Pakistan’s Army Chief Asim Munir is not able to withdraw from the agenda of Jammu and Kashmir. After the defeat of the Pakistani Army in Operation Sindoor, his fudge is clearly visible. This time, he has declared Pakistani terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir. Asim Munir described terrorism as a “legitimate struggle” in Jammu and Kashmir and said that his country will always stand with the people of Kashmir in the struggle.
It is worth noting that earlier on April 17, Asim Munir gave hatred and inflammatory statements about Kashmir, Two Nation Theory and Hindus. There was a terrorist attack in Pahalgam only 5 days after his statement. In this attack, the terrorists asked religion and killed 26 innocent tourists. On May 7, India showed its might in response to this terrorist attack.
Now Asim Munir has once again given a provocative statement about Kashmir. Due to which Pakistan is exposed to a loose attitude towards terrorism.
What did Munir say this time?
Munir addressed the passing out ceremony at the Pakistan Naval Academy in Karachi on Saturday, saying, “What India calls terrorism is actually a legitimate and legal conflict for freedom, which is recognized by international law.”
Pointing to Operation Sindoor, he claimed that people who have tried to suppress the wishes of the Kashmiri people and end the struggle rather than a solution have made the movement more relevant through their actions.
Munir said that Pakistan will always stand with the people of Kashmir in the struggle for self -determination. They said, “Pakistan strongly supports the justified solution of the Kashmir issue according to the United Nations’ proposals and the aspirations of the Kashmiri people.”
It is clear from Munir’s statement that Pakistan not only supports terrorists but also supports them moral support. After such statements, India needs to be alert and alert in view of the records of terrorist attack. Significantly, India has clearly stated that the operation vermilion is not finished, only has stopped.
What is Pakistan’s strategy?
Making a statement on Kashmir repeatedly, calling it a disputed in the United Nations has been a part of Pakistan’s strategy. Its purpose is to keep the Kashmir issue alive on international forums. A faction of Pakistan believes that the Kashmir issue has been internationally due to Operation Sindoor. Due to the two nuclear-rich countries of the world, the world’s vision is on the activities of India and Pakistan. Pakistan believes that this recent conflict has given international coverage to Kashmir and this issue can once again come to the table of conversation.
US President Trump’s statements have also repeatedly brought the issue of Jammu and Kashmir into discussion.
Asim Munir and the Government of Pakistan want to take advantage of these situations. That is why they are repeatedly making rhetoric on Kashmir. Significantly, recently Asim Munir has met Trump.
There is another reason for Pakistan’s foreign policy being focused on Kashmir. Pakistan is still trapped in severe internal crisis. TTP, Bloch Liberation Army attacks, political dissatisfaction, water issues are creating uproar in Pakistan.
On such an occasion, both the government and the army strengthen their position by raising the issue of Kashmir. Therefore, Asim Munir teases the raga of Kashmir on every possible occasion.
Are Asim Munir provoking terrorists to attack?
On April 17, Asim Munir said in ‘Over -Pakistani Convention 2025’ that the people of Pakistan must tell the story of their country to the children, so that they do not forget the story of Pakistan.
He had expressed hatred towards Hindus, saying, “Our ancestors thought that we are different from Hindus in every possible field of life. Our religion is different, our customs are different. Our culture is different and our thinking is different. Our ambitions are different.
In this address, Asim Munir described Kashmir as the vein of Pakistan’s neck. And said that, “Our and government’s attitude on Kashmir is absolutely clear. We will not forget it. We will not leave our Kashmiri brothers.”
After this statement of Munir, there was an attack in Pahalgam.
The question is whether Asim Munir is provoking Pakistan’s fringe terrorist element to attack Kashmir by making such statements again. Significantly, the responsibility of the April 17 attack was taken by the terror organization named TRF.
Munir’s rhetoric makes the Pakistani Army and ISI’s protection clear to terrorists, increasing the risk of attacks in India. These statements encourage terrorist organizations like Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed, who have already been involved in terrorist acts in India. Recently, there was a report that Pakistan is trying to re -activate the destroyed terrorist camps during Operation Sindoor.
Terrorism will be considered as act of war
Significantly, during the Pahalgam attack and operation vermilion, India has openly taken a stand against Pakistan sponsored terrorism. India has made it clear that if there is any terrorist attack on India in the future, then this act will be considered as a war of war or act of war against India. After this, India will give a befitting reply to this accordingly.
Is the path of ‘Operation Sindoor-2’ being prepared
Significantly, when there was a ceasefire on the call of Pakistan between India and Pakistan on May 10, then India and Defense Minister Rajnath Singh clearly said that the operation vermilion is not over, it has just stopped. The message of India was clear that if there were terrorist attacks anywhere on the land of India including Jammu and Kashmir, then India’s counter action would start again as Operation Sindoor-2.
PM Modi said in the name of the nation on 12 May that Operation Sindoor is now new normal. He further said that if there is any terrorist attack on India, then it will be answered.
“New Normal” means that if there is a terror attack on India now, then these terrorist attacks will be answered with accurate military actions, state -of -the -art weapons like Rafael, BrahMos missile, and Akash with indigenous weapons in quantity like Operation Sindoor.
Therefore, if Asim Munir is dreaming of any hand again, then he will have to be ready for the destructive and hurdle of India like May 7 and May 10.
