Professor exposes Asim Munir on closure of Iran border


These days a very interesting and shocking development is rapidly emerging in the geopolitics of South Asia. A major debate has erupted at the international level regarding the ever-increasing tension in the border areas between Pakistan and its neighboring Islamic country Iran and the policies of border sealing. Meanwhile, a well-known Indian-American professor has exposed the policies of Pakistan’s current military dictator and army chief General Asim Munir. The professor clearly says that there is no anti-terrorism policy hidden behind Pakistan closing its borders with Iran and erecting security walls there, but a deep geopolitical and internal compulsion. After this revelation in Washington and Western diplomatic circles, big question marks have again been raised on the functioning of the Pakistani Army and its dual exercises, due to which the problems of the rulers of Islamabad have increased considerably.

The real and hidden truth behind sealing of Iran-Pakistan border

For the last few months, tension on the common border between Iran and Pakistan has reached its peak. There have been many standoffs between the two countries regarding trade, migration and security issues. It is being argued by the Government of Pakistan and its military machinery that it has become necessary to control the border due to illegal smuggling and security reasons in the border areas. But the Indian-American professor has debunked this false narrative and proved to the world that the real reason is something else. Frightened by the continuous internal unrest within Pakistan, the smoldering rebellion in remote areas of Balochistan and the anger of its own people, the Pakistani Army is now closing these borders to protect itself. The Pakistani Army under the leadership of General Asim Munir is adopting such tactics to hide its failures and divert the attention of the people of the country by using the ongoing tension with the neighboring countries as an excuse.

General Asim Munir’s repressive strategies and the simmering crisis of Balochistan

During the rule of Pakistani Army Chief General Asim Munir, human rights are being flouted within the country. The anger of the local population is at its peak due to the atrocities and repressive operations being carried out by the Pakistani Army in provinces like Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Baloch insurgents continue to wage a front against the Pakistani military, and their cultural and familial ties to Iran’s Sistan-Baluchistan province across the border make the conflict even broader. The Pakistani military leadership is always afraid that the Baloch communities living on both sides of the border might unite and launch a major armed movement against them. Due to this fear, General Munir has adopted this deliberate strategy of creating barriers and closing the border with Iran, so that the voices of the freedom struggle going on within Balochistan can be prevented from reaching the outside world.

Impact of this border dispute and Indian-American professor’s revelations on global diplomacy

This cunningness of General Asim Munir being exposed to the world by an Indian-American strategist has created a big stir in the think-tanks of America and Western countries. Western countries have always seen Pakistan as an ally in the fight against terrorism, but now it has become completely clear at the academic and diplomatic levels that the Pakistani Army is only putting regional stability at stake to safeguard its personal and institutional interests. This decision to close the border with a regional power like Iran is not only causing huge damage to Pakistan’s faltering economy, but the trade corridors between Central Asia and West Asia are also being badly affected. This short-sightedness of General Munir has once again proved that Pakistani rulers do not shy away from pushing the entire country into the abyss to save their power.

Pakistan getting defeated on diplomatic front and its future crisis

This entire incident is a clear proof that Pakistan is now completely surrounded on both internal and external fronts. On one hand, its economy is on ventilators and the people within the country are suffering from inflation and hunger, while on the other hand, General Asim Munir is taking cover under false security claims to maintain his dictatorial tendencies. This expose by an Indian-American professor has also pulled off the mask of the Pakistani Army behind which they tried to hide their failure. If Pakistan does not improve its repressive and narrow policies in the coming days, then this smoldering dissatisfaction of Balochistan and other border provinces can become the biggest reason for the disintegration of the country. The international community has also now understood these tactics of Pakistan very well, and the day is not far when these tactics of General Munir will be held to account in strong words in front of the whole world.
