The DG of Pakistans Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) has reiterated the comments of Pakistan PM Imran Khan and Foreign Minister – Shah Mehmood Qureshi that India is planning a false flag operation against Pakistan.
In an interview with Geo News, Maj-Gen Iftikhar described the reason for the Indian operation, claiming that lately, the Modi government has faced great embarrassments on several fronts. Iftikhar said that India has border disputes with many of its neighbours including China, Bhutan and Nepal.
Iftikhar claimed that India faced great disgrace in the recent border standoff with China and even with Nepal, “India is meddling in issues where it doesn’t even have a border.”

He said that many issues have arisen in India after the revocation of the special status of Jammu and Kashmir “There is an emergence of Islamophobia in India. Even many nations including the US has opposed to this issue. Now they [India] think the best way out of this crisis is to divert the attention towards Pakistan.”
The DG-ISPR acknowledged that the situation along Line of Control (LoC) is very concerning and India has dishonoured the ceasefire accord many times during recent times. “This year 1,229 ceasefire violations took place and seven civilians were martyred.”
The Pakistan Army shot down many Indian quadcopters, he said, adding that any Indian aggression will be countered in an appropriate manner. He went to warn that there will be severe consequences of any military adventurism against Pakistan and cautioned India: “Let’s not play with fire.”

Ever since the dastardly attack in Pulwama in 2019 in which more than 40 CRPF soldiers were killed, the Indian armed forces maintain extra vigilance in Kashmir. Near the end of May, Indian security forces foiled Pulwama 2.0, a plot to recreate the fatal attack of 2019.
