Terrorism Is India’s Practice, Not Pakistan’s, Says Field Marshal Asim Munir

Islamabad — Chief of Defence Forces, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, has said that terrorism is not Pakistan’s trait but India’s, emphasizing that Pakistan confronts its enemies openly and decisively.

Addressing the National Ulema and Mashaikh Conference in Islamabad, Field Marshal Asim Munir said that there is a deep and historic connection between the State of Madinah and the State of Pakistan. He added that among all Muslim countries, Allah has honored Pakistan with the responsibility of being a protector of the Haramain. He termed the recent defence agreement with Saudi Arabia as “historic.”

He further stated that nations that abandon knowledge and the pen fall into chaos and discord. “Honor and strength come not through division, but through hard work and knowledge,” he added.

The Chief of Defence Forces reiterated that terrorism is India’s pattern, not Pakistan’s, and said, “We do not attack from the shadows; we challenge and defeat our enemy openly. With Allah’s help, we have succeeded in the battle of truth.”

He stressed that in an Islamic state, no one other than the state has the authority to declare jihad. He urged religious scholars to promote unity and broaden the nation’s perspective.

“Pakistan will always remain strong and prosperous,” he concluded.
