Pakistan Army Presents Man It Says India Wrongly Identified as Militant Killed in Kashmir
Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said Pakistan showed the man’s ID card and picture to dispute India’s claim that a Lashkar-e-Taiba militant was killed.
- On Thursday, Pakistan's military disputed India's claim that security forces killed a Lashkar-e-Taiba commander in Kashmir, presenting Mohammad Asif as the man India allegedly misidentified as the slain militant.
- India's Ministry of Home Affairs reported the 'neutralisation' of 'Musa alias Asif Fauji' during 'ongoing long-sustained Operation Sheruwali,' while Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry identified Asif as a retired Havaldar from the SSG who performed VVIP duties.
- Asif, a resident of Pindi Gheb in Attock district, learned of his alleged death from family calls and expressed surprise that Indian media displayed his national identity card while reporting him as a 'Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist.'
- Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry dismissed the reports as fabricated, warning of 'very harsh' retaliation if India acts on its claims and calling the incident a 'shameful and embarrassing' strategic folly.
- Persistent tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbors continue, with rivalry centered on the disputed Himalayan region of Kashmir, which both Pakistan and India claim in full since their 1947 independence.
