India’s Stand
- Nature of Allegation: India claimed that Pakistan used Chinese surveillance drones, intelligence inputs, and logistical support during border clashes in May 2025, particularly near the Line of Control (LoC).
- India’s Security Officials: Unnamed Indian intelligence sources stated that Chinese technology and military infrastructure indirectly aided Pakistani troop movements and positions.
- Strategic Concern: Indian defense analysts see this as a sign of deepening military collaboration between China and Pakistan, especially in contested regions like Gilgit-Baltistan.
Asif Munir response on India Allegation
- Army Chief Gen. Asim Munir (now Field Marshal) strongly denied any Chinese involvement, calling India’s claims “factually incorrect and irresponsible.”
- Munir emphasised that Pakistan acted independently and did not require external military assistance.
China’s Position
- China officially downplayed the situation, stating it “respects the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries” and urged both sides to maintain regional peace.
- Beijing labelled the allegations as “unfounded and provocative,” seeking to avoid escalation with India.

Bilawal Bhutto remarks
On July 5, Bilawal expressed uncertainty about the location of Jaish-e-Mohammad leader Masood Azhar and UN‑designated terrorist Hafiz Saeed, stating “we do not know where he is” and suggesting he could be in Afghanistan. His remarks sparked debate and speculation over whether this was a veiled message to India or a genuine acknowledgment of intelligence gaps
On July 6, Bilawal suggested Pakistan might deport “individuals of concern” to India as a confidence-building measure—conditional on reciprocal cooperation from New Delhi. This provoked sharp criticism from PTI, accusing him of compromising national security and “appeasing” India
Bilawal’s public diplomacy alternates between assertive (threats over water and counter-terrorism) and conciliatory, reflecting an attempt to balance domestic pressure with international diplomatic expectations.
