On the one hand, the entire political leadership of Pakistan is stuck in the dilemma of appointing a new army chief, on the other hand, Lt Gen Upendra Dwivedi of the Indian Army gave a statement that if the government gives an order, they will take back Pakistan-administered Kashmir.
However, the spokesman of the Pakistan Army termed the Indian Army General’s statement as extremely irresponsible and said that if aggression is done, a strong response will be given.
A major claim by the Chief of Northern Command
Lieutenant General Upendra Dwivedi said in his statement that he is ready to take any action on the direction of the government.
He has issued a warning to Pakistan saying that if the ceasefire is violated, it will be given a befitting reply. Maintaining peace on the border is the responsibility of both countries, but if Pakistan takes any step, it has to be ready to bear the consequences.
A few days ago, Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singh made a big statement regarding Pakistan-administered Kashmir and said that if necessary, PoK will be recaptured.
It should be noted that recently, Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singh had visited occupied Jammu and Kashmir. While discussing the (Pakistan)-administered Kashmir), he had said that what has been done in (PoK) will have to be paid for.
Pakistan is committing ‘atrocities’ on people in its Occupied Kashmir and it will have to bear the consequences. He further said that we have started the development work of Kashmir, and this development work will not stop until it reaches Gilgit-Baltistan.
DG ISPR’s response
The unwarranted statement of a high-ranking Indian Army Officer concerning Azad Jammu and Kashmir is an apt manifestation of Indian Armed Forces’ delusional mindset and showcases the vivid imprint of domestic political showboating on Indian military thought (1/5)
