  "account": "Islamabad: Director General Inter-Services Public Relations Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry unveiled a former Pakistan soldier named Mohammad Asif at a press conference on Thursday. The retired Special Services Group Havildar claimed to be alive and living with his family, challenging Indian claims that he was killed in a false flag operation. This confrontation comes after India's September 29 announcement of a military operation in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir. Indian authorities and media sources reported that Mohammad Asif, also known as Musa, was killed as a Lashkar-e-Taiba operative. However, Chaudhry's presentation of the live Havildar exposed what he called India's \"fabricated Indian encounter narrative,\" causing embarrassment to New Delhi.

He further alleged that India's military had become increasingly politicized and focused on pleasing its \"political masters\" rather than maintaining professional military standards. Chaudhry also suggested that India had transformed into an \"Encounteristan,\" relying on staged encounters and sensational narratives. The DG ISPR accused India of sponsoring terrorism in the region and supporting terrorist organizations involved in attacks outside Indian territory. He also criticized Indian media for repeating official claims without proper verification and urged India to present any evidence of Pakistani involvement in terrorism to Islamabad or an independent third party. Lt Gen Chaudhry reiterated Pakistan's position that India should address the causes of unrest inside the disputed territory instead of externalizing its internal issues by blaming Pakistan.",
