Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir on Monday dismissed India's claims of Islamabad receiving live strategic support from China during Operation Sindoor, dismissing them as "irresponsible and factually incorrect."
"Insinuations regarding external support in Pakistan's successful Operation Bunyanum Marsoos are irresponsible and factually incorrect and reflect a chronic reluctance to acknowledge indigenous capability and institutional resilience developed over decades of strategic prudence," he said.
Munir, in a veiled threat to India, further reiterated that any further challenge to Pakistan's sovereignty will be met with a swift and resolute response without any constraints or inhibitions.
“Naming other states as participants in the purely bilateral military conflagration is also a shoddy attempt at playing camp politics...," he said.
His remarks came in response to the Indian Army's Deputy Chief Lt Gen Rahul R Singh, who stated that Beijing was active behind the scenes during India's four-day conflict with Pakistan.
“If you were to look at statistics from the last five years, 81% of the military hardware that Pakistan gets is from China. In the conflict, China was able to test its weapons against other weapons, so it is like a live lab available to them,” Deputy Chief Singh said.
