ISPR DG addresses press conference on Marka-e-Haq anniversary

Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry is addressing a press conference on the first anniversary of Marka-e-Haq.

On May 6-7 last year, India — after levelling baseless and unfounded allegations against Pakistan for an attack in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir — launched an attack on Islamabad, which was responded to with full force, humilating New Delhi.

The more than 80-hour war eventually stopped on May 10 after intervention from the United States, which saw multiple Indian jets and drones being downed, and bolstering Pakistan’s image as a “net security stabiliser”.

“We welcome you to ISPR on this happy day,” Lt Gen Chaudhry said while addressing the presser along with Rear Admiral Shifaat Ali Khan and Air Vice Marshal Tariq Ghazi as he congratulated the nation on the one-year anniversary of Marka-i-Haq.

He noted that Pakistan’s military had defeated an enemy “five times larger than itself,” and further described India as a “terrorist state”. 

Refraining from “delving into Marka-e-Haq”, the ISPR DG said that they would expand on the “10 strategic consequences” of the conflict.
