Why Pakistan army chief’s anti-Hindu rant deserves a stern response from Indian govt | Point Blank

Pakistan Army chief General Asim Munir, during an address at the Overseas Pakistani Convention in Islamabad on April 16, raked up the two-nation theory and emphasised that India and Pakistan are two different nations. Munir urged Pakistani citizens to narrate how the nation was born to their children. "…Our forefathers thought we were different from Hindus in every possible aspect of life," Munir said. “Our religion is different, our customs are different, our traditions are different, our thoughts are different, our ambitions are different. That’s where the foundation of the two-nation theory was laid. We are two nations, we are not one nation.” The army chief added that previous generations of Pakistan have incessantly struggled to create the country. In this episode of Hindustan Times' Point Blank, Executive Editor Shishir Gupta decodes the background behind Munir's anti-Hindu remarks.
