Director General of the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry has assailed India and its state institutions, including the Army, for being influenced by extremist political ideologies.

“It’s very important that the international players, like US, they must intervene and resolve the issues which are the enduring reasons of the ongoing conflict [between Pakistan and India,” Lt-Gen Chaudhry said while speaking during an interview with a German news outlet on September 5.

Reflecting on the recent May conflict between the two nuclear-armed neighbours, the ISPR chief said that there has only been a ceasefire.

“The conflicts [between Pakistan and India] endure. Whether it’s the Kashmir issue, whether its the state-sponsored terrorism of India. Whether it is the rising extremism of Hindutva mentality, or rationality that has gripped India.

“[….] It is important for the international community […] through its mediation, the Indians are made to realise that this sort of irrationality, strategic arrogance, hubristic attitude that they’ve adopted, its not going to work.”
