Pakistan Army Warns of Cataclysmic Devastation After Recent Indian Remarks
Islamabad — The Pakistan Army issued a sharp warning on Saturday in response to provocative statements from Indian political and military leaders, cautioning that any renewed conflict could trigger “cataclysmic devastation” on both sides.
According to the statement, recent comments by Indian officials—including threats to “erase Pakistan from the map”—signal an attempt to manufacture pretexts for aggression. The Pakistani armed forces condemned these “irresponsible” and “jingoistic” remarks as dangerous provocations.
India’s Defence Minister had recently asserted that the country could cross any border whenever needed to protect national integrity. Indian Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi also warned Pakistan to cease supporting terrorism, stating that the restraint shown during “Operation Sindoor” would not be repeated in a future conflict. The Indian Air Force chief claimed that multiple Pakistani aircraft, including F-16 jets, were destroyed or damaged in past operations.
In its retaliation, the Pakistan Army declared that in the event of renewed hostilities, it would respond decisively and without hesitation. The military emphasised that Pakistan has adopted a “new normal of response” that is swift, destructive, and broad in reach. It warned that no part of Indian territory would be immune from retaliatory strikes.
Addressing the “erasing from map” rhetoric, the statement issued a stern rejoinder: any attempt to wipe out Pakistan would meet with mutual destruction. It also referenced India’s recent military actions earlier in the year, suggesting that tensions had already brought the two nuclear-armed nations perilously close to war.
The Pakistani military accused Indian leadership of “fabricating arbitrary pretexts” for conflict and stated that such escalation would severely endanger regional peace and stability in South Asia.
Pakistan’s position signals heightened military alert and underscores the intensifying rhetoric between the two nations. As both sides posture aggressively, international observers warn that the potential for miscalculation in the volatile India-Pakistan rivalry remains alarmingly high.
