Just 50 days back, Pakistan’s army was crushed by the Indian Armed Forces. Now, Asim Munir, Chief of Army Staff (COAS) in Pakistan, is rekindling sparks of conflict with India. On Saturday, Field Marshal Asim Munir stated that Pakistan proved itself as a “net region stabiliser.” It repelled Indian military aggression twice. Furthermore, it demonstrated its commitment to regional security.
Tensions after Pahalgam terror attack
He blamed New Delhi for the escalation of tensions in the region after the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. He did so without any evidence, as usual. India had launched Operation Sindoor to target terror infrastructure in Pakistan. The two nations exchanged cross-border hostilities for four days. During this time, India heavily damaged Pakistan’s air bases and army capabilities, while successfully repelling drone and missile attacks.
Speaking at the Pakistan Naval Academy in Karachi on Saturday, Munir claimed Pakistan gave a “resolute response” to India. This statement came despite the fact that Pakistan reached out to India for a ceasefire after sustaining heavy losses. India had clarified its targeting of terror infrastructure. Munir claimed this was unprovoked aggression. He noted this was marked by a “troubling absence of strategic foresight”. India has already presented evidence of Pakistani involvement in the Pahalgam attack. However, the Pakistan Army Chief has strongly denied the allegations. He has called for a neutral probe.
He vowed a decisive response to any future Indian aggression. Munir said Pakistan will protect its sovereignty and national interests decisively and without hesitation.
Kashmir issue raised again
“Pakistan, despite grave provocations, acted with restraint and maturity. It demonstrated its commitment to regional peace and stability. This has led to Pakistan’s role as a net regional stabiliser,” he said. He also raked up the Kashmir issue. He stated, “Pakistan is a strong advocate for a just resolution of the Kashmir issue. This should be done in accordance with United Nations resolutions and the aspirations of the Kashmiri people.” Munir had reignited the issue by claiming that Kashmir was Pakistan’s “jugular vein”. He added, “At such a time, we must remember the sacrifices of our Kashmiri brothers. They are struggling against India’s illegal occupation.”
False Allegations on India for Waziristan Incident
Yesterday, at least 13 security personnel were killed in a suicide bombing in KP’s North Waziristan district in Pakistan. Pakistan blamed India for using its “assets” to intensify terrorist attacks in Pakistan. ISPR Director General Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry detailed “irrefutable evidence” of an Indian military personnel’s involvement. The ISPR statement said Munir emphasized the urgent need to strengthen the capabilities of civilian law enforcement agencies. This is especially true for the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police.
Field Marshal Munir also visited the Corps Headquarters in Peshawar. There, he was briefed on the prevailing security situation. He learned about ongoing counter-terrorism operations. This information is according to a statement by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR). He attended the funeral of martyrs of the incident at Bannu Garrison. Later, he visited the injured at Bannu Combined Military Hospital. The ISPR further said that the army chief vowed to bring all facilitators, abettors, and perpetrators of terrorism to justice. He assured swift and decisive retribution against those who undermine the country’s stability. Pakistan continues to accuse India of sponsoring terrorism there, without taking any accountability of its own actions.
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) of India strongly rejected all claims of Indian involvement. It released an official statement. The statement said, “We have seen an official statement by the Pakistan Army. They are seeking to blame India for the attack in Waziristan on 28 June. We reject this statement with the contempt it deserves.”
