is a legitimate struggle.😢💔
Pakistan’s military leadership gathered for the 71st Corps Commanders’ Conference in Rawalpindi, aiming to project unity and resolve. On paper, they did. But look closer and the story feels stuck. Chief of Army Staff General Asim Munir claimed India was “carrying out numerous terrorist activities inside Pakistan”, according to an ISPR statement after the meet.
He didn’t stop there. Munir said India used “nefarious activities through proxies”, singling out Tehreek-e-Talib*n Pakistan (TTP) as “Fitna al-Khawarij” and Baloch fighters as “Fitna al-Hindustan”.
India rejects all these claims. TTP is a Pakistani offshoot of the Afghan Talib*n. Baloch groups have long fought Pakistan’s military over local grievances. But blaming India helps deflect hard questions at home. Blood, blame and silence on Op Sindoor
As usual, the Army promised revenge. The ISPR said, “The forum resolved that the blood of our Shuhada will not go to waste and the safety and security of people of Pakistan remain top-most priority for the Armed Forces of Pakistan.”
Yet even as this statement went public, local media reported that nine passengers were abducted and killed by Baloch militants travelling between Zhob and Loralai. Pakistan’s reaction? Blame India. Evidence? None.
What Munir’s team didn’t mention was Operation Sindoor. On 7 May, India launched precision strikes on terror camps and military posts in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir. This was retaliation for the brutal Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26. After days of tension, both sides agreed to a ceasefire when Pakistan’s DGMO reached out to India’s military.
