Amidst tension with India, Pakistan continued to be a lion in the beginning, but now it is seeking help in front of powerful countries. Even the military general Asim Munir there has disappeared leaving the Oljulul statements. He is estimated to be underground or run away from the country in Pak media itself. Whether Munir or all previous military leaders, everyone gave air to the Kashmir issue to increase their strength. Even its effect was that the army became a separate power, which began to affect political power.
Whenever people in Pakistan raise questions like inflation or unemployment, governments with army and army support turn their attention to Kashmir. She says that the real enemy is India and the country will be able to progress only after finding Kashmir. Due to this, the anger of the people diverts and they start mixing yes in the army. With this excuse, the army gets heavy budget, special rights and politics.
Overall, Kashmir has become an excuse, which the Army, roasted, strengthened itself so that the real government also started to fear them. Now the condition is that the real strength there is not with the government, but with the army, the same governments continued to form.
With the partition of the country, the process of making Kashmir a weapon started.
The first military coup in Pakistan took place in the late fifty. Then, while removing the government of Feroz Khan Noon, General Ayub Khan became the military ruler of the country and later declared himself a president. Meanwhile, the economic condition of the country was getting crispy, then Radra Khan took a big decision and decided to fight India.
It was August 1965, when Islamabad started Operation Gibraltar. Under this, he sent his soldiers in Kashmir in an intelligence way so that the Muslims there can be isolated against India. Although the Kashmiri population did not revolt, on the contrary, India got information about intruders. With our action, there was a war between the two.
Although the fight between the UN-rescue was stopped, but through this, General Khan tried to show that the army is the real strength of the country and it will be able to save the country. He promoted tribal fighters and hidden operations in Kashmir and introduced this entire confrontation in such a way that the Pakistani people got away from real issues.
After this, General Jia-ul-Haq came.
Although there were technically Prime Minister and President, but he only remained puppet, he used to take real decisions. Haq used the Kashmir issue very cleverly. He started sending Mujahideen fighters fighting against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan to Kashmir.
At the same time, a terrorist organizations like Hizbul Mujahideen were formed, who were Kashmiri in appearance, but were actually operating from Pakistan. Zia did this so that people’s attention would be removed from their dictatorship, martial law and weakening economy. At the same time, work on nuclear reserves in Pakistan was starting to start.
Since then America needed Pakistan against the Soviet Union (now Russia) in Afghanistan, it also supported Jia. Meanwhile, Jia continued to use Kashmir fiercely to cover the troubles of her country.
General Pervez Musharraf was several these steps ahead.
He conspired Kargil against India in the year 1999. He sent the Pakistani Army and the terrorists secretly Kargil (now in Ladakh) of Kashmir and showed them like a Kashmiri Freedom Fighters. Musharraf showed that Kashmiri wants separation from India, while these were actually the people of the Pakistani Army, who were plants.
This made Musharraf’s image of a strong leader. On the other hand, this general was also telling himself to America against the 9/11 terror attack. With this dual policy, Musharraf made sure that the importance of the army should remain, whether it is in the eyes of America or Pakistanis.
Between 2007 and 2013, General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani was there.
During Kayani, the Pakistani Army made the Kashmir issue a big weapon for military budget and diplomatic pressure. After the 2008 Mumbai attack, Pakistan saved leaders of terrorist groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba like Hafiz Saeed. These groups were constantly defended in the name of independence of Kashmir. At the same time, the military chief never allowed Kashmir to move away from the center during the budget, so that the army continued to get financial help.
After this, General Rahel Sharif, who was a military ruler for almost four years, gave further air to Kashmir, especially after Uri attack in 2016 and India’s surgical strike.
Actually, after the Uri terror attack, Sharif redeemed our action as an opportunity. He intensified firing on LoC so that people feel that the Pak army is giving a befitting reply to India. In fact, all this was done so that the people of Pakistan and the government feel that the army is the real protector, and always join the upper-hand.
General Sharif used to have double policies.
During the era of Sharif, action was going on against internal terrorism, while the terrorist groups who focused on Kashmir, such as Lashkar-e-Taiba, did not even touch it. This kept the world visible that the Pakistani army is strict against tarrism, but at the same time the Kashmir policy of the army continued separately.
In the year 2022, General Asim Munir came there, who still remains.
This entire period was of heavy political instability there, in which the army was apparently. At the same time, Munir started big statements about Kashmir. For example, Kashmir was described as the Jagular Wayne of Pakistan, that is, the nerve of the neck without which the person (country) could not live here.
Munir to Nation Theory began to indicate that since Kashmir is Muslim-Bahul, it should not be in India. Terrorists continued to bearly and rushed in the name of Kashmir. Recently, just before the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Munir gave many inverted statements about Kashmir. Now there are speculations about these generals that they are hiding somewhere after being afraid of India.
