The director general of the Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR), Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, is addressing a press conference in Rawalpindi. At the beginning of the press conference, the DG ISPR congratulated the nation on the establishment of the Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) headquarters, stating that it was one of the most important steps towards providing the requisite synergy and jointness for military operations in the country. “This was debated a lot in the media, and we understand that the character of warfare has changed — now there are multidomain operations taking place.
It’s no more just land, sea and air; it’s in space, it’s in cyberspace, it is the informational domain, it’s intelligence-based, and war is fought in multiple domains,” he told reporters. The chief of the military’s media wing added that the CDF headquarters had been established on the directives and orders of the parliament; therefore, it was a “monumental and great day for the national security of Pakistan.” The DG ISPR then spoke about a creeping national security threat that the country was facing. “That threat emanates from a delusional mindset of a delusional person who has become captive to his own ego, thinking that his wishes are bigger than those of the state of Pakistan,” Lt Gen Chaudhry said, in an apparent reference to incarcerated PTI founder, Imran Khan. “His ego, his wishes, and frustrations have increased to such an extent that he thinks that the world would cease to exist without him.”
