KARACHI: India’s unprovoked aggression against Pakistan has been criticized by Field Marshal Asim Munir, Chief of Army Staff, who said that assuming that the nation would exercise restraint in the face of further invasions of its sovereignty “is a dangerous misreading of its strategic fundamentals.”
Speaking at the graduation ceremony of the Pakistan Naval Academy, he stated, “As we steadily, but surely, build our comprehensive national power, any enemy acting on the perceived vulnerability of Pakistan under the illusion of strategic impunity or miscalculation, would get a swift and a very befitting response.”
The fiercest fighting between India and Pakistan in decades broke out last month after an incident in Indian-occupied Jammu on April 22 that claimed 26 lives.
