On Thursday, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry asserted that Pakistan had the right to self-defence and would take "everything that is necessary" against terrorism originating from Afghanistan. This statement was made during a press briefing primarily aimed at countering Indian media reports regarding the April 22 Pahalgam terrorist attack, in which an individual linked to the incident was reportedly killed during an "encounter" in occupied Kashmir.
Addressing the topic of terrorism and attacks from Afghanistan, the military spokesperson emphasized that Pakistan's policy is firm: "There is no compromise on the territorial integrity, sovereignty, and any threat to the security and stability of Pakistan." Chaudhry affirmed Pakistan's right to self-defence, stating that "come what may, everything that is necessary will be done."
