Pakistani Military Spokesperson Echoes Hafiz Saeed’s Threats Amid India-Pakistan Tensions
Islamabad: Amid escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, the Pakistani military spokesperson, delivered a provocative speech echoing threats similar to those previously made by internationally designated terrorist Hafiz Saeed.
Chaudhry criticized India for suspending the Indus Water Treaty, warning that Pakistan would respond forcefully if India interfered with the treaty’s water flow. This suspension came in the wake of the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, which claimed the lives of 26 tourists, with the perpetrators still at large.

Notably, Chaudhry’s remarks closely resembled statements made by Hafiz Saeed, the founder of Lashkar-e-Taiba and mastermind behind the 2008 Mumbai attacks. Saeed is notorious for his inflammatory rhetoric against India and the United States, and videos of him delivering similar threats have been widely circulated online.
