Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Asim Munir has slammed India’s “extremist ideology”, saying that they are posing threat to minorities abroad especially in the US, UK and Canada.
“India’s cruelty and brutality in Occupied Jammu and Kashmir is also a continuation of Hindutva ideology and policy,” the army chief said on Friday while addressing a special ceremony of Margalla Dialogue 2024, organised by Islamabad Policy Research Institute (IPRI).
Gen Munir was apparently referring to India’s global “extrajudicial” network of state-sponsored targeted killings. Besides Pakistan, Canada and the US have also accused Indian agents of being linked to one assassination and one attempt in their countries.
Indian government is allegedly involved in the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Canadian citizen and prominent campaigner for a sovereign Sikh state — known as Khalistan in northern India.
Addressing the ceremony today, COAS Munir said that resilience was an important component of the National Action Plan aimed at “ending terrorism and extremism”.
