Pakistani army General Syed Asim Munir, who has been speculated for so long that he is “hiding”, stood determined at the top of the tank and said, “Let no ambiguity. Any military mistakes in India meet with a quick, decisive and notch reaction.”
The statement came on Thursday, weeks after the terrorist attack of Pahalgam acidify the already fragile relationship between India and Pakistan.
Asim Munir, who has only a few days before the terrorist attack of Pahalgam, called Kashmir as a “jugular vein” of Pakistan, now captivated the center to determine the Islamic tone in the middle of a sharp tension between Pakistan and India.

Munir described Kashmir as “jugular vein”, testified of a deeply woven Pakistani cultural narrative and vocabulary, which meant how Pakistan considers Kashmir essential for his national identity. In the same speech, General Munir said, “We will not leave our Kashmir brothers in their heroic struggle that they are leading against the Indian occupation.”
April 26 Asim Munir addressed cadets for graduation for the front military academy of the country. He triggered the “theory of two nations” -Rámec after the founding of Pakistan in 1947, which claims that the Hinda and Muslims are independent nations that need a separate homeland.
The Pakistani authorities firmly denied any connection between General Munira’s statements and a recent attack in Kashmir.

ASIM IFTIKAR AHMAD, a Pakistan permanent UN, rejected the Indian accusation of Pakistan’s involvement and stressed that the basic cause of riots in South Asia remains a long -term unresolved issue of Kashmir.
General Munir on his part spoke from the terrorist attack of Pahalgam explicitly an ideological term that indicates that he is eliminated to believe that long -term peace with India is possible.
After attacking on Indian security forces in Kashmir in 2016 and 2019, India responded by hitting what he said were terrorist camps inside Pakistan.
Theory of two nations and Kashmir
The theory of two nations has long formed Pakistani national identity and foreign policy, while military leaders of Islamabad historically emphasized it during the period of tensions with India and softened their attitude when it was possible diplomacy.
Since the division of British India in 1947, Kashmir has remained an epicenter of the Indian-Pakistan rivalry, marked by the war, the rebellions and the ongoing military presence, making it one of the most volatile regions in the world.

The recent revival of the ideology of two nations and its notes in India has perceived the recent revival of the ideology of two nations and its notes as signaling a significant shift in the Pakistani approach. His statements are widely interpreted as an effort to projection the strength and gathering of public support in the middle of Pakistani political divisions and economic difficulties that have weakened the once unwavering loyalty to the military facility.
However, analysts consider Asima Munir more than a political strategist; His hard attitude towards India is formed by his leadership of the highest military intelligence agencies of Pakistan and his belief that the conflict with India is essentially a religious nature.

The rise of Asimi Munir in Pakistan
General Asim Munir’s current involvement in Kashmir’s crisis is not his first experience with regional tension. In 2019, as the head of Pakistani inter-service intelligence (ISI), he played a key role during suicide bombing in Kashmir, which led to Indian air strikes and short military escalation.
The possession of Asim Munir ended a few months later when Prime Minister Imran Khan removed him.
Munir’s relationship with Imran Khan remained tense, while the former Pakistani Prime Minister opposed his promotion to the army chief.

After Khan was expelled in April 2022, Asim Munir took command seven months later. Imran Khan, still popular among the public, was imprisoned for two years.
Since the appointment of Asim Munir, the army has taken a stronger attitude in managing relations with India with India and consolidate control by appoining the head of espionage as an advisor to the national security-lines of traditionally organized generals or retirement civilians.
Diplomatic links between India and Pakistan remain frozen, with aggressive public rhetoric replacing silent diplomacy, increasing the risk of incorrect calculation at the ongoing regional voltage.
