Is Pakistan Army Chief Gen Asim Munir Missing After Pahalgam Attack?
Speculation Swirls Around Pakistan Army Chief After Deadly Terror Attack
Just two days after a horrific terror attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, rumors are spreading that Pakistan Army Chief Gen Asim Munir and his family have vanished from the country. Reports claim that Gen Munir, along with the DG ISPR Lt Gen Asim Malik and CJCSC Gen Sahir Shamshad Mirza, have flown to the United Kingdom and New Jersey in the United States using private jets.
These rumors have emerged following India’s strong response to the attack, which claimed at least 26 lives. India has imposed strict rules on Pakistanis entering the country after the incident.
Conflicting Claims and Social Media Buzz
Initially, a group called The Resistance Front (TRF), an offshoot of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), claimed responsibility for the attack. However, they later retracted their statement, saying their social media accounts were hacked. This has only added to the confusion surrounding the incident.
Gen Munir’s sudden disappearance from the public eye has fueled speculation on social media. Many are questioning his whereabouts and wondering if he has gone into hiding. Posts on Twitter express a range of theories, with some even linking the incident to the ongoing political turmoil in Pakistan and calling for the release of former Prime Minister Imran Khan.
Meanwhile, Pakistan Defense Minister Khawaja Asif made a surprising statement during an interview with Sky News, claiming that Lashkar-e-Taiba no longer exists in Pakistan and is “extinct.” He went on to say that if the parent organization doesn’t exist, then its offshoot, The Resistance Front, couldn’t have been responsible for the attack.
What’s Next?
The truth behind Gen Munir’s whereabouts and the ongoing investigation into the Pahalgam attack remain unclear. As tensions rise between India and Pakistan, the world watches closely for any developments in this complex and sensitive situation.
