Pak Army Chief Asim Munir Issues Fresh Threat to India, Blames Delhi for Balochistan Unrest

• Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir began 2026 with a fresh threat to India, vowing a "firm and decisive response" to any territorial violation.
• Munir made the remarks at GHQ Rawalpindi, alleging "India-backed groups" spread violence in Balochistan without providing evidence.
• He also vowed action against terrorism, ironically branding the Baloch struggle for freedom as such, despite Pakistan's own terrorism issues.
• This follows his previous warning of a "swift and intense" response to aggression in his first speech as CDF.
• Critics view Munir's rhetoric as "hollow saber-rattling" aimed at domestic distraction from Pakistan's internal instability and economic crisis.

Why It Matters: Munir's threats against India are seen as a domestic distraction from Pakistan's internal crises.
