Pakistani military’s media wing, Inter-Service Public Relations (ISPR), on Tuesday dismissed the Indian army chief’s statement about Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), calling it ‘irresponsible’.
In a series of tweets, Director-General ISPR Major General Asif Ghafoor said: “Irresponsible statements by Indian military commanders particularly about AJ&K are [the] expression of their frustration due to their failure to handle [the] situation in IOJ&K [Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir] and attempts to divert world’s attention from Indian state terrorism and siege of IOJ&K.”

A day earlier, Indian Army Chief Bipin Rawat had alleged “reactivation of a terror camp” in Balakot area of Azad Kashmir.
“Accusations of infiltration/presence of alleged terrorists camps are [a] pretext for a false flag operation/misadventure which, if tried, shall have serious consequences for regional peace,” the DG ISPR continued.
He further warned that Pakistani armed forces are fully prepared to respond to any aggression or misadventure regardless of cost.
