Pakistan army chief's Kashmir remarks cause anger in India
- On April 15 in Islamabad, Pakistani Army chief General Asim Munir delivered a provocative speech amid rising tensions following the killing of 26 civilians by terrorists in the vicinity of Pahalgam on April 22.
- The shooting and Munir's speech reflect Pakistan Army's longstanding focus on conflict with India and current attempts to rally support despite declining public standing and recent political unrest.
- Munir, appointed Army chief in November 2022 after serving as ISI chief during the 2019 Pulwama attack, emphasized Kashmir as Pakistan's 'jugular vein' to signify its vital importance.
- Munir highlighted that throughout history, only two nations have been established based on the principles of the Kalma: the first Islamic state founded by the Prophet and, several centuries later, Pakistan, thereby emphasizing Pakistan's deep-rooted connection to Islamic faith.
- These events and statements have deepened India’s concerns and suggest Pakistan's military aims to strengthen nationalist resolve at a time of internal challenges and strained relations.
