BREAKING NEWS
Less than a week after his “we were different from Hindus in every possible aspect of life” rant, a group of Pakistan army sponsored terrorists killed 26 tourists in Pahalgam. While there’s no conclusive evidence to link Munir’s anti-Hindu rant with this cold blooded massacre of innocents, the timing of this attack and the perpetrators subjecting victims to religious profiling before shooting point blank range is certainly not mere coincidence.
Pakistan army chief Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir’s unabashed nuclear threat to India during his address to the Pakistani diaspora that had congregated for dinner at Tampa in Florida, USA on August 9 endorses Georges Clemenceau’s seminal observation that “war is too serious a business to be left to Generals.”
However, by decreeing that “They say war is too serious to be left to the Generals, but politics is also too serious to be left to the politicians,” Pakistan’s newly Field Marshal has made it absolutely clear that he alone will oversee politics in Pakistan and decide when to wage war.
While he was never known for intellectual or professional brilliance, Field Marshal Munir relies heavily on intransigent religious beliefs that he acquired during his initial education at Markazi Madrasah Dar-ul-Tajweed Islamic seminary in Rawalpindi. Resultantly, he invariably quotes Quranic verses to motivate the Pakistan army’s rank and file as well as justify his own self-serving actions.
Invoking religion as a motivational tool has advantages but religious edicts are prone to misinterpretation and could well infuse the false belief amongst army men that certain excesses have divine sanction. The consequences of Munir resurrecting the two-nation theory by highlighting a perceived inherent existential incompatibility Hindu-Muslim in his address during the Convention for Overseas Pakistan on April 16, is a case in point.
Less than a week after his “we were different from Hindus in every possible aspect of life” rant, a group of Pakistan army sponsored terrorists killed 26 tourists in Pahalgam. While there’s no conclusive evidence to link Munir’s anti-Hindu rant with this cold blooded massacre of innocents, the timing of this attack and the perpetrators subjecting victims to religious profiling before shooting point blank range is certainly not mere coincidence.
What followed was New Delhi’s decision to hold the Indus Water Treaty [IWT] in abeyance and enforce trade restrictions, and these measures have hit Islamabad very hard. Though Munir may be putting up a brave face, he knows very well that Pakistan is staring at a major crisis sparked by his ill-considered decision to unnecessarily rake up the two-nation theory.
India launched Operation Sindoor to seek retribution for the Pahalgam massacre by targeting and annihilating nine high value terrorist infrastructural assets killing many top terrorist leaders. That the Pakistan army and air force could neither detect nor destroy even a single Indian missile in-flight was a humongous embarrassment for Rawalpindi and greatly annoyed the terrorist hierarchy in Pakistan.
In order to conceal its patronage of terrorist groups, Rawalpindi avoids public interaction with them. However, after the May 7 strikes, the seething anger within the terrorist camp was so intense that Munir had no other option but to atone for failing to protect terrorist safe havens by sending high ranking army officers to offer funeral prayers for the deceased terrorist commanders and according them military honours.
Some uncouth utterances made by Field Marshal Munir during the Tampa dinner that merit attention as they reveal his palpably abnormal behaviour, are:
Two particularly bizarre statements made by the field marshal not only defy logical comprehension but also raise serious doubts regarding his mental health. These are:
To say that things in Pakistan aren’t quite under Field Marshal Munir’s control isn’t an understatement. While his ego-driven fight to politically emasculate former Prime Minister Imran Khan has pushed the country into an inextricable political morass, Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan [TTP] and armed Baloch groups are wreaking havoc in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan respectively by openly challenging writ of the state.
Hemmed in from all sides, Field Marshal Munir’s belligerent outbursts, use of weird analogies and grandiose visions of divine intervention clearly indicate that he is suffering from a psychological condition commonly referred to as fear-induced aggression that occurs when an individual feels threatened or afraid and perceives a lack of options for escape.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s clarification that Operation Sindoor has only been paused not terminated has further aggravated Field Marshal Munir’s psychological dilemma as he doesn’t know when, where and in what way will the Indian armed forces hit Pakistan.
His elevation to the rank of Field Marshal, a five years extension in service, lunching with US President Donald Trump and an invitation to attend the farewell of United States Central Command Commander [CENTCOM] General Michael Kurilla may sound impressive, but these don’t qualify as professional achievements.
Conversely, his inability to resolve the political impasse in Pakistan, abject failure to rein-in TTP and Baloch armed groups as well as the serious consequences of New Delhi holding IWT in abeyance and imposing trade restrictions have pushed Field Marshal Munir into an irretrievable situation from which he cannot escape. This explains his grossly coarse arguments.
The barking dogs seldom bite adage does provide some solace. But with the Pakistani Field Marshal making it amply clear that “We are a nuclear nation, if we think we are going down, we’ll take half the world down with us,” it would definitely be dangerous to take things for granted especially when he’s suffering from fear-induced aggression that can make him hit Pakistan’s nuclear button anytime!
