Former DG ISPR warns Modi against digital provocations

Lt Gen (retd) Asif Ghafoor, former Director-General of ISPR, issued a stern warning to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, cautioning against continued misinformation and provocations targeting Pakistan. Ghafoor’s statement, released via the social media platform X, accused Indian media and state actors of manufacturing narratives to justify aggression. He emphasised Pakistan’s readiness to counter both physical and digital threats and urged restraint and responsibility from Indian leadership. His remarks come amidst escalating digital confrontations, including hacking threats and disinformation campaigns, underlining the role of digital warfare in modern geopolitical crises.

The former ISPR chief also alleged that X had hidden one of his tweets criticising Modi.
