Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir delivered a pointed message to Afghanistan\u2019s interim leadership, urging the Taliban regime to clamp down on militant proxies that are reportedly using Afghan territory to launch attacks into Pakistan. Speaking at a ceremony at the Pakistan Military Academy in Kakul, the army chief framed his remarks as a warning to hostile actors who, he said, exploit regional instability to pursue violent agendas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Addressing cadets and senior officers, Field Marshal Munir said Pakistan has observed a worrying pattern in which extremist groups \u2014 described as \u201cproxies\u201d sheltered inside Afghanistan \u2014 are being used to target Pakistani citizens and security forces. \u201cThese proxies use Afghan soil to carry out ghastly attacks inside Pakistan,\u201d he said, stressing that the Taliban leadership must act to stop such permissive sanctuaries. He appealed directly to Afghanistan\u2019s interim rulers to take responsibility for preventing their territory from being used as a launchpad for violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The army chief\u2019s remarks came alongside broader regional warnings. He framed the threat within a larger strategic narrative, accusing external adversaries of manipulating local militants as \u201chired guns\u201d to foment instability. He used a phrase that captured the twin dangers he sees: \u201cFitna al-Hind\u201d and \u201cFitna al-Khawarij\u201d \u2014 terms that, in his characterization, denote foreign-instigated communal discord and violent extremist currents exploited to destabilize the region. According to Munir, such tactics expose the \u201ccowardly face\u201d of those who sponsor or manipulate proxy actors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Munir urged the Afghan populace and leadership to choose mutual security over perpetual violence. \u201cWe call on the people of Afghanistan to opt for mutual security instead of endless conflict,\u201d he said, arguing that regional stability benefits the entire neighborhood and that continued violence will only breed suffering for ordinary civilians on both sides of the border. This appeal echoed repeated public statements from Pakistani officials asking neighboring actors to refrain from allowing their soil to be used against Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The army chief also used the platform to issue a stern warning to Indian military leadership, reflecting longstanding tensions between the two countries. While the address highlighted multiple security fronts, its central thrust remained focused on cross-border militancy emanating from Afghan territory. Munir\u2019s speech at the prestigious military academy underscored that concerns over proxy groups and foreign meddling are integral to Pakistan\u2019s current security calculus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
