As tensions rise after the Pahalgam terror assault in Jammu and Kashmir that left 27 civilians useless, rumours circulated about Pakistan Military Chief Common Syed Asim Munir going lacking, allegedly. A lot of Indian media shops, quoting native sources, reported that Munir had gone lacking or was in hiding in a Rawalpindi bunker — stories that would not be confirmed independently.
Pakistan PMO Posts Group Photograph
Towards mounting hypothesis, the Pakistan Prime Minister’s Workplace (PMO) tweeted a gaggle photograph from Abbottabad that includes Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif sitting alongside Common Munir. The tweet was captioned:
“Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif, Chief of Military Workers Common Syed Asim Munir (NIM), and officers of PMA Kakul in a gaggle photograph with the graduating officers of 151st Lengthy Course at PMA Kakul, Abbottabad. April 26, 2025.”

The step was interpreted as an effort to show that Munir continues to be energetic and on responsibility.
India Suspends Indus Waters Treaty
Following intelligence stories reportedly putting Pakistan-based teams behind the Pahalgam assault, India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty — a historic first within the tense relationship of the 2 nuclear powers. Islamabad criticised the motion as “unlawful.”
Controversial Remarks by Munir
Common Munir has additionally been within the limelight for his inciting remarks. A couple of days in the past, he referred to Kashmir as Pakistan’s “jugular vein.” Speaking once more on the Abbottabad occasion, Munir repeated the ‘two-nation idea’ that Hindus and Muslims “are totally different in all respects.”
