Pakistan Army top brass meet in Rawalpindi to rant against India, disillusioned Asim Munir claims 'success'

A top Army conference held in Pakistan's Rawalpindi became another venue for the country's all-powerful Army to launch another tirade against India, wherein it baselessly accused India of "carrying out numerous terrorist activities inside Pakistan" after Operation Sindoor.

The 71st Corps Commanders’ Conference (CCC) was attended by Chief of Army Staff Asim Munir himself. Munir cried the same old anti-India tune on Thursday too, accusing India of carrying out nefarious activities through its proxies.

Pakistan accuses militant groups, Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan ('Fitna al-Khawarij') and Baloch militant groups (Fitna al-Hindustan) of being Indian proxies, though the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan is a Pakistani offshoot of the Afghan Taliban and the Balochis are more of freedom fighters. India has repeatedly denied any involvement with these groups.

The Pakistan Army top brass, which has been continuing with their anti-India remarks after the military setback in Operation Sindoor, claimed during the meeting that they achieved "successes against terrorist proxies". "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," the ISPR statement on the conference read.

Despite the tall claims, Pakistani media reports said nine passengers travelling between Balochistan’s Zhob and Loralai districts were abducted and killed by Baloch militants. Pakistan rushed to quickly blame India for the attacks.

The meet also claimed to have achieved "success" against India, but carefully omitted any mention of India's precision attack on its air bases and drone attacks on terror locations. It then went on to brag about the details of Pakistan’s "proactive and successful diplomatic manoeuvre", including recent visits to Iran, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Saudi Arabia and UAE, where Munir accompanied Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.

"[The] forum was also briefed on the historic and unique visit of the COAS to the US, where meetings with top-tier leadership afforded an opportunity to share, first hand, Pakistan’s objective perspective on bilateral, regional and extra-regional developments," the statement from the meeting read.

While Iran and Turkey are two Islamic nations which has always supported Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and UAE are strong allies of India and have stayed out of India's internal matters.
