Pak Army Exposed Another Alleged Indian False Flag Operation

The Pakistan Army, through its media wing, rejected another alleged Indian false-flag operation in occupied Kashmir on September 29, claiming that India falsely reported killing a Lashkar-e-Taiba militant named Mohammad Asif, also referred to as Hashim Musa or Asif Fauji, and alleged that he was a Pakistani SSG handler with a service number involved in attacks. Indian reports also claimed that three associates were killed. Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations, challenged these claims by presenting Mohammad Asif alive before the media. Asif identified himself as a retired Havaldar of Pakistan Army’s Special Service Group from Pindi Gheb, Attock district, Punjab, said he retired in 2023, subsequently worked for a security company, and now lives in Rawalpindi. He said he learned through friends and social media that Indian forces had supposedly killed him, strongly denied involvement in the alleged activities, affirmed that he was alive, and said he remained willing to serve Pakistan. His appearance was used to directly challenge the claim that he had been killed and to reject allegations connecting him to militant activity or service with Pakistan’s military.

Chaudhry also accused India of sponsoring terrorist organizations operating against Pakistan, a charge India has repeatedly denied, and gave six reasons that Pakistan says explain such alleged operations: using militant activity to destabilize Pakistan; diverting international attention from conditions and Indian actions in occupied Kashmir; exploiting the large Indian security presence there to stage incidents and shape public narratives; diverting attention from India’s domestic economic, social, and political problems by creating a common external enemy; politicizing the Indian Army in ways Pakistan says undermine military professionalism; and promoting Hindutva and what Pakistan characterizes as state-sponsored terrorism through Indian political leadership. The broader allegation is that India has repeatedly blamed Pakistan for incidents without providing what Pakistan considers credible evidence, with Pulwama and Pahalgam cited as earlier examples, and that these incidents follow a recurring pattern in which Pakistan is blamed before investigations establish responsibility. Chaudhry warned that any Indian action against Pakistan would receive a strong response, stating that Pakistan has the capability to defend itself and would use that capability if necessary.

The press conference also covered other important topics. The DG ISPR spoke about Pakistan’s commitment to the Makkah Joint Defense Agreement. This is an important agreement between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. He said Pakistan remains fully committed to it. He also said that defense cooperation information under this arrangement is confidential. This is understandable. Military agreements often involve sensitive details. These details cannot be shared with the public. But the commitment is clear. The DG ISPR stated that Pakistan’s commitment to protecting Saudi Arabia and its leadership is absolute. This is a strong statement. It shows the depth of the relationship between the two countries. It shows that Pakistan takes its defense commitments seriously. This is important in a region that has many challenges. Saudi Arabia is a key ally of Pakistan. Pakistan values this relationship. It will do what it can to protect its ally. This commitment is not just about words. It is about actions. It is about the training and the cooperation that happens behind the scenes. It is about the shared security interests that bind the two nations together. The DG ISPR made it clear that this relationship is strong and will remain strong. He also spoke about domestic matters. He said that relations between the federal government and the provinces are the federal government’s responsibility. This is an important clarification. It means the army does not interfere in these matters. The army has no role in politics. This is a point that is often misunderstood. The DG ISPR emphasized that the armed forces operate under Pakistan’s Constitution and state orders. They are not a political entity. They are a professional force. Their job is to defend the country. Their job is not to run the government. This separation of roles is important. It is important for democracy. It is important for the stability of the country. The DG ISPR reiterated this point clearly. He left no room for ambiguity. The army follows the Constitution. It follows the orders of the state. It does not involve itself in political disputes. This is the correct position for any professional army. It is the position that the Pakistan Army maintains. It is a position that deserves respect and understanding.

The DG ISPR also spoke about Pakistan’s long fight against terrorism. This is a fight that has cost the nation dearly. Thousands of soldiers have laid down their lives. Thousands of civilians have been killed. The economy has suffered. The social fabric has been strained. But Pakistan has not given up. It has continued to fight. The DG ISPR emphasized this point. He said that political interests cannot override counterterrorism efforts. This is a crucial statement. Terrorism is not a political issue. It is a security issue. It is a threat to the very existence of the state. It must be fought with unity. It must be fought with determination. It cannot be used for political point scoring. It cannot be made part of political games. The DG ISPR made this clear. He referred to the National Action Plan. This is a comprehensive plan to tackle terrorism. It was developed after the tragic Army Public School attack in 2014. It has been a key tool in the fight against terrorism. The DG ISPR also spoke about the security challenges in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan. These are two provinces that have faced the brunt of terrorism. They have seen many attacks. They have lost many lives. The army is actively working in these areas. It is trying to bring peace and stability. The DG ISPR also made an important point about banned groups. He said Pakistan regards the BLA and the TTP as similarly prohibited groups. Both are seen as threats to national security. Both are involved in terrorist activities. He also alleged that both receive support from the Afghan Taliban. This is a serious allegation. It points to the complex web of militancy in the region. It shows that the threat is not just internal. It comes from outside as well. The DG ISPR said that the Pakistan Army is addressing this issue. It is distinguishing between Afghan citizens and Afghanistan’s rulers. This is an important distinction. Afghan citizens are not the enemy. They are neighbors. They are brothers. But the rulers of Afghanistan have a responsibility. They must not allow their soil to be used against Pakistan. The DG ISPR urged the Afghan authorities to consider the consequences of their actions. He accused the Afghan Taliban of serving the interests of various agencies for financial benefits. This is a strong accusation. It suggests that the Afghan Taliban are being used by other powers. It suggests that they are not acting in the interest of their own people. The DG ISPR reiterated that Pakistan, its army and its people would make no compromise on national security. This is the bottom line. This is the red line. There will be no compromise on this issue. The security of Pakistan is paramount. Nothing is more important.

The whole nation stands with the Pakistan Army. This is not just a slogan. It is a reality. The people of Pakistan have seen the sacrifices of their soldiers. They have seen the dedication of their army. They know that the army is there to protect them. They know that the army is ready to tackle all internal and external threats. The Pakistani nation feels proud of this. It feels proud that its army is fully prepared. It feels proud that its army is committed to making Pakistan secure and prosperous. This pride is not blind. It is based on decades of service. It is based on the blood that has been shed. It is based on the victories that have been won. The army has fought terrorists. It has fought enemies. It has helped in times of natural disasters. It has built roads and bridges. It has run schools and hospitals. It has been a pillar of the state. The people recognize this. They appreciate this. They stand behind their army. This unity is a source of strength. It is a source of power. India and all other enemies should keep this in mind. They should understand that this is not a divided nation. This is a united nation. This is a nation that stands firmly behind its army. To defeat such a nation is not possible. It has never been possible. It will never be possible. The enemies can try. They can stage false flag operations. They can spread propaganda. They can try to create confusion. But they will fail. They will fail because the truth is on Pakistan’s side. They will fail because the people are on Pakistan’s side. They will fail because the army is on Pakistan’s side. This is the message that the DG ISPR conveyed. This is the message that Mohammad Asif conveyed by simply being alive. This is the message that the entire nation wants to send. Pakistan is strong. Pakistan is united. Pakistan is ready. And Pakistan will always prevail. The false flag operation of September twenty-ninth was just another attempt to weaken this nation. It was another attempt to malign this army. It was another attempt to create a narrative that serves India’s interests. But it failed. It failed because Pakistan was prepared. It failed because the truth came out. It failed because a retired soldier was brave enough to stand up and say, I am alive. This is the power of truth. This is the power of honesty. This is the power of a nation that refuses to be bullied. India should learn from this. It should stop its false flag operations. It should stop blaming Pakistan without proof. It should focus on its own problems. It should respect the sovereignty of its neighbors. It should work for peace in the region. This is the only way forward. This is the only path to stability. Pakistan has always extended the hand of friendship. It has always sought peaceful relations. But it will not compromise on its security. It will not bow to pressure. It will not accept false accusations. It will stand firm. It will stand strong. It will stand united. And it will always expose the lies of its enemies. The world is watching. The world is beginning to see the truth. The lies of India are being exposed. One by one, the false flags are being torn down. And the truth of Pakistan is shining through. This is a victory for Pakistan. This is a victory for truth. This is a victory for the brave soldiers who defend this land. And it is a victory for the proud nation that stands behind them. The nation stands with the army. The army stands with the nation. Together, they are invincible. Together, they will overcome every challenge. Together, they will build a secure and prosperous Pakistan. This is the promise of the future. This is the hope of the present. And this is the reality of the past. Pakistan Zindabad. Pakistan Army Zindabad.
