As tensions upward push after the Pahalgam terror assault in Jammu and Kashmir that left 27 civilians useless, rumours circulated about Pakistan Army Chief General Syed Asim Munir going lacking, allegedly. A variety of Indian media shops, quoting native assets, reported that Munir had long past lacking or used to be in hiding in a Rawalpindi bunker — stories that would no longer be showed independently.
Pakistan PMO Posts Group Photo
Against mounting hypothesis, the Pakistan Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) tweeted a gaggle picture from Abbottabad that includes Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif sitting along General Munir. The tweet used to be captioned:
“Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif, Chief of Army Staff General Syed Asim Munir (NIM), and officers of PMA Kakul in a group photo with the graduating officers of 151st Long Course at PMA Kakul, Abbottabad. April 26, 2025.”

The step used to be interpreted as an effort to turn out that Munir continues to be lively and on accountability.
India Suspends Indus Waters Treaty
Following intelligence stories reportedly putting Pakistan-based teams at the back of the Pahalgam assault, India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty — a historical first within the demanding dating of the 2 nuclear powers. Islamabad criticised the motion as “illegal.”
Controversial Remarks by way of Munir
General 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.” Talking once more on the Abbottabad tournament, Munir repeated the ‘two-nation idea’ that Hindus and Muslims “are different in all respects.”
