Pakistan: CNSC warns India against military miscalculation
Commander National Strategic Command (CNSC) General Aamer Raza has warned Pakistan’s adversaries that “any miscalculation will be met with a response far beyond the imagination or the calculation of the initiator”.
“To those who harbour hostile designs across our borders, our stance remains resolute and unambiguous. There is no space for conflict or war in a nuclearised environment, and any miscalculation will be met with a response far beyond the imagination or calculation of the initiator,” Pakistan’s strategic command head warned on Saturday.
Addressing the passing-out parade of cadets of the 154th Long Course at the Pakistan Military Academy, Kakul, the CNSC reiterated that the country’s armed forces stood ready to “defend every inch of the motherland” at all costs.
Gen Raza urges unity, resilience against attempts to destabilise the country
The warning by the strategic command commander comes after provocative remarks by Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh. He had warned Pakistan on Thursday that any “fresh terrorist activity from across the border would invite a strike even bigger than the last time”, according to Indian news agency ANI.
Gen Raza said that in the “post-truth era”, the country’s adversaries sought to drive a wedge between the people of Pakistan and its armed forces through “calculated disinformation and narrative warfare”.
He elaborated that following the failure of Operation Sindoor, the adversaries sought to “fracture Pakistan’s social cohesion and state infrastructure” through an escalation of proxy terrorism and sub-conventional warfare.
Gen Raza said that hostile elements continue to attempt to exploit the country’s internal vulnerabilities to “cultivate proxy instruments against our national unity”.
The strategic command commander added that the people of Pakistan must remain acutely mindful that safeguarding the country’s unity, sovereign integrity and territorial inviolability is “an absolute imperative, which we shall uphold at all costs and under every circumstance”.
Role in regional peace
Gen Raza said the recent shifts in global geopolitics, particularly amid the escalating conflict in the Middle East, had “once again underscored Pakistan’s pivotal strategic importance on the international stage”.
“Our decisive role in restoring regional stability, exemplified by the landmark Islamabad Accord, demonstrates our enduring commitment to peace and diplomacy,” he said, adding that the Makkah Accord was “a sequel to the same vision of durable peace”.
