Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir on Saturday once again reiterated the Two-Nation Theory and said that Muslims and Hindus are two different nations. Munir was addressing the passing out parade of cadets at the Pakistan Military Academy (PMA) in Kakul area of ??Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province. He said that Muslims are different from Hindus in all aspects of life – religion, customs, tradition and thinking. Our ancestors have sacrificed a lot to create Pakistan. We know how to protect it. A few days ago also said that we are different from Hindus
Pakistan Army Chief had earlier also talked about the Two Nation Theory while speaking at a program in Islamabad on April 16. Then he had said that the foundation of Pakistan has been laid on Kalma (the basic mantra of Islam). We are different from Hindus in every matter. Our religion is different, our customs are different. Our culture and thinking are different. This was the foundation of the Two-Nation Theory. General Munir had said that you must tell the story of Pakistan to your children. Our ancestors thought that we are different from Hindus. Our thinking, our ambitions are different. That is why we are two countries, not one country. Our ancestors have sacrificed for this country. We know how to protect it. Kashmir was described as the ‘jugular vein’
Munir had described Kashmir as the ‘jugular vein’ of Pakistan. He said, “Our stand is very clear. Kashmir was, is and will remain our jugular vein. We will never forget this. We will not leave our Kashmiri brothers alone in their heroic struggle.” Linking Kashmir to Gaza, he said, “The hearts of Pakistanis beat with the Muslims of Gaza.” India had said how can a foreign thing get stuck in the throat. India retorted to Munir’s statement and said that PoK is an integral part of India. Pakistan has illegally occupied it. Pakistan will have to vacate PoK at any cost. On the statement calling Kashmir the jugular vein of Pakistan, India’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal had said that how can a foreign thing get stuck in the throat. Kashmir is an integral part of India. Along with this, on the extradition of Mumbai attack accused Tahawwur Rana, he said that this is a warning for Pakistan that it should also bring other accused of this attack to justice, whom it is protecting right now.
