Speaking at Pakistan Military Academy in Abbottabad’s Kakul, Field Marshal Munir said it is ‘disconcerting that Afghan soil is being used for terrorism in Pakistan’.
What Munir has achieved with Trump is a return to normal, ironing out the post-Abbottabad crease. The White House picture gives us insight into how Pakistan survives, occasionally thrives and thinks.
Munir reached separately Monday, not as part of the SCO delegation. He is likely to hold meetings with Chinese officials and attend the Victory Day parade on 3 September.
From Munir’s point of view, a few bumps here and there is par for the course. He isn’t going to drive his dumper truck to its doom. He wants to use it as a weapon.
Operation Sindhoor came as a blessing for Asim Munir. He could claim to have “won a war” and get promoted to a field marshal’s post. But the narrative hasn’t held.
Islamabad-based think-tank PICSS's new report says Pakistan saw 'pronounced escalation' in violence last year, with 3,413 conflict-related deaths compared to 1,950 in previous year.
Many of you might think I got something so wrong in National Interest pieces written this year. I might disagree! But some deserve a Mea Culpa. I’d deal with the most recent this week.
Did he question his own establishment when they were sipping cups of tea and harping about strategic masterpiece a couple of years back ? This man has a high chance of facing the same fate as Zia Ul Haq and it shall be his own doing !
Imagine Pakistan playing the Islamic card infront of a group which follows the stricter version of Islam. Losers will always be losers. The can’t even win the narrative of being “more Islamic”
