Islamabad, July 10, 2025 — In a striking escalation of diplomatic tensions, Pakistan’s military has accused Indian National Security Adviser Ajit Doval of masterminding a state-sponsored terrorism network aimed at destabilizing Pakistan. The allegations were made by Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR), during an interview with Al Jazeera.
General Chaudhry claimed that India has institutionalized terrorism as a state policy, allegedly using proxies such as the banned Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) to carry out attacks within Pakistani territory. He cited the recent bombing in Waziristan, which killed 16 Pakistani soldiers and injured over 20 others, as evidence of India’s direct involvement.
The DG ISPR further asserted that India funds and supports militant groups operating in Balochistan and other conflict-prone regions, referring to them as “Fitna-tul-Hindustan”—a term increasingly used by Pakistani officials to describe Indian-backed terrorist elements. He also labeled groups like the TTP as “Khawarij,” or armed renegades who distort religious teachings to justify violence against the state.
General Chaudhry emphasized that Pakistan’s nuclear assets remain “fully secure and invincible,” warning that any aggression against the country would have dire consequences. He also reaffirmed Pakistan’s diplomatic support for Iran amid recent Israeli military actions, stating that threats against any Islamic state jeopardize regional peace.
The military spokesperson concluded by urging the international community to take India’s alleged actions seriously, claiming that countries such as the United States and Canada have acknowledged India’s role in cross-border terrorism.
India has not yet officially responded to these allegations. The accusations mark a significant intensification in the already fraught relationship between the two nuclear-armed neighbors, raising concerns over regional stability and the potential for further escalation.
