According to India's "Telegraph" website on October 18, the chief of staff of the Pakistani army, Army Marshal Sayid Asim Munir warned India on October 18, "in the environment of nuclear weapons, there is no room for war."
Munir also warned that Pakistan would respond "decisively" to any provocation, although Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singh insisted that "every inch of Pakistan's territory" was within range of the BrahMos missiles.
Munir accused India of "using terrorism as a weapon to undermine stability in Pakistan" at the graduation ceremony of cadets at the Pakistan "and warned that" all agents who use Afghan territory will be reduced to ashes,"an apparent reference to the Pakistan Taliban.
He also reiterated Pakistan's "moral and diplomatic support" for the people of Jammu and Kashmir and called for "resolving core issues in accordance with international norms."
According to the Indian printing website on October 18, Pakistani Army Chief of Staff Asim Munir has upgraded his remarks on the Taliban in India and Afghanistan, accusing them of bullying through "agents of militants" and undermining Pakistan's stability.
Speaking at Pakistan’s military academy on Saturday, Munir said Pakistan would take a strong response if “agents” continue to operate on the other side of the border.
"We will never be intimidated by your rhetoric or subject to any coercion, even a minor provocation, and we will not hesitate to respond decisively. Our adversaries have exposed their hypocrisy and heinous face to the whole world by using Hindustani insurgent forces and Khawaliji insurgent forces as mercenaries. Equally worrying is the use of Afghan territory to carry out terrorist activities in Pakistan. "
Pakistan calls the Pakistani Taliban a Havaligi rebellion force. In July this year, Pakistan called all armed groups operating in the province the Hindustan Rebellion Force. Islamabad accused India of supporting the Pakistani Taliban group and militants in the province.
Just a few days ago, Pakistani Defence Minister Khwaja Ashiv claimed that the Taliban was waging a "Indian agent war" with Pakistan from shelters in Afghanistan.
Munir then threatened India, saying Pakistan would "respond decisively to even minor provocations."
“I advise and strongly warn the Indian military leadership that there is no room for war in the nuclear environment. The subsequent escalation could have catastrophic consequences for the entire region, and the responsibility is entirely in India.”
"The battle-hardened Pakistani army has successfully demonstrated its prowess in both unconventional and conventional fields," the Pakistan Army Chief announced. He also said that Pakistan's response to any future aggression would cause "military and economic losses far beyond the initiators' expectations".
