The DG ISPR has said that the Indian government should “have some sense” and act responsibly, as neighbours should.

DG Chaudhry said the first thing was to “put some sense” into the people with such hubris.

“The first and foremost thing is to tell them that don’t externalise your internal problems and don’t internalise your external problems,” he said.

He said that friendly countries in the neighbourhood can help the situation and jointly counter this regional threat.

“Have some sense. And don’t try to act like a regional hegemon, you are not and respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of other states,” he said. “Live like a responsible state.”
