‘Epicentre of terrorism’: Pakistan Army strongly reacts to Indian army chief for his remarks
Asks neighbouring country to refrain from “pandering to political exigencies”

Rawalpindi: The Pakistan Army on Wednesday strongly reacted to the Indian army chief calling Pakistan the “epicentre of terrorism”.
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), instead of trying to “conjure up non-existent terror infrastructure in Pakistan, it would be wise not to indulge in self-delusion”.
The statement came in response to Indian Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi’s remarks during a press conference on January 13, ahead of India’s Army Day, when he claimed that in 2024, “60 per cent of the terrorists eliminated” in Occupied Jammu and Kashmir were allegedly of Pakistan origin.
According to the Press Trust of India, General Dwivedi further alleged that “80pc of the remaining fighters in Indian-occupied Kashmir were of Pakistani origin”.
In a befitting response, the Pakistani military said: “Insinuating Pakistan as the epicentre of terrorism by the Indian Army chief is not only contrary to facts but also an exercise in futility to beat the dead horse of India’s default position — blaming Pakistan for Indigenous reaction to state-sponsored brutality. It is a classic case of extreme duplicity.”
