ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Pakistani military’s spokesman Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry has stated that there should be no speculation regarding the court martial of former senior military officer Faiz Hamid.
Briefing senior journalists, the Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) emphasised that the proceedings are part of a legal and judicial process. He added that once the implementation takes place and any decision is reached, the public will be informed accordingly.
The DG ISPR firmly remarked that guessing or speculating over the court martial is inappropriate. He raised concerns over the role of certain social media accounts, saying that these accounts are promoting narratives against the state and operating from abroad. He stressed that clarity would only come through due legal process, not through external commentary or online assumptions.
Pakistan did not attack Afghanistan
Also, Lt-Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry clarified that Pakistan had not carried out any attack on Afghanistan. He stated that Pakistan’s policy is focused on combating terrorism, not targeting the Afghan population. He highlighted that whenever Pakistan conducts an operation, it is publicly declared and done transparently. He added that Balochistan’s government is actively implementing the National Action Plan, and military representatives are part of the committees formed to counter terrorism.
He stressed that the Afghan regime must carry out verifiable action against terrorists operating across the border. Without such confirmable measures, no negotiations would be possible. He reiterated that Pakistan’s concerns are with the Afghan interim administration, not with the Afghan people.
The DG ISPR further highlighted the importance of regional cooperation in eliminating terrorism, underlining the need for clear and accountable steps in the interest of regional security.
