ISLAMABAD (Kashmir English): In light of the current security situation, especially on the Eastern borders, the federal government has made a crucial decision and given DG ISI Lieutenant General Asim Malik additional charge of National Security Advisor (NSA).
According to the federal government, Lieutenant General Asim Malik gets the additional charge of National Security Adviser.
Speaking at a press conference earlier in the day, Director General ISPR Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said, “We will focus on facts, not accusations.”
India staged Pahalgam drama to malign Pakistan
The statement comes in the backdrop of high tensions with India after India staged the Pahalgam drama to malign Pakistan.
Chaudhry added that Indian media began blaming Pakistani agencies just minutes after the Pahalgam incident, which claimed around 26 people, using a zipline operator’s video to support a false narrative.
He pointed out that Pahalgam is 230km from the Line of Control (LoC) and asked how it’s possible for someone to reach such a remote area from outside.
He posed a question as to why India’s narrative immediately claimed that Muslims attacked Hindus.
He said that the prime minister had also raised concerns over India’s claims, reiterating that terrorism has no religion.
