Asim Munir on India, Kashmir: Pakistan army chief threatens India, calls Pak net regional stabiliser

Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir claimed that India had attacked the country twice without any provocation, calling it a “troubling absence of strategic foresight.” Blaming India for escalating regional tensions, Munir vowed a decisive response to any future Indian aggression.

Speaking at the Pakistan Naval Academy in Karachi on Saturday, Munir called Pakistan a “net regional stabiliser,” claiming that Islamabad had responded “resolutely” to “unprovoked” Indian military aggression.

“Despite provocations, Pakistan displayed restraint and maturity, reaffirming its commitment to regional peace,” he said.

Munir accused India of deliberately creating tension in the region just as Pakistan was nearing the elimination of terrorism.

Munir raked up the Kashmir issue, claiming that “at such a time, we must remember the sacrifices of our Kashmiri brothers who are struggling against India’s illegal occupation.”

“Pakistan is a strong advocate for a just resolution of the Kashmir issue in accordance with United Nations resolutions and the aspirations of the Kashmiri people,” he added.
