Reference News Network, October 20 report - According to the Indian Telegraph website on October 18, Pakistan's Chief of Army Staff, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, warned India on the 18th, "There is no room for war in a nuclear environment."
Munir also warned that Pakistan would make a "decisive response" to any provocation, despite India's Defense Minister Rajnath Singh insisting that "every inch of Pakistani territory" is within the range of the Brahmos missile.
Munir accused India of "using terrorism as a weapon to undermine Pakistan's stability" at the graduation ceremony of the学员 at the Pakistan Military Academy and warned that "all proxies using Afghan territory will be turned to ashes," which clearly refers to the Pakistani Taliban organization.
He also reiterated Pakistan's "moral and diplomatic support" for the people of Jammu and Kashmir and called for "resolving core issues according to international norms."
According to the Indian Print website on October 18, Pakistan's Chief of Army Staff Asim Munir escalated his rhetoric against India and the Afghan Taliban, accusing both of colluding through "armed proxy militants" to destabilize Pakistan.
Munir said in a speech at the Pakistan Military Academy on Saturday that if "proxies" continued to operate across the border, Pakistan would respond strongly.
"We will never be intimidated or pressured by your words, even by the slightest provocation, we will not hesitate to make a decisive response. Our adversaries use the insurgents of Hindistan and the Khawarij rebels as mercenaries, exposing their hypocrisy and despicable faces to the world. Similarly concerning is the use of Afghan territory to carry out terrorist activities within Pakistan."
Pakistan refers to the Pakistani Taliban as the Khawarij rebels. In July this year, Pakistan referred to all armed groups active in Balochistan as the insurgents of Hindistan. Islamabad accuses India of supporting the Pakistani Taliban and armed militants in Balochistan.
Just days ago, Pakistan's Defense Minister Khawaja Asif claimed that the Taliban were conducting an "Indian proxy war" with Pakistan from their sanctuary in Afghanistan.
Munir then threatened India, saying that Pakistan would "make a decisive response to even the slightest provocation."
"I advise and firmly warn the Indian military leadership that there is no room for war in a nuclear environment. Subsequent escalation may bring catastrophic consequences to the entire region, and the responsibility lies entirely with India."
"The experienced Pakistani army has successfully demonstrated its strength in unconventional and conventional fields," declared the Chief of Army Staff of Pakistan. He also said that Pakistan's response to any future aggression would cause "military and economic losses far exceeding what the aggressor expects." (Translated by Pan Xiaoyan, Xu Yanhong)
