Pakistan’s military media wing, the Inter-Services Public Relations, has issued a strong response to reported statements attributed to the Indian Army Chief, describing them as dangerous and irresponsible in the context of regional security.
The statement comes amid renewed tensions between Pakistan and India, with both countries frequently exchanging diplomatic and security-related warnings.
According to the ISPR statement, any threat suggesting the erasure of a nuclear-armed state from the map reflects “mental collapse, war hysteria and extremely dangerous thinking.”
The military spokesperson emphasized that such rhetoric undermines regional stability and poses a serious risk to peace in South Asia.
Officials said Pakistan, as a sovereign and nuclear-armed state, cannot be ignored in any geopolitical or strategic framework.

The statement stressed that Pakistan is an established nuclear power and an inseparable part of South Asia’s geography and history.
It added that attempts to deny or undermine Pakistan’s existence are not only unrealistic but also destabilizing for the entire region.
The ISPR further noted that responsible nuclear states are expected to maintain restraint and avoid language that could escalate tensions.
The statement also criticized what it described as repeated failures by Indian leadership to learn from regional realities over the past several decades.
It said such rhetoric has repeatedly pushed the region toward crises rather than encouraging dialogue or stability.
The military media wing argued that confrontational messaging contributes to increased mistrust between nuclear-armed neighbors.
The ISPR urged India to adopt a policy of peaceful coexistence and recognize the importance of stability in South Asia.
It stated that aggressive rhetoric does not resolve disputes but instead deepens existing tensions.
Pakistan reiterated that it remains a responsible nuclear state committed to strategic restraint, regional peace and diplomatic engagement.
Security analysts note that such exchanges highlight the fragile nature of Pakistan-India relations, particularly in the context of nuclear deterrence, border tensions and long-standing disputes including Kashmir.
