Pakistan Army Chief Defends Kashmir Struggle

In a recent address, Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir described the ongoing situation in Jammu and Kashmir as a 'legitimate struggle,' asserting that Pakistan would continue to support the Kashmiri people in their quest for self-determination. His statements further signify Pakistan's resolve to back the Kashmir movement, which Munir claims is recognized by international law.

Munir warned of strong retribution if India attempts future aggressions, referencing previous conflicts such as the 2019 Balakot strike. He emphasized Pakistan's position as a 'net regional stabilizer,' acting with restraint and aiming for regional peace despite provocations.

The Army Chief reiterated Pakistan's commitment to eradicating terrorism while promoting national power and development, declaring any enemy misjudging Pakistan's strength would face significant consequences.
