Yes, it is fair to admit that.

However, it all undermines the Pakistani stance that it is Kashmiris who want freedom. Pakistan does not have a justification for keeping such a huge army anymore, now that we know it is not India but Pakistan who is the trouble maker.

  How come giving training to Kashmiris who want freedom from India became same as fighting in Kashmir? Nothing is undermined, as Pakistan always claimed and still claims that it is Kashmiris who are fighting India in Kashmir.   

Pakistan needs army because Pakistan considers Kashmir is part of Pakistan and India has occupied a part of Pakistan. Further, India also claims a part of Pakistan as theirs. Anyhow, with respect to population and GDP, Pakistan does not have huge armed force. Pakistan is not even competing with Indian armed forces as Pakistan spends fraction in defence what India spends that comes to around one dollar for every six dollar India spends on defence.
