Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor Friday said Indian Chief of Army Staff Bipin Rawat is repeatedly provoking a war through his irresponsible statements, endangering regional peace for electioneering of his political masters.

In a series of tweets, he said the Indian army chief has achieved nothing other than turning his military into a rogue force. “Indian COAS repeatedly provoking war through irresponsible statements endangering regional peace for electioneering of political masters. From fake surgical strike todate his only success has been to turn Indian Army into a rogue force and getting them killed,” he posted on his Twitter handle.

The DG ISPR said that Indian army chief’s statements are coupled with blood of innocents on hand and losses to the Indian forces at the hands of Pakistan’s armed forces. “Indian Army Chief’s statements coupled with blood of innocents on hand, losses to Indian forces at the hands of Pakistan Armed Forces, heli crashes due to so called tech fault cum fratricide just to become Indian CDS is actually at the cost of professional military ethos,” he wrote on Twitter.

CDS is an acronym for chief of the defence staff, a proposed position for the combined head of the Indian Army, Air Force and Indian Navy.
