‘Afghan elite' sheltering terrorists for Indian funds: DG ISPR
PESHAWAR: Calling the people of Afghanistan brothers, DG ISPR Lt General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry on Sunday accused the 'Afghan gentry' of giving refuge to terrorists in lieu of money received from the Indian government.
Speaking to over 2,500 students from different universities of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), who held a special sitting with him, he urged Afghanistan not to play into the hands of India.
The DG ISPR said the time had come for Kashmir's independence.

He further said that India was under the impression that Pakistan might not defend itself as there existed a gulf between its people and the armed forces. 'But the nation, by standing with their armed forces, proved the enemy wrong,' he said, and added, 'This was a strategic miscalculation on the part of India.'
Pakistanis, he went on to say, had always been like this and would remain so.
Lt Gen Chaudhry made it clear to India that if it attacked Pakistan again, the latter's response would be even tougher.
'We decided to attack 26 sites in India,' the DG said, adding that the Pakistan Air Force destroyed those air bases from where the Indian Air Force's jets flew to kill innocent Pakistani men, women and children.
'Likewise, we destroyed the brigade headquarters on whose orders shells were dropped on Muzaffarabad and which had resulted in the martyrdom of a seven-year-old Irtaza.'
Carrying national flags in their hands, the students shouted slogans of 'Pakistan hamesha zindabad' and 'Kashmir bane ga Pakistan.'
The Pakhtun students, on the occasion, vowed that they would not spare the enemies of the country and inflict a humiliating defeat on them.

PM Shehbaz, Field Marshal Munir vow decisive action against Indian-sponsored proxies in Balochistan
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir on Sunday jointly addressed a Grand Jirga of tribal elders in Quetta, reaffirming the state's unwavering resolve to defeat terrorism and counter foreign-sponsored subversion, particularly in Balochistan. Speaking at the Zehri Auditorium, the premier condemned the intensified activities of Indian-backed proxies aimed at destabilising Balochistan, and warned that such hostile attempts would be met with decisive state action. 'Our message to the enemies of peace is clear: the government, armed forces, law enforcement agencies, and administrative apparatus, with full support of the Pakistani nation, will defeat terrorism in all its forms,' the Prime Minister stated. P The premier lauded the historical role of Balochistan's tribal elders in preserving national unity and called for continued grassroots engagement to deny space to terror outfits such as the so-called 'Fitna Al-Hindustan'. He also underscored the importance of ensuring that government-led development initiatives yield tangible benefits for the local population. Addressing the gathering, Field Marshal Munir described the ongoing violence in Balochistan as part of a 'blatant Indian-sponsored proxy war' and vowed to crush every element threatening Pakistan's sovereignty. 'We have concrete proof of India's hand in supporting terrorist networks in Balochistan. These nefarious efforts will be defeated by the Pakistan Army with the full support of the nation and the brave people of Balochistan,' he said. The COAS reiterated that peace in Balochistan is non-negotiable and directly linked to Pakistan's long-term stability. Both the prime minister and the COAS praised the bravery and sacrifices of the security forces and law enforcement agencies operating in the province. The prime minister assured continued state support to the families of martyrs and pledged zero tolerance for terror facilitators and abettors. The Jirga concluded with tribal elders pledging their full support to the state's security and development efforts. Earlier in the day, PM Shehbaz also visited the Command and Staff College Quetta, where he addressed student officers and faculty. Stressing the need for operational readiness and strategic foresight, the PM emphasized the significance of professional military education in countering evolving hybrid threats, particularly in sensitive regions like Balochistan.

Kashmir dispute must be settled for lasting regional stability: CJCSC
Listen to article General Sahir Shamshad Mirza, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee (CJCSC) has called for the urgent resolution of the Kashmir dispute, warning that continued tensions with India threaten regional peace and security. General Mirza, made the remarks while representing Pakistan at the 22nd Shangri-La Dialogue 2025 in Singapore, a key Asian security summit. 'The resolution of the Kashmir dispute in line with UN Security Council resolutions is essential for lasting peace in South Asia,' Gen. Mirza said, describing the conflict as the 'root cause' of enduring hostility between Islamabad and New Delhi. READ MORE: Pakistan's victory inspires unity among Kashmiris He stressed the need for active and effective dialogue frameworks—bilateral, regional, and global—to prevent conflicts rather than respond to them after escalation. Mirza also criticised India's recent actions regarding water flow management, accusing New Delhi of attempting to weaponise shared water resources. 'India's use of water as a weapon of war is a clear violation of international law,' he said. 'Any attempt to block or divert Pakistan's waters will be considered an act of war, in accordance with the Pakistan National Security Committee's policy.' General Mirza reaffirmed that Pakistan is open to durable peace with India, but such a peace must be based on dignity, equality, and mutual respect. He also expressed concern over the absence of reliable crisis management structures, noting that the failure to act early often prevents the international community from intervening before tensions spiral. READ MORE: Modi trying to turn Kashmir into Gaza: Irfan Siddiqui 'The situation since the Pahalgam incident is endangering regional development. We need mutual restraint, recognition of red lines, and equilibrium to ensure durable peace,' he said. Tensions between nuclear-armed Pakistan and India reached a boiling boint in the aftermath of the deadly April 22 Pahalgam attack in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK). India blamed Pakistan-linked elements without offering any evidence while Islamabad rejected New Delhi's claims and called for an independent probe. India subseuqnetly undertook a series of hostile actions the next day on April 23, including suspending the 65-year-old Indus Waters Treaty (IWT), cancelling visas for Pakistani citizens, closing the Wagah-Attari border crossing, ordering the shutdown of the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi, and reducing diplomatic staff at each other's embassies. Pakistan strongly rejected the accusation, calling it unsubstantiated, but took reciprocal measures through its National Security Committee (NSC). These included halting trade with India, closing Pakistani airspace to Indian aircraft, and other countersteps. India's later use of force was met with a calibrated military response under Operation Bunyanum Marsoos, which targeted Indian air assets, ammunition depots, and missile bases along the Line of Control and beyond. The operation formed part of a broader campaign, Marka-e-Haq, which ran from May 7 to May 10. Last month, following four days of intense clashes between India and Pakistan, US President Donald Trump took to social media to announce that both countries had agreed to a 'full and immediate ceasefire,' brokered by the United States. He had also offered to mediate a solution to the long-standing Kashmir dispute. Mirza called on world powers to help restore a formal dialogue mechanism between Pakistan and India, warning that the current vacuum increases the risk of miscalculation and escalation. Pakistan's participation in the Shangri-La Dialogue comes at a time of heightened friction with India and growing concern over resource and territorial disputes across South Asia. The country used the platform to reiterate its long-standing stance on Kashmir and to advocate for stronger diplomatic channels to address unresolved conflicts. READ MORE: Trump to work with Pakistan, India to resolve Kashmir dispute Earlier, Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir said Pakistan would never accept Indian hegemony in South Asia, expressing firm opposition to New Delhi's regional posture and ongoing disputes. In remarks shared by the military's media wing, ISPR, the Chief of Army Staff conveyed a strong sense of resolve over what he described as India's attempts to assert dominance. He reiterated Pakistan's unwavering stance on Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), and raised concerns about India's approach to transboundary water sharing.

In a phone conversation, the two ministers underscored the strategic importance of the proposed railway corridor and agreed to work closely for the early finalisation of its framework agreement, according to a statement from Pakistan's Foreign Office. Muttaqi welcomed Pakistan's decision to upgrade diplomatic relations with Kabul to the ambassadorial level and confirmed Afghanistan would reciprocate the move. He termed the decision a 'positive development' for bilateral ties. The conversation also served as a follow-up to Dar's visit to Kabul on 19 April 2025. READ: Islamabad, Kabul eye joint fix for TTP Both sides reviewed the implementation of key decisions taken during that trip and reiterated their shared commitment to strengthening mutual trust and cooperation. Last month, Pakistan and Afghanistan agreed to ensure the dignified and orderly repatriation of undocumented Afghan nationals, amid tensions over Islamabad's deportation campaign. Dar's first trip to Afghanistan since assuming office focused on defusing friction and restarting stalled cooperation on security and regional connectivity. During his meetings with Acting Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi, Dar stressed the need to manage cross-border security, combat militancy, and strengthen bilateral trade. The ministers agreed to finalise a joint committee of intelligence and interior ministry officials to address counterterrorism and border management concerns. The two sides also reached consensus on enhancing regional economic links through initiatives like the CASA-1000 power project and the transnational Uzbekistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan railway.
