ISLAMABAD: Pakistan army on Thursday strongly reacted to Indian military general remarks about Azad Kashmir and called it a "delusional mindset ."

In a statement, ISPR said the unwarranted statement of a high-ranking Indian Army Officer concerning Azad Jammu and Kashmir is an apt manifestation of Indian Armed Forces’ delusional mindset and showcases the vivid imprint of domestic political showboating on Indian military thought.

"The fallacious remarks and unfounded allegations of so called “launch-pads” and “terrorists” are an attempt to divert attention from Indian Army’s repressive use of force and gross human rights violations against innocent, unarmed Kashmiris striving for their right of self-determination, upheld by International Law and enshrined in UN Security Council Resolutions," said ISPR.

On Tuesday, the Northern Army Commander of Indian army  Lt General Upendra Dwivedi in a statement said that if government order to attack on Azad Kashmir, India army ready to excute the order.

However, Pakistan army called the Indian General Officer’s statement as  "lofty claims and surreal ambition is intellectually insulting."

"Pakistan military is a force for good and a proponent of regional peace and stability. This desire for peace, however, is matched with our capability and preparation to thwart any misadventure or aggression against our territory, an assertion comprehensively validated on numerous occasions, including recently in the Balakot episode.

"In the interest of peace for the region, the Indian military would do well to abstain from irresponsible rhetoric and vitriolic communication to shore up electoral support for their political masters’ regressive ideology," said ISPRA
