(Web Desk) - Even after a year, questions raised by Pakistan’s military over the Pahalgam false flag operation remain unanswered.
Director General Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR), Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, had raised several questions during a briefing on April 30, 2025, challenging the narrative surrounding the Pahalgam incident.
DG ISPR stated that if the claim is that the attack was carried out by alleged militants coming from Pakistani territory, it should be noted that Pahalgam is located more than 200 kilometres from any Pakistani town. He also pointed out the difficult terrain, saying it is not easily accessible and lacks all-weather roads, making quick movement and response highly questionable.
He further questioned the timeline presented in the First Information Report (FIR), noting that police reportedly reached the site within 10 minutes, which he said raises doubts and suggests possible pre-planning.
He also said there was no prior intelligence warning from Indian agencies, yet within minutes of the incident, claims emerged that attackers had crossed the border.

The briefing also highlighted concerns over attempts to shape a narrative portraying the incident as religiously motivated, alleging that Muslims were spared while Hindus were targeted. He rejected such framing, stating that terrorism has no religion.
He added that even within India, questions have been raised about the incident.
The DG ISPR said that Pakistan has presented concrete facts challenging India’s version of events, and accused Indian authorities of promoting a false narrative without sufficient evidence.
