Pakistan’s Army Chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, warned India that there is no space for war in a nuclearised environment. Speaking at the PMA Kakul passing out parade, he said Pakistan will respond decisively to any aggression, even minor provocations. He added that Pakistan won’t be intimidated by hostile rhetoric or pressure from across the border.
Field Marshal Munir criticised India’s approach to recent tensions, saying it avoids neutral investigations and relies on self-created evidence. He accused India of politicising terrorism to serve its domestic political goals. He also condemned India’s hegemonic ambitions and what he called its “strategic blindness and hubris.”
