Islamabad, May 8: Pakistan Major General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhary, the Director General of the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) claimed that Pakistan has "irrefutable evidence" of India’s involvement in the targeted killings of various individuals within its borders. These allegations come amid the ongoing Lok Sabha elections in India.
“India’s killing spree has spread to different countries now. From the killing of Sikh leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in another country, India has been involved in killings of individuals in Pakistan,”
said Major General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhary while addressing the media at the General Headquarters in Rawalpindi on Tuesday.
“Pakistan has irrefutable evidence of India’s involvement behind the killings,” said Major General Chaudhary adding that Pakistani intelligence agencies have uncovered India's strategies to deflect attention from its internal challenges through border aggression and fostering an 'anti-Pakistan' election narrative.

“We are very well aware and prepared for India’s plan to opt for aggression at the Line of Control (LoC) and divert attention from its internal issues through an “anti-Pakistan” narrative during the elections,” said Chaudhary. He added that there have been at least 120 speculative, 15 air space, and 59 technical violations committed by India along the LoC in 2024 as of now.
The DG ISPR claimed that India’s plan to suppress the opinion of people in Jammu and Kashmir during the ongoing Lok Sabha elections is also quite clear.
“India’s plan to suppress the opinion of people in Jammu and Kashmir during the ongoing Lok Sabha elections is also quite clear. Elections of five seats on five separate days are only aimed at suppressing the voice of Kashmiris and manipulating the poll outcome," he said.
Notably, External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar also spoke on these allegations earlier saying that there are large number of terrorists in Pakistan and terrorism is the industry the country has created. In an interview with the Economic Times, Jaishakar was asked how he would respond to the reports of alleged Indian involvement in the killing of wanted terrorists in Pakistan as well as other countries.
To this, Jaishankar said,
“Terrorists are there in large numbers in Pakistan, so statistically, things will happen to them. It’s an industry they have created".
On April 5, a report was published by UK-based newspaper - The Guardian - which stated that the Indian government carried out targeted assassination in Pakistan. The report in the British daily newspaper further claimed India carrying out as many as 20 killings in Pakistan dating back to 2020 and continued until as recently as 2023.
