Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Asim Munir has confronted Indian threats with unwavering approach stating that Pakistan is fully capable of defending its sovereignty.
Speaking at a passing-out parade ceremony, he reaffirmed that the Two-Nation Theory remains the cornerstone of Pakistan’s identity and that there is no uncertainty among Pakistanis regarding its significance.
While addressing the cadets, General Munir remarked, “Muslims and Hindus are fundamentally distinct in every sphere of life — from religion and traditions to customs, ideologies, and aspirations.” He stressed the tremendous sacrifices made by the forefathers of Pakistan in securing a separate homeland and reiterated that the Two-Nation Theory recognizes Muslims and Hindus as two distinct nations.
“Our ancestors made unparalleled sacrifices to achieve the creation of Pakistan. Their relentless struggle ultimately led to the foundation of a new, independent state,” he said. “The Two-Nation Theory continues to be the guiding principle of Pakistan’s existence, and no Pakistani harbors any doubt about its truth.”
General Munir also took aim at Indian media and social media outlets, accusing them of spreading falsehoods and misrepresenting historical facts.
“The Indian media, especially the so-called ‘Modi media,’ is engaged in spreading disinformation and propaganda. However, no number of lies can rewrite history,” he asserted. “Attempts to weaken the Two-Nation Theory will fail. Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah had clearly and emphatically articulated the Two-Nation Theory.”
General Munir’s remarks come at a time of escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, following the Pahalgam attack and the resulting cross border diplomatic and military standoff.
