants to achieve political objectives by blaming Pakistan for this fake incident.
DG ISPR said that India is involved in terrorism in Kashmir, for which there is evidence, India takes Kashmiris from their homes and kills them by declaring them terrorists, India is involved in terrorism in Pakistan, for which there is evidence, India supports other organizations including Fitna-ul-Kharij for terrorism, there is evidence of terrorism in Balochistan.
He said that there is evidence of communication between Indian army personnel and terrorists, an Indian spy was arrested from Jhelum before the Pahalgam incident, there are terrorist camps inside India, India is involved in terrorism in other countries including the US, Canada and Pakistan, India is doing all this to divert attention from its internal problems.
India’s baseless aggression should stop now, Pakistan had also offered India an investigation and said that a third party should become a judge, but under the guise of the Pahalgam incident, Muslims living in India are being targeted.
DG ISPR said that during India’s attack on Pakistan, the lives of several thousand passengers were also put at risk, at that time 57 flights were in the air, India is attacking Pakistan using Israeli-made Herop drones, so far 77 drones have been destroyed, we targeted India’s brigade headquarters, we only target those check posts of India from where we are fired upon.
He said that India attacked Sikh areas and tried to destroy their place of worship, attacked Nankana Sahib with 6 drones which we foiled, India attacked Pakistan with long-range missiles, Indian media should think before fabricating stories.
DG ISPR said that India is disappointed after its latest aircraft crashed, we know its disappointment, Indian officials also seem to believe more in movies, Indian High Commissioner in London says that Masood Azhar’s brother is leading the funeral prayer, a video statement of the person leading the funeral prayer has come out that he is surprised why he was made Masood Azhar’s brother.
Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif said that they will collect Indian drones from all over the country and hit them in the face. India wants them to take action and no one even asks questions? Whenever drones come, they are monitored and shot down, we shot down every single drone sent by India and not a single one could return.
He added that 33 Pakistanis were martyred and 62 were injured in the Indian attacks.
Air Vice Marshal Aurangzeb Ahmed said that we are grateful to God for the successful defense of the homeland. The Pakistan Air Force became active in response to the Indian attacks within two minutes and responded. About 60 Indian aircraft came, out of which 14 were Rafale aircraft. We shot down five aircraft, including three Rafale aircraft.
On this occasion, he told about the destruction of the Indian Air Force aircraft through slides on the screen and also listened to the conversation of the Indian pilot.
DG ISPR’s interview with TRT World
Earlier, DG ISPR Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry has said that Pakistan’s response was only targeting the check posts of the LoC, not drones and rocket attacks, while India is targeting civilians.
Talking to foreign TV “TRT World”, he informed the world about Indian aggression and said that shelling and unprovoked firing by Indian artillery on Pakistan along the LoC is continuing, Indian forces are deliberately targeting the civilian population.
He said that in response to the firing by Indian forces, only their posts are being targeted, Pakistan is not carrying out drone and rocket attacks, Pakistan is only targeting those Indian posts on the LoC that are targeting the civilian population.
DG ISPR said that yesterday, India fabricated a claim that Pakistan violated its borders and attacked India with rockets and drones. This is a complete lie. This is the 21st century. Everything is electronically available. If Pakistan attacked India with missiles, it should be reported. Indian media said that a Pakistani plane was shot down and the pilot was captured. Where is the wreckage of the downed plane and the pilot? If there is any evidence, then provide it.
DG ISPR said that only fabricated and false news was spread by Indian media. I had said yesterday that if Pakistan does anything, there will be no need to tell the Indian media, but the world will tell it.
He said that blaming Pakistan for any incident has become a habit on the part of India and the same was done in the Pahalgam incident. Instead of blaming the Pahalgam incident, the Pakistani government clearly offered a transparent, neutral, independent investigation. India started blaming Pakistan without evidence, but it has no evidence.
