Pakistan's Army Chief Rejects Jinnah's 'Two-Nation Theory' Once Again, Sparks Controversy

International News: Pakistan Army Chief General Aseem Munir has once again raised controversy by making anti -India statements. Addressing the passing out parade of cadets at the Pakistan Military Academy (PM A) in Kakul, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Saturday, Munir said that Hindu and Muslim are different from each other in every aspect of life, so they are two different nations.
General Munir said, "Our ancestors believed that Hindus and Muslims are completely different in terms of their religion, culture, traditions, thinking and ambitions. This idea was the basis of the creation of Pakistan."

Have given such statements before

About a week ago, General Aseem Munir appealed to the Pakistanis living abroad to tell their children the real story of Pakistan. Even during that time, he described Hindus and Muslims as different in every sphere of life.

Politics behind the statement?

Experts believe that such statements of Munir are given to divert attention from the increasing internal instability and anti -government voices in the country. This statement is also being deliberately seen as a provocative provocation amidst the recent tension with India.

Historical reference to two nation theory

General Munir spoke of Jinnah's "two nation theory". This principle was the basis of the creation of Pakistan in 1947. Jinnah argued that both Hindu and Muslim religion, culture, customs, and lifestyle are different, hence they should be divided into different nations. Munir has tried to convey this message by bringing this theory again that Pakistan's foundation is on this idea and Pakistan will always be a separate nation.

The role and statement of General Aseem Munir

General Aseem Munir is the army chief of Pakistan, and his position is important in Pakistan's political and military direction. The army has great influence in Pakistan, and Munir's statement can be seen as an attempt to further strengthen his role. In Pakistan, the army is considered a "political patron", and has a lot of rights in government matters. In such a situation, Munir's statement may indicate that he and his army are trying to suppress the voices raised against the government, so that the people of Pakistan do not divert attention.

Internal political crisis

Pakistan is currently going through a serious internal crisis:

• Economic crisis: Pakistan's economy is facing a huge crisis. Issues such as inflation, unemployment, and foreign debt are affecting the people of Pakistan.
• Political instability: Army pressure against Prime Minister Imran Khan in Pakistan is increasing, and the pressure of opposition parties is also strong. Imran Khan's party "PAKISTAN TEHREK-E-Insaf) has faced rebellion against Pakistan's ruling coalition government and army.
• Anti-military movement: There has been a lot of opposition in Pakistan against military dictatorship recently. People are raising their voice against the political influence of the army. In such a situation, this statement of Munir can be tried to restore the army's dominance.

 Tension with India

Munir's statement came at a time when the relations between India and Pakistan are already under stress. Tension between the two countries has increased further due to Pakistan's infiltration and clashes on the border in Jammu and Kashmir. Recently, tension between the two countries has increased due to incidents of infiltration from Pakistan in Jammu and Kashmir and clashes on the border. Meanwhile, Munir's statement can further promote rhetoric against India. He says that "we are two nations" not only affects the internal politics of Pakistan, but it can also be a challenge for India.

Appeal to Pakistanis living abroad

General Munir had recently asked Pakistanis living abroad to tell their children the "correct story" of Pakistan. His message was given in the context of the political crisis in Pakistan and the increasing dissatisfaction of Pakistanis abroad. He said that it is necessary to increase the loyalty and love of children towards Pakistan, so that they work in the interest of Pakistan in the future.

Strategy of increasing military impact

 Public statements of military heads are always strict and strategic, as they are not only a symbol of military strength, but also affect the national policy of the country. Munir's statement can also be seen in the same context that the army is trying to show its tough and controlled stance.
