Army Chief Refutes Claims About Chinese Weapon Support
Pakistan's Chief of Army, General Asim Munir, on Monday said that Pakistan had not received any foreign assistance in its recent military engagement with India. He was reacting to the remarks made by Indian Army Vice Chief Lt. Gen. Rahul R Singh, who had indicated that China had given Pakistan weapon systems for trials.
Statement Given at National Defence University
Addressing the National Defence University in Islamabad, General Munir stated that any compromise on Pakistan's sovereignty would be addressed with a proportionate and proper response. He reiterated that Pakistan had successfully carried out Operation Banyan Al Marsus without any foreign military assistance.
Stresses Self-Reliance in Military Campaigns
Munir branded the foreign aid allegations as "irresponsible and unrealistic." He added that such statements depreciate the internal successes of the nation's military, which he claimed had been achieved through decades of struggle. His argument is that it is improper to involve other nations in something that is a bilateral matter.
Warning of Escalated Response to Civilian Targets
He warned that if India targets civilian areas, military bases, financial hubs, or ports, Pakistan will respond with broader military action. Munir further said that military success does not rely on media narratives, imported equipment, or political slogans, but instead on confidence, professionalism, operational clarity, organizational strength, and national will.
