In April, Pakistan's Army Chief Asim Munir referred to Kashmir as Pakistan's 'jugular vein.' The incident was followed by the Pahalgam attack. After the Sindoor Operation, Asim Munir once again expressed hostile intentions during a passing-out parade of the Pakistan Navy by reigniting the Kashmir issue. He warned that any escalation by the adversary may lead to 'catastrophic consequences,' holding the enemy accountable.
Munir labeled the Pakistani terrorism in Kashmir as a 'struggle' of Kashmiris, urging to remember the 'sacrifices' of Kashmiri brothers who are, according to him, fighting against India.
Post the Pahalgam attack retaliation, despite heavy losses in Sindoor Operation, Asim Munir is again trying to reignite Pakistani sentiments over Kashmir and war.
He attributed the surge of terrorism and unrest in Pakistan to India, claiming Pakistan was nearly eradicating terrorism on its soil before alleged provocations by India occurred.
While discussing the Kashmir issue, Munir emphasized remembering the sacrifices of Kashmiris who he claims are fighting against 'illegal occupation.'
He neglected to mention the terrorists' actions in Kashmir, projecting Pakistan as a benign entity. He stated Pakistan staunchly supports a fair solution to the Kashmir issue in line with UN resolutions and the aspirations of the Kashmiri people.
Munir linked regional peace to the Kashmir issue's 'fair and peaceful resolution,' implicitly assigning responsibility for 'unrest' and 'violence' in the region.
Referring to the India-Pakistan clash during the Sindoor Operation, Munir lauded Pakistan for showcasing restraint and maturity.

Ignoring the Pahalgam attack details, Munir highlighted Pakistan's defense response against India's allegedly provocative actions, claiming it safeguarded national honor and averted regional tension.
Munir praised Pakistan's composure and maturity, showcasing it as a commitment to regional peace and stability, portraying Pakistan as a peace harbinger.
Without directly naming India, Munir warned that any adversary thinking Pakistan wouldn't retaliate due to internal issues would be mistaken, promising a robust response.
Munir issued a stern warning of responsibility for escalated tensions leading to catastrophic consequences lying with the adversary. The Army Chief vowed unwavering defense of Pakistan's sovereignty.
While downplaying India’s overwhelming impact during Sindoor Operation, Munir boasted about Pakistan's resilience, claiming India would never forget the Mark of Truth's success.
Labelled as 'Mullah General,’ Asim Munir again recited religious lines, stating that smaller powers have often defeated significant forces.
During India's response with Operation Sindoor, nine terrorist strongholds in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir were obliterated. Subsequently, India's air force destroyed 11 Pakistani airbases, marking the loss of over 160 individuals.
