Donald Trump-Aasim Munir Meeting: The White House meeting between US President Donald Trump and Pakistani Army Chief General Asim Munir has created panic in diplomatic circles. The special thing is that Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif or any civil representative was present in this meeting. This incident clearly indicates that the real power in Pakistan is still in the hands of the army.
India’s Defense Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh has termed this entire incident as shameful. He said in an interview to ANI that it would be shameful for any democratic country to meet the US President and disappear from the Prime Minister’s scene. Rajesh Singh also stated that the Pakistani army intervenes to economic decisions, which reflects a structural imbalance.

Why did Trump call Asim Munir?
According to a statement issued from the White House, Trump called Asim Munir because he had described Trump’s alleged efforts in stopping the war between Indo-Pak as eligible for the Nobel Peace Prize, but this argument was nothing more than the political stunt. The Government of India completely dismissed the notion of mediation behind this meeting, saying that the ceasefire after the May 7–10 military deadlock took place with a mutual dialogue between the DGMOS of India and Pakistan. No third party was involved in mediation. Regarding this, PM Modi talked on Trump for 35 minutes and told the US regarding the ceasefire that he was not responsible for this, it was possible with mutual harmony.
India’s stand on Pakistan
India once again reiterated that terrorism and conversation cannot run together. No bilateral talks are possible without concrete action against terrorist organizations active from the land of Pakistan. Recently, under Operation Sindoor, the Indian Army attacked the terrorist bases on Pakistan and Pakistan -occupied Kashmir. 100 terrorists were killed in this attack. After this, the army had also destroyed and destroyed many airbase of neighboring countries in response to the Pakistani attack.
