Reports state that former Pakistani defense personnel, Gulam Mustafa, expressed his concerns over the budget. He emphasized that India’s defense budget poses a direct threat to Pakistan.

According to Mustafa, India aims to establish itself as a “Akhand Bharat,” referring to a unified India, which he views as a direct threat to neighboring countries, including Afghanistan.

Mustafa further stated that India has operations in oceans from Indonesia to Malaysia, and that India has also strengthened its naval forces.
