India fought two adversaries during the conflict, with Pakistan being the \u201cfront face\u201d while China provided \u201call possible support\u201d, Lieutenant General Rahul Singh had said at a defence industry event in New Delhi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen the DGMO (director general of military operations) level talks were going on, Pakistan \u2026 said that we know that your such and such important vector is primed and it is ready for action \u2026 he was getting live inputs from China,\u201d he said. Singh did not elaborate on how India knew about the live inputs from China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A statement issued by the Inter-Services Publications said that Field Marshal Munir addressed the matter today while speaking at the National Defence University (NDU) in Islamabad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said that India\u2019s \u201cinability\u201d to achieve its military objectives during Operation Sindoor and the subsequent claims signified \u201cits lack of operational readiness and strategic foresight\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cInsinuations regarding external support in Pakistan\u2019s successful Operation Bunyanum Marsoos are irresponsible and factually incorrect and reflect a chronic reluctance to acknowledge indigenous capability and institutional resilience developed over decades of strategic prudence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNaming other states as participants in the purely bilateral military conflagration is also a shoddy attempt at playing camp politics and desperately trying that India remains the beneficiary of larger geopolitical contestation as the so-called net security provider in a region which is getting increasingly weary of its hegemonic and extremist Hindutva ideology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It further stated that \u201cin contrast to India\u2019s strategic behaviour resting on parochial self-alignment\u201d, Pakistan had forged \u201clasting partnerships based on principled diplomacy, anchored in mutual respect and peace, establishing itself to be a stabiliser in the region\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his remarks, the army chief reiterated the country\u2019s \u201cprincipled stance\u201d, warning that any misadventure or attempts to undermine national sovereignty or territorial integrity would be met with a \u201cswift and resolute response\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAny attempt to target our population centres, military bases, economic hubs and ports will instantly invoke a \u2018deeply hurting and more than reciprocal response\u2019. The onus of escalation will squarely lie on the strategically blind arrogant aggressor who fails to see the grave repercussions of such provocative actions against a sovereign nuclear state,\u201d the statement quoted him as saying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWars are not won through media rhetoric, imported fancy hardware, or political sloganeering, but through faith, professional competence, operational clarity, institutional strength and national resolve,\u201d the army chief concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He lauded the armed forces and urged the graduating officers to remain steadfast in the values of integrity, selfless service, and unwavering commitment to the nation, the statement added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir on Monday dismissed Indian claims of Pakistan receiving<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1258,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1257","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-newsbeat","category-world"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
