After the Indian military leadership warned Islamabad on the first anniversary of Operation Sindoor that “no terrorist haven across the border is beyond India’s reach”, Pakistan defense forces chief Field Marshal Asim Munir on Sunday called last year’s conflict with India a “fight between two ideologies”.Addressing a function at the General Headquarters in Rawalpindi to commemorate the first anniversary of ‘Marka-e-Haq’, the name given by Islamabad to the four-day clash with India, Munir claimed that Pakistan’s tactics during the conflict were “superior” to India’s. He said, “Marka-e-Haq was not just a conventional war fought between two countries or armies, but in fact it was a decisive Marka (battle) between two ideologies in which, thanks to Allah, truth won and falsehood was defeated.” Despite losing several air bases and military aircraft, Pakistan still claims to have dominated India during the conflict. Meanwhile, in another clear sign of the military’s dominance over the civilian leadership, Pakistani federal Energy Minister Ali Pervez Malik, a close aide of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, said, “As an ordinary functionary of the team led by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, I want to assure the public that as petroleum prices are declining in the international market…” His remarks sparked anger on social media.
