Pakistan’s army chief, General Asim Munir, has sparked controversy by highlighting the two-nation theory following the recent Pahalgam terror attack. In a strong assertion of the distinct identity of Muslims from Hindus, Munir emphasized the differences across all aspects of life. The army chief underscored Pakistan’s commitment to safeguard its interests and referenced the Indian government’s response to the attack. Additionally, Munir reiterated Pakistan’s unwavering stance on Kashmir, labeling it as the country’s “jugular vein.” The remarks come amid escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, with both nations locked in a long-standing conflict over the region. The renewed emphasis on the two-nation theory is likely to further strain relations between the neighboring countries.
