Asim munir News

Amid the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has made a sensational claim that foreign mercenaries from countries including Pakistan and China are fighting alongside Russian forces. This statement has stirred reactions from Islamabad to Washington.

Asim Munir is scheduled to pay another visit to the United States in two months. Islamabad eyes closer military and trade ties with Washington.

In today's DNA, we analysed the new conspiracy being hatched in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) by the Pakistani army and the intelligence agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).   

India is becoming less excited about making a quick trade deal with the US. The main problems are disagreements over farm products and taxes on steel and cars. India doesn’t want to lower these taxes easily. Also, India is worried because Pakistan’s army chief, Asim Munir, recently met US leaders, which makes security concerns bigger. At the same time, India is carefully changing how it deals with China, trying to keep good trade while staying safe. Because of these economic and security issues, India is now taking its time and being careful before agreeing to any big trade deal with the US.

While military interference in Pakistan’s civilian affairs is hardly new, Munir’s move raises deeper questions. Analysts believe the army wants tighter control over the political narrative, especially after recent friction with Bilawal Bhutto, who openly criticised Munir’s war-mongering statements following India’s Operation Sindoor.

According to Pakistani media reports, US President Donald Trump is expected to land in Pakistan after attending a QUAD summit in India.

Speaking about Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir's meeting with US President Donald Trump, Indian Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh said "must be an embarrassment to any country" that the Military Chief is invited while the PM Shairf is "nowhere to be seen."

Did Trump just try to set up an unexpected India-Pakistan meeting at the White House so as to affirm his claim that he brokered peace between the two warring nations?

Slogans like ‘Shame on You’ and ‘Islamabad Ka Qatil’ were raised against him while banners depicting him as ‘Mass Murderer’ were waved on the streets.

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Ravi Shankar Prasad said that Pakistan's problem lies in its lack of democracy, as unelected and unaccountable military leaders have consistently seized power.

While Pakistan reeled from India’s blow, a second battlefield opened – inside its borders. The BLA launched a lightning assault and captured Sohrab city.

In yet another embarrassment for Pakistan, Asim Munir was trolled for gifting a fake photo of Operation Bunyan al-Marsus to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif as a gift.
