Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff, General Asim Munir, has reiterated the two-nation theory, asserting that India and Pakistan are fundamentally different in all aspects of life. Addressing the Overseas Pakistani Convention in Islamabad on Wednesday, Gen Munir emphasized the importance of preserving the ideological foundations of Pakistan for future generations.”
Our forefathers believed we were different from Hindus in every way — our religion, customs, traditions, way of thinking, and ambitions,” Munir said. “That belief laid the foundation for the two-nation theory. We are two distinct nations.”
He urged Pakistanis, especially those living abroad, to pass on the story of Pakistan’s creation to their children to maintain a strong national identity. “Don’t forget the story of Pakistan and ensure the next generations — the third, fourth, and fifth — know what Pakistan means to them,” he said.
The Army chief also paid tribute to the sacrifices made during the country’s creation, saying, “Our forefathers gave everything, and we have also sacrificed immensely for this nation. We know how to defend it.”
Speaking on national security, Gen Munir issued a stern warning to terrorist groups operating in Balochistan. He reaffirmed the military’s resolve to eliminate terrorism, stating, “We will beat the hell out of these terrorists very soon. Do Pakistan’s enemies believe 1,500 militants from groups like BLA, BLF, and BRA can take Balochistan from us?”
“Even ten generations of terrorists cannot harm Balochistan or Pakistan,” he declared, sending a clear message of zero tolerance for separatist violence.
Gen Munir also praised overseas Pakistanis for their unwavering commitment to the homeland and called on them to remain engaged in national development and unity.
