There is always an atmosphere of strategic and diplomatic tension between India and Pakistan. But when a big and experienced face of the Indian security apparatus talks about the policies of Pakistan’s current Army Chief (COAS) General Asim Munir, it is bound to create a stir. Former Director General of Police (DGP) of Jammu and Kashmir, Dr. SP Vaid has recently made a very interesting and strategic comment while agreeing to a statement by eminent foreign affairs and security expert Sushant Sarin. He said that if seen, Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir is, in a way, doing very ‘good work’ for India. Since this statement, a new and interesting debate has erupted in diplomatic and defense circles. Let us understand from the perspective of an independent ground reporter what is the real and hidden truth behind this statement of the former DGP.
Strategic affairs expert Sushant Sarin is known for his frank and accurate analyses. Recently, during a talk show, he expressed his frank opinion on the internal and external situation of Pakistan. Sareen’s argument was that due to the way General Asim Munir is implementing policies inside Pakistan, the political stability, economy and social fabric there is crumbling day by day.
Former DGP Dr. SP Vaid, who had led successful operations against terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir, supported Sushant Sarin’s point by sharing the same video clip. Vaid quipped that Asim Munir is weakening Pakistan from within through his own strategic mistakes, internal repression and wrong economic decisions, which is indirectly proving beneficial for India’s national security and strategic position.
Ever since General Asim Munir reached the top command post of Pakistan Army, Pakistan has been facing many serious crises one after the other. On one hand, there is a direct confrontation between the army with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and the general public, while on the other hand, the attacks of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) are increasing continuously in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Pakistan’s economy is currently going through the worst phase in its history, where inflation is skyrocketing and the country is completely dependent on loans from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Asim Munir’s attempt to run the government from behind the scenes, ignoring democracy, has created huge dissatisfaction in the minds of Pakistanis against their own army. Indian experts believe that the work which could not be done on the battlefield is being done automatically due to the shortsightedness of Pakistan’s own Army Chief.
This statement of former DGP SP Vaid is also considered very important in the context of the current situation in Jammu and Kashmir. There was a time when the Pakistani Army and its intelligence agency ISI used to devote all their energy and resources to spreading terrorism in India. But today the situation is completely reversed. During the era of Asim Munir, Pakistan’s army is stuck in dealing with the Taliban on its own western borders and suppressing the insurgency within its own country.
Due to this, infiltration and terrorist activities from across the border have been curbed to a great extent. After the removal of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir, the roots of peace, development and democracy are getting stronger, while Pakistan is continuously sinking into the quagmire of its own making.
This shared idea of Dr. SP Vaid and Sushant Sarin gives an important message for India’s future foreign and security policy. When your opponent is suicidal with its own decisions, you need to focus only on your development journey and strengthening the border security.
Pakistan’s internal crisis has given India an opportunity to present its views more strongly on international forums. Today, while India is setting the direction of global diplomacy by becoming the fifth largest economy in the world, Pakistan has become isolated in the world due to its internal factionalism and unsuccessful military policies. This frank comment of the former DGP is a living mirror of this bitter reality.
