Army chief Munir says assertions that Pak received external support during 4-day conflict ‘incorrect’

Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir on Monday criticised India for suggesting that Islamabad received external support during the four-day conflict, saying such assertions are “factually incorrect”.

In an address to the graduating officers at the National Defence University Islamabad, Munir reiterated that any misadventure or attempt to undermine Pakistan’s sovereignty will be met with a swift, and resolute response without any constraints or inhibitions.

“Insinuations regarding external support in Pakistan’s successful Operation Bunyanum Marsoos are irresponsible and factually incorrect and reflect a chronic reluctance to acknowledge indigenous capability and institutional resilience developed over decades of strategic prudence,” he said. PTI
