ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s military on Wednesday accused India’s armed forces of reviving “delusional, fabricated and provocative propaganda” ahead of state elections, warning that chest-thumping by a nuclear-armed military could stoke a cycle of jingoism and destabilize South Asia. The statement comes five months after the May 2025 India-Pakistan conflict, termed “Marka-e-Haq” (“Battle of Truth”) by Pakistan’s military, which saw the two nations exchange artillery, missile and drone strikes before a US-brokered ceasefire was announced on May 10. The calm has largely held since the truce.
