External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has linked Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir’s recent speech to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, where 26 tourists were killed. Munir's speech emphasized the two-nation theory, highlighting differences between Muslims and Hindus. Former J&K DGP SP Vaid and Lt Gen DP Pandey have accused Munir of orchestrating the attack, citing its scale and timing. The Resistance Front, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility, targeting non-Muslim tourists. India responded by suspending the Indus Waters Treaty and expelling Pakistani diplomats. Munir warned of a "swift, resolute" response to any Indian military action, while Prime Minister Modi vowed to pursue terrorists and their backers globally. (PC: News 18, The Hindu & Wikipedia)
