Berlin, Dec 23 (NationPress) Shafi Burfat, the Chairman of the Jeay Sindh Muttahida Mahaz (JSMM), sharply criticized Pakistan’s so-called Field Marshal and Chief of Defence Forces Asim Munir, asserting that he embodies not military prowess but the profound institutional decay of a nation overtaken by its own security apparatus.

The Sindhi leader emphasized that Munir’s rise to the highest ceremonial position—Chief of Defence Forces—despite lacking participation in or victories in any significant international or domestic conflicts, reflects an unchecked militarized authority rather than professional qualifications.

“Titles acquired through coercion instead of competence often expose underlying psychological insecurities. Munir’s preoccupation with grand titles and religious symbols indicates not assurance, but a fragile ego that seeks validation through power. History demonstrates that such individuals rarely contribute to nation-building; they are often the markers of institutional deterioration,” Burfat expressed on X.

Referring to Munir’s assertion that Hindus and Muslims represent two distinct nations due to differing religious practices, the JSMM Chairman contended that this claim reveals a fundamental misapprehension of political science.

“Nations are not formed on theological grounds but through shared histories, territories, collective memories, economic interests, and political fates. When such statements are made, discerning observers worldwide recognize a perilous intellectual void at the core of Pakistan’s military leadership,” he added.

Highlighting Munir’s remark that during Pakistan’s May crisis, the country “clearly felt Allah’s assistance,” Burfat pointed out that, in truth, Pakistan relied significantly on Chinese military technology, intelligence aid, drone capabilities, and American financial support.

“Reinterpreting geopolitical support as divine intervention is not faith; it is a deliberate misrepresentation. In an age of global transparency, such narratives undermine public intelligence,” he asserted.

Burfat termed Munir’s claim that “the army and the people are united” as perhaps his most “audacious falsehood.”

“Sindhis perceive the Punjabi-dominated military establishment as an occupying force. Balochistan remains in open resistance. Pashtun grievances regarding military operations are well documented. Even inside Punjab, protestors have attacked corps commanders’ residences, an unprecedented indicator of civil-military discord. Speaking of unity under such circumstances is not optimism; it is denial,” he remarked.

The Sindhi leader urged the global community to assess Pakistan with “seriousness and honesty.” He noted that beyond “terrorism, destabilization, and functioning as a hired intermediary for global powers,” Pakistan has little else to contribute to the region or the international system. He described Pakistan’s role as a “subcontractor of violence” instead of a responsible state.

“Asim Munir’s remarks are not strategic insights; they are symptoms of a troubled mindset. His rhetoric masks intellectual barrenness with religious slogans and militaristic bravado. Such discourse neither fosters state-building nor changes historical paths,” the Sindhi leader emphasized.
