Frustrated Pakistanis say ‘listen to us’ as Pakistan Army chief Asim Munir delivers controversial speech
Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff, General Asim Munir spoke at the Overseas Pakistanis Convention that was held in Islamabad and his controversial speech has gone viral on social media. He has spoken on the two-nation theory, Kashmir, Hindus and Pakistanis, among other things. However, another video that has gone viral on the internet from the conference shows frustrated Pakistani nationals screaming that they are bored with Munir’s long speech.
The man can be heard saying in the video, “Why are you not listening to us? You have called us but you are not listening to us. Our time is important. You are the host, but you have called us so listen to us? You are telling the things that we have been hearing since our childhood. What is the point, tell us something else. We don’t want this.”
The Overseas Pakistanis Convention was held from April 13 to April 16.

Reaffirmed the two-nation theory, he stressed that the cultural, religious, and ideological differences between Hindus and Muslims were the foundation for Pakistan’s creation. “Our religion is different, our customs are different, our traditions are different, our thoughts are different, our ambitions are different, that’s where the foundation of the two-nation theory was laid,” said Munir. “We are two nations, we are not one nation,” he emphasised.
Munir also addressed internal security issues, particularly in Balochistan, where he vowed to eliminate terrorist threats from groups such as the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF), and Baloch Republican Army (BRA). Labelling it the “destiny o Pakistan” he said that “even ten generations of terrorists cannot harm Balochistan and Pakistan”.
