Director General ISPR Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry has said India is sponsoring terrorism and subversion in Balochistan to destabilize Pakistan.
He was addressing a joint news conference along with Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Sarfaraz Bugti in Islamabad on Friday.
The Director General ISPR said India was running a misinformation warfare throughout the conduct of the operation, while continuously circulating AI generated images and fake videos on its mainstream media.
Giving detail of the incident, Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said when our security forces were launching the rescue operation to get free the hostages from the captivity of terrorists, a malicious campaign led by the Indian media was going on.
He further said terrorists were taking instructions from their handlers in Afghanistan.
Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said terrorists intercepted the train with improvised explosive device, making the train dysfunctional. Earlier before attacking the train, terrorists raided a nearby FC picket, martyring three personnel. He said twenty-six passengers were martyred in the incident.
The DG ISPR commended the Pakistan Army, Special Services Group, Law Enforcement Agencies and FC for conducting the operation with utmost precision and caution. He mentioned that not a single causality happened during the conduct of the operation. He said some passengers were martyred before the launch of the operation by the security forces.
To a question, Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said we will take on terrorists, their facilitators, and abettors whether inside or outside Pakistan.
