Islamabad:<\/strong> Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has said that Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir played a pivotal role in facilitating peace efforts between the United States and Iran, claiming that both countries trusted him because of his honesty and straightforward approach. Naqvi stated that the military chief spoke candidly to all parties involved and even conveyed tough messages that, according to him, \u201cno one could have imagined.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The remarks were made during a special meeting of the Paigham-e-Aman Committee<\/strong>, where the interior minister highlighted the importance of national unity, religious harmony, and collective efforts to maintain peace and stability across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scholars Have a Key Role in Promoting Peace<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Addressing the gathering, Mohsin Naqvi praised religious scholars for their contribution to maintaining law and order and promoting social cohesion. He said that forums such as the Paigham-e-Aman Committee play a vital role in spreading a message of unity and tolerance throughout Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe message emerging from this platform should strengthen national solidarity,\u201d Naqvi said. \u201cReligious scholars have a significant responsibility in keeping the nation united and guiding society toward peace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He further emphasized that the committee should remain active at the district level so that its influence reaches local communities and contributes to resolving social and sectarian tensions before they escalate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collective Effort Needed Against Terrorism<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The interior minister stressed that Pakistan\u2019s fight against terrorism requires the support and cooperation of all segments of society, particularly religious leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe must stand together to eliminate terrorism,\u201d he said. \u201cThe support of ulema and religious scholars is crucial in this struggle because they can help promote moderation and discourage extremist narratives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Naqvi, national unity remains one of the strongest tools available to counter security threats and ensure long-term stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Call for Harmony During Muharram<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Referring to the upcoming observance of Muharram, the minister urged citizens to avoid sectarian divisions and work collectively to maintain peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEnsuring law and order during Muharram is a shared responsibility,\u201d he said. \u201cThe safest path is to avoid sectarianism and promote mutual respect among all communities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He noted that cooperation between religious leaders, local administrations, and security agencies would be essential to ensuring peaceful religious gatherings and processions throughout the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pakistan\u2019s Role in US-Iran Peace Efforts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Speaking about efforts related to a possible understanding between the United States and Iran, Mohsin Naqvi claimed that Pakistan played an active role in encouraging dialogue and reducing tensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He stated that Field Marshal Asim Munir\u2019s reputation for honesty and direct communication enabled him to gain the confidence of all sides involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cField Marshal Syed Asim Munir speaks the truth,\u201d Naqvi said. \u201cThat is why both the United States and Iran placed complete trust in him during the negotiations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the interior minister, the military chief was viewed as a reliable figure by all stakeholders, making him uniquely positioned to contribute to peace initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvery Side Trusted Him\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Naqvi further asserted that the field marshal was the only individual trusted by every party involved in the discussions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvery side had confidence in him,\u201d he said. \u201cBecause of that trust, Pakistan was able to make meaningful efforts for peace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The minister described Pakistan\u2019s involvement as part of a broader commitment to regional stability and diplomacy, emphasizing that peaceful solutions are always preferable to confrontation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prime Minister and Field Marshal Played Important Roles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Mohsin Naqvi credited both Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir for their efforts in promoting dialogue and supporting peace initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said the prime minister provided political leadership while the field marshal played a central role in managing and advancing the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPrime Minister Shehbaz Sharif led from the political front, while Field Marshal Asim Munir entered the field as the captain,\u201d Naqvi remarked. \u201cTogether they played an important role in efforts aimed at achieving peace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Captain Led the Process\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Using a sporting analogy, the interior minister said that the field marshal acted as the \u201ccaptain\u201d of the peace effort and deserved recognition for guiding the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe led this effort as a captain leads a team,\u201d Naqvi stated. \u201cCredit should go to the captain for steering the process forward, while the prime minister finalized matters at the leadership level.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The comments underscored Naqvi\u2019s view that both civilian and military leadership worked in coordination to support diplomatic engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tough Messages Delivered to Both Sides<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the most notable parts of the minister\u2019s speech was his claim that Field Marshal Asim Munir did not hesitate to convey difficult messages during discussions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Naqvi, the military chief openly pointed out mistakes whenever necessary, regardless of which side was involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe said things to both parties that many people would never imagine saying,\u201d the minister claimed. \u201cWhenever someone was wrong, he told them directly that they were wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Naqvi added that this straightforward approach strengthened confidence in the field marshal\u2019s intentions because all parties knew he was being honest and impartial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emphasis on Credibility and Trust<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Concluding his remarks, the interior minister argued that credibility and sincerity were the key reasons behind the trust placed in Pakistan\u2019s leadership during sensitive diplomatic efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He maintained that honesty, direct communication, and a commitment to peace helped create an environment in which dialogue could move forward, while also highlighting Pakistan\u2019s desire to contribute positively to regional and international stability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
