Face Us If You’re a Man” — TTP’s Open Threat to Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir | Sushant Sareen
Pakistan’s Army Chief’s fiery warning to India sparks debate as Sushant Sareen calls him a “dangerous clown” amid rising tensions with Afghanistan.
In a heated discussion with journalist Ms. Barkha Dutt, strategic affairs analyst Sushant Sareen analyzed the recent provocative remarks by Pakistan’s Army Chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir. The interview followed Munir’s fiery speech at the Pakistan Military Academy, where he warned India of a “decisive blow” and vowed to respond “beyond proportion” even to minor provocations.
Sareen called Munir a “dangerous clown,” criticizing his reckless approach at a time when Pakistan is already facing border tensions with Afghanistan and threats from the TTP. He noted that no rational general would open a second front when one border is unstable. According to Sareen, Munir’s speech reflects Pakistan’s long-standing policy of aggressive posturing to distract from internal challenges.
He warned that Munir’s statements signaled a potential shift in Pakistan’s military strategy, hinting at targeting Indian economic and population centers—a dangerous escalation compared to past “gentlemanly wars.” Sareen urged India to strengthen its air defense systems and remain prepared, emphasizing that any attack on major Indian cities like Mumbai or Hyderabad would invite a severe response.
Ms. Barkha Dutt concluded the discussion by pointing out the growing tension and rhetorical escalation between India and Pakistan, observing that both countries must act with restraint and avoid being drawn into provocative exchanges.
