With all the debate going on around the Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir going to the United States and threatening India, India’s Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi and Defence Expert Captain Anil Gaur have also responded to the developing geopolitical situations.
After Asim Munir’s warning that Islamabad would plunge the region into nuclear war and could take "almost half of the world" down if faced with an existential threat in a future conflict with New Delhi.
Captain Gaur said, "I am unable to understand, and I don't think the whole world can, how Donald Trump is leading America in this direction. Asim Munir has positioned himself as the Field Marshal of Pakistan. When America was hunting for Osama Bin Laden, Pakistanis claimed he wasn't with them, but he was found there all along," as cited by news agency ANI.
