Pakistan Accuses India’s Army of Political Pandering

The Pakistani military has issued a statement accusing the Indian Army of duplicity, delusion, and political pandering. Ironically, Pakistan’s Army alleges that the Indian Army is “too political.”

Context: India’s Statement on Kashmir

This statement from Pakistan comes in response to comments made by India’s Army Chief during a press conference last week. The Indian Army Chief highlighted the security situation in Kashmir and blamed Pakistan for orchestrating violence, referring to it as the “epicenter of terrorism.”

Pakistan’s Reaction: A Sharp Rebuttal

Pakistan’s military responded with a strongly worded statement, dismissing India’s claims and accusing it of “state-sponsored brutality.” The statement also criticized the Indian Army for allegedly pandering to political exigencies.

Allegation 1: Brutality in Kashmir

Pakistan accuses India of unleashing brutality in Kashmir. However, the facts suggest otherwise:

  • Two free and fair elections were held in one year, with a voter turnout of nearly 64%.
  • An opposition party is currently governing the region.
    In contrast, Pakistan-occupied Kashmir faces severe challenges, including energy crises, unemployment, and police crackdowns.

Allegation 2: Politicization of India’s Army

Pakistan’s claim about the Indian Army being politicized stands in stark contrast to its own practices:

  • In India, responses to foreign allegations are handled by the Ministry of External Affairs, not the military.
  • In Pakistan, the military openly engages in political roles, including managing businesses, coordinating investments, and toppling elected governments.

Historical Context: Pakistan’s Military Coups and Failures

The Pakistani Army has orchestrated three military coups in the last seven decades and has a history of losing wars. Their claim of professionalism is further undermined by the events of the 1971 war, where 93,000 Pakistani soldiers were taken as prisoners of war by India and later returned.

Moving Forward: India vs. Pakistan’s Trajectories

India has progressed significantly, with Kashmir witnessing investments, job creation, and infrastructure development. Meanwhile, Pakistan struggles with outdated policies and internal crises.

I am a hard-working and driven individual who isn't afraid to face a challenge. I'm passionate about my work and I know how to get the job done. I would describe myself as an open and honest person who doesn't believe in misleading other people and tries to be fair in everything I do.
