New Delhi, August 11: In another escalation, Pakistan’s army chief, Field Marshal Asam Munir, has issued threats against India and industrialist Mukesh Ambani, as reported by The Print. His remarks included Quranic references and military language, which Indian sources have described as “dishonest” and “irresponsible” Pakistan, especially when it is a nuclear power.
What did Munir say?
Munir referred to an old social media post by the Pakistan army, which featured a picture of Mukesh Ambani and a quote from the Quran. The verse is about God’s punishment for the enemy army, which Munir hinted would happen in the next war with India.
“I had a tweet with a picture of Mukesh Ambani and Surah Fil, to show what we will do next time,” he said.
Surah Fil depicts Allah sending birds that pelted the army’s elephants with stones, turning them into “chewed chaff”.
Munir said, “We will start from the east of India, where they have kept their most valuable resources, then move towards the west.” He made it clear that in a future war with India, Pakistan would target India’s economic centres. This statement does not just talk about a ground attack, but is a warning of a plan to target India’s economic centres.
Indus Water Treaty
Munir also mentioned the Indus Waters Treaty dispute. In response to India’s temporary suspension of the treaty, Munir claimed that the move could put 25 million people at risk of starvation. He threatened, “We will wait for India to build a dam, and when it does, we will destroy it with 10 missiles.”
According to the report, Munir also made nuclear threats. “We are a nuclear nation. If we think we are going to die, we will take half the world with us,” he said.
He also mentioned the Indus Waters Treaty and described India’s action to temporarily cancel this treaty as a threat of starvation for 2.5 crore people. Munir threatened that if India builds any new dam, Pakistan will destroy it with 10 missiles.
Along with this, Munir also made nuclear threats. He said, “We are a nuclear country. If we think that we are ending, we will end half of the world at once.”
Munir’s statements are not just a military escalation, but a psychological war combining religious extremism and economic tension. With this threat, Pakistan has targeted the symbol of India’s economy, which is worrisome for India’s emerging power.
India has not yet given an official response to this statement, but sources say that it needs to be stopped in a single, but strong manner.
