00:00General Ahmad Sharif, thank you very much for joining us in this interview.
00:03Let me begin where it ended. Do you think this ceasefire would hold?
00:09Pakistan Armed Forces are a profession for our armed forces, and we adhere to the commitments that we make.
00:16And we follow in light and spirit the instructions of the political government and the commitments that they hold.
00:22So as far as Pakistan Army is concerned, Pakistan Armed Forces is concerned, the ceasefire windhold is holding.
00:28And there have been confidence-building barriers in communications between both the sites.
00:35However, if any violation occurs, our response is always there, there and then.
00:43But it is only directed at those posts and those positions from where the violations of the ceasefire are.
00:48We never target the seniors. We never target any seniors' structure. That's the way we are.
00:53So our message is clear. We are for peace.
00:57We strive for peace. But with any violations that have occurred, an aggression is made in Pakistan.
01:03And then now this post will be very assured with peace shift in people's truth.
01:07India is clearly not interested in restoring the Indus Waters Treaty.
01:14And Pakistan described it as an act of war, as an army.
01:19What your role would be here?
01:22I think the government of Pasla has made it absolutely clear.
01:25There is nothing more for the army to say.
01:28I can only say that it is some nats, madmen, who can think that he can stop water of 240 million plus people in this country.
01:40They are not, cannot.
01:41And what, as an army, what an action you would take in order to make this not happen?
01:49You want to, you would explain those actions?
01:52I hope that time doesn't come, but it will be such actions that the world will see.
02:00And the consequences of that needy fell for years and decades to come.
02:06Nobody there stopped water of Pakistan.
02:10What is the difference in the 2025 conflict from the previous conflicts with India?
02:17What's new in this conflict?
02:18I think the first thing that is new is that it was, as far as the Indians are concerned, they built this conflict on pack of lies.
02:29And starting from the Paragam incident post that, did you see?
02:33Not a shred of evidence.
02:35Not today.
02:37Two, three days ago, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has categorically come and stated that the investigation of the Paragam was still going well.
02:44So, an aggression, blatant aggression against the children, against the innocent citizens of Pakistan, women, elderly, destruction of mosques, desecration of only Paran.
03:00On what?
03:01On sheer allegations backed up by nothing.
03:04So, first, it is based on pack of lies.
03:07Secondly, from the Indian perspective, I think there was more theater involved here in it.
03:15And fake news and propaganda, the way that dominated the Indian action, that is flabbergast.
03:26Because we don't see in professional armies and responsible countries to create the sort of war mongering and hysteria that was created before 6th and 7th.
03:41I don't think the world has ever seen any country which claims itself at one hand to be Vishwa Guru thumping chest on their media and had their government thumping chest and feeling proud that they have killed children and women.
03:56This is horrendous.
03:57This mindset that is being exhibited here by the Indian society and particularly the political elite.
04:03I think this is something new.
04:06This is something that the world needs to see very carefully.
04:09And then putting out false claims as if the whole of the world and the people around them are just not seeing anything and they are stupid.
04:20That we have taken over Samba, that the Karachi port is burning, that we have taken out aircraft, hiding behind lies even till today.
04:29That their aircraft has been shot down, not recognizing them, not acknowledging their dead ones, not acknowledging the people who have fallen in line of India, not even acknowledging them.
04:41So this hebristic mindset, this thing that you can cut off the public from the input in today's world, where each projectile, each UAV, each aircraft leaves a digital signature.
04:53I think it is so reckless behavior that the Indians showed, firing missiles and firing projectiles into their own territory in the areas of the Indian Punjab where the Sikh community is limited.
05:07And so that is, I think, something which is absolutely new, that this sort of mindset is prevailing, which I don't know from where this core confidence comes.
05:24And this self-entitlement comes that you can get away with everything.
05:27This is at the peril of 1.6 billion people of this region and beyond.
05:32So this is something new.
05:34In terms of warfare, what's the new, you think?
05:36In terms of warfare, you saw that, as I've already alluded, that it is that you mix your ground actions with so much fake news and so much disinformation and propaganda
05:48that it is difficult for people to understand that what is real and what is wrong.
05:54Even once the conflict has actually ended over there, still you see so much nonsense coming out from the, and so that is something which is new.
06:09And as far as the conventional war is concerned, as well as the exchanges that occurred on there, I think what's new is that the Indians thought that based on their conventional
06:22forces based on the conventional power, they can course in the Pakistan and so Pakistan showed very clearly that only a partial response from us, because we must understand that what the Pakistan armed forces have responded so far in this conflict, it is just one part of the conventional forces.
06:46Indian forces, Indian wanted that they need so that through the escalation on the eastern border, there are forces who are involved in counterterrorism against the Indian proxies, the terrorist proxies that the Indians have mounted on Pakistan for attackers.
06:58That there is, that there is a pull occurred on those forces and they go out towards the eastern front and not a single soldier was also only through the, through the partial application
07:07of forces and some part of our niche technologies.
07:11We have given a response that forced the Indian to this de-escalation.
07:17So new is that the Indians and I think the world at large have understood there is that don't underestimate the resolve of the people of Pakistan and its armed forces.
07:28And, uh, uh, uh, uh, don't think that, uh, uh, uh, the, uh, remain in any confusion about it and, uh, we are, uh, we are ready and we will defend our
07:36territorial integrity and defense and sovereignty at all costs.
07:39Can you confirm the figure that the prime minister said yesterday, six aeroplanes, Indian aeroplanes were, uh, downed?
07:47Yes, I can confirm that the sixth aircraft is a Mirage 2000.
07:50Russia is a friendly country.
07:51It's weapons been used in, uh, during this conflict.
07:53Is it a matter of concern to you?
07:54Yes.
07:55Yes.
07:56Yes.
07:57Yes.
07:58Yes.
07:59Yes.
08:00Yes.
08:01Yes.
08:02Yes.
08:03Yes.
08:04Well, I guess, uh, and I told that, say the six aircraft have been acquired, have been down on the, uh, uh, have been down.
08:08And, uh, I can confirm that it might than that same.
08:11اع cause of Mrs. Rafaldshovs.
08:12Russia is a friendly country, its weapons been used in during this conflict.
08:17a matter of concern to you this is another aspect i think where the indians have shown that oh
08:24how unhinged they have behaved in this uh that that is that it is certain friendly countries
08:30certain countries are providing weapons to us they are going for boycott and over there
08:35so uh the the russian weapons the the french aircraft that they had they all are very fine
08:40weapons very good systems uh it's it's more important is who you the important question here
08:47is who uses them and how uses all the use so if we start going against the countries of the world
08:55on the basis of that you provide this thing to him and this thing to that i think this this mindset
09:00is is something that that should be encouraged because uh the technologies
09:10uh and this with the they are pervasive they are ambiguous we are living in a very connected world
09:17there is international trade uh of technology also of arms also and so many things so
09:26we we we we we we don't see it i think we should not be seeing it in this terms
09:31and we should not be making our uh industry relations based on this however we have very
09:36astute diplomatic corps and uh they are the ones who who take the calls and shots from this as a
09:43as a as a as a army person uh i am i am more concerned is who is firing and how is fighting or
09:50who who is using the weapon and how is using the weapon that's my main concern pakistan uh being
09:57acquiring the jf-35 the chinese steel jet at what stage it is when it it might be uh it might end
10:06of the surface or be at pakistan's process so development strategy of pakistan armed forces in
10:11up is is and how is an evolving thing and we keep on striving for uh and work for new technologies
10:18i'm not in a position to say that what and when what we will be because that's part of the
10:26our development strategy so i will not at all this comment on that but i can confirm to that we
10:30the pakistan army is very uh in a very professional manner keeps on evaluating uh its responses and uh
10:39vis-a-vis what the adversaries have and uh we keep on improving upon them as per the requirement of the
10:46packing field moving to um that night that every morning when the united states has intervened
10:53uh they were according to the united states alarming intelligence that prompt them to interfere
11:04let me first say and i will repeat it i've said it before also that we understand that the a military
11:13conflict between two libel nuclear states is a sheer stupidity it is an absurd idea and it is inconceived
11:23and that's what the world also understands all the senior voices all the uh mature countries all the
11:31bigger countries understand that very good uh i i don't have the specifics of because uh of the
11:40how the the the diplomatic uh and very very hectic diplomatic exchanges that were going on because
11:46that's where the mystery of on the face is privy to that and they are there is it's it's what they
11:53they can only comment on that i can tell you that that as the during this whole conflict this
12:00military conflict uh mark i have uh the escalation control was with pakistan and pakistan despite the
12:10reckless very aggressive very aggressive and very uh i would say immature barrier and the way the indians
12:16were uh uh going on right from 22nd of may of rosh pahama often acted in a very responsible manner
12:26if you see uh on the night of six and seventh way once they blatantly violated
12:32pakistan territory and they attacked the innocent civilians they hit the mosque in pakistan
12:42the pakistan air force and the pakistan armed forces reacted back in a very responsive manner
12:48we only targeted that hit the aircraft those aircraft which were part and which were used to hit the
12:56civilian infrastructure and and in ma and and in uh in in in in in in the signals including the
13:04gentlemen we could have taken out more but we showed restraint they then
13:12went into further frenzy domestically and internationally more just thumping
13:23and then they started sending these swarmed roads
13:28we neutralized we took them out they fired a bill a design a projectile into pakistan we took it out
13:36so we were behaving very very in a responsible manner maintaining the escalation and once on 10th of may
13:47we responded and before the 10th of may before our response they fired multiple missiles at our bases
13:58they were trying to send a message to pakistan
14:00that don't go for your retribution
14:07they thought that they can unilaterally come they can kill the innocent civilians children women
14:1422 women and children of pakistan are dead they have a rashad to this reckless aggression and they thought
14:23that they pakistan will not respond and they send messiahs on our bases what they were trying to tell us
14:29they were trying to deter us forgetting that you can only deter who can be deterred
14:38pakistani nation the people of pakistan and its armed forces
14:41as they were and will never bore down to caution and aggression and indian hijab
14:47absolutely we're clear on that so we responded on the morning of 10th may
14:52the will of the will of allah it was a measured calibrated proportional
15:01response it was not the full application of our convention forces
15:08it was a partial response
15:10we hit we selected 26 targets we hit 26 targets
15:17the world saw it the indians saw it and then it was the indian defense spokesperson who came
15:24publicly on the morning of 10th of may and said that we asked for the explanation if pakistan is ready
15:30so of course we are a peace of a country we prefer peace so that's all we could we we were the one
15:39over controlling the escalation and the international community was watching it very carefully
15:46the rational behavior the very just behavior of pakistan and also the recklessness the aggression
15:56the cruelty that the indians were exhibiting the chest thumping that they were done they were doing
16:02the fake propaganda that they were speaking the hate and the warmongering that is still continuing to go on
16:07some of the satellite images uh show uh damage in some of pakistan air bases especially the one
16:14year raheem yar khan can you tell us in terms of numbers what are what were pakistan
16:19armies losses in this conflict so one thing uh another thing that uh you uh must have seen that
16:26the pakistan armed forces and the pakistan as a state has been very transparent or about this conflict
16:34and that comes from a from our culture and the ethos that the pakistan armed forces won
16:43we have been facing uh the war on terror for two decades more than two decades because of the
16:49the indian sponsored terrorism we have never hit that process i can give you a very clear figure
16:58since january 22 2024 uh there have been 3700 terror incidents in pakistan we don't hide them
17:07there have been
17:08uh i think uh more than 2500 pakistanis who have been maimed for life lost their limbs we don't have
17:19that there are more than 1300 of the syrians and soldiers who have lost their lives shahi we don't hide
17:28it we are a battle harder than army and we don't have heads so even even so if you saw this conflict
17:36from the day one on six and seven night there was these ghastly attacks on seventh morning the media
17:43and international media we took ourself to all these so-called alleged terror camps everywhere
17:50murid ke bahawalpur everywhere everywhere and we showed the media you tell us where are those terror camps
18:00you tell us that aren't these the mosques are these the seminaries where the students and the women
18:06and these are aren't these not civilian houses that were hit
18:09similarly we have come very clear we have counted our shaheeds we are warning them we are remembering
18:20them we are honoring them 40 or 40 civilians of pakistan have lost lives 22 of them are women and
18:26children we have lost 12 brave soldiers of pakistan from pakistan air force and pakistan army
18:33we have declared each and every loss we have we was the indians fired the missiles on pakistan the
18:43night of 9th and 10th the one you are already i personally came immediately on national television
18:49and i declared rather than hiding anything that indians have done yet another aggression
18:56they have fired fired missiles rrpf bases we named those bases then
19:01and and after interestingly once they have got the message we have got the our just swift retribution
19:11on the morning of 10th may and once they were running around and asking everyone to de-escalate
19:18and asking that we should go on a ceasefire at that time in the coward manner in the the character
19:26that the indian uh armed forces have they fired yet another salvo at the bolari and jack papa those
19:32places why because they have understood they have they they have understood that how much heavy damage
19:37they have taken and they wanted for their public to tell the okay that we have also scored something
19:42that was what they were trying to do at the same time while they were trying they were saying that we
19:47want to talk talk talk talk talk and talk so we never hid it we lost our squad leader in that attack the only
19:58damage that has occurred now the specific damage and i've already said yes the damage has occurred to
20:06infrastructure
20:08and such damages in military conflict in wars are supposed to be taken and absorb
20:14all these bases there are protocols there are battles there are ways through which pakhtar air force
20:23immediately sets this basis operation they are all operational there was one minor damage to one
20:30aircraft that is being repaired and he began operations actually what the indians by creating this
20:36high post this conflict about this damage is if they want to divert the attention
20:41from the embarrassment that they have served suffered we hit them we we targeted at those at those 26
20:49places we targeted their very prized air defense assets we took down their six aircrafts we took down
20:56their niche technologies they think they thought that they had very good air defense we hit them right
21:01where the where this air defense system was so whatever comes from the indian propaganda and their indian side
21:10uh we have stopped giving it much attention because a media a country which can fabricate lies
21:17minute after minute which can claim anything which in a time of conflict shuts down thousands and
21:25thousands of websites twitter accounts and social media pages which ask the world not to report about
21:32india which gets sensitive to on on that if some country has at some time sent us some weaponry that we
21:39are bought and we are losing on that it start getting jumping and start acting like it in in a very in a
21:45childish amateurish manner i don't think that that countries can be filled can be taken more seriously
21:51on uh on on on many accounts how do you evaluate saudi arabia united states and china's role in reaching this
21:59sees fire you see the uh the role the very positive and uh the the the wonderful role that the uh great
22:11powers of this uh world have played usc china saudi arabia and others uh the the ministry of foreign
22:18affairs is the best one to comment uh as far as saudi arabia is concerned only arab india our audience and
22:27the perspective i can say that we the people of pakistan have great history uh there is the the the the
22:37the bond between the people of pakistan and the saudi and the gulf region is very strong and we in the
22:45armed forces have very close bond with the kingdom of saudi arabia and this is a relationship that is based on
22:55uh respect uh that is based on uh uh great admiration of the uh needership uh of his royal highness
23:07uh plus muhammad bin salman that is here in pakistan and uh yes saudi's are our brothers brothers
23:17whatever and uh and uh that's the way people and and and how the saudi's and our other friends acted
23:24this is how the uh brothers act so and and i think also as i said earlier
23:34the warning that uh pakistan is fighting a very just war that uh who is that right and who is that wrong
23:43it was absolutely clear as clear as the sun is that uh that we have been wrong we are on the right
23:53there was no evidence we were asking if there is evidence put it in front in front of a neutral
23:59transparent commission there was blatant aggression this is something that the world felt and using
24:08penal to pay general ahmed sharif thank you very much for your time
