Director-General Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) LT Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry has confirmed Pakistan’s commitment to peace and says the country is not inclined to violence and responded to Indian military actions with responsibility and restraint.
The recent escalation began after India completed air strikes in Punjab and Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) on May 6 to 7, killing over 30 civilians. In response, Pakistan lowered five Indian fighter jets and captured several drones.
Subsequent Indian strikes on Pakistani military targets on May 9 caused Islamabad to launch “Operation Bunyan Marsoos”, targeting Indian military installations while avoiding civil infrastructure.
In an interview with RT -Arabic, LT Gen Chaudhry said “Pakistan is not a violent nation,” adding that the country’s highest priority remains peace.

DG ISPR revealed that the ceasefire was requested by an Indian defense official and relieved through American mediation. He praised Pakistan’s diplomatic efforts under the standoff and called them mature and effective.
He also criticized India for rejecting Pakistan’s call for a neutral investigation into the Pahaldam attack in IIOJK, which New Delhi accused Islamabad without providing evidence. “India refused a logical, impartial probe and instead resorted to missile attacks on civilian targets,” he said.
The ISPR chief also accused India of sponsoring terrorism in Pakistan, especially through groups operating in Balochistan.
He reiterated that Pakistan’s armed forces remain obliged to protect the sovereignty of the country and will act resolutely against any aggression.
