Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir was recently on a tour of America. During this, while addressing the Pakistani community in Florida, he made a strange comparison on Indo-Pak tension. He had said that India is Mercedes coming on the highway, but Pakistan is a dump truck laden with gravel. Now think that if the truck collides with the car, then who will suffer more.
Although this statement was given by Munir in a limited range, Pakistan Home Minister Mohsin Naqvi confirmed this from the public platform. Naqvi said that Saudi Arabia was trying to reconcile during the struggle with India. When Saudi Dailing came to Pakistan, Asim Munir said that India is Mercedes and Pakistan gravel truck. You can understand who will suffer more in the collision.
Compliment or disrespect?
Naqvi tried to tell this statement as Munir’s strategic thinking and Pakistan’s strength, but it had the opposite effect in Pakistan. Social media users taunted that Munir and Naqvi accepted how bad Pakistan is by calling themselves trucks. Many people of Pakistan are watching it with self -aggrandizement and failure.
Story of India-Pak tension
This statement came at a time when India launched Operation Sindoor after the Pahalgam terror attack in April 2025. In this operation, which lasted from 7 to 10 May, India targeted Pakistan’s terrorist bases. The Pakistan government and the army are repeatedly claiming that they did not suffer much loss during this period, but the statements of Pakistan leaders and military officials often reveal their weakness.
Impact on Pakistan’s image
This statement of Munir and Naqvi is also affecting the international image of Pakistan. On one hand they are claiming victory. On the other hand, by calling themselves “trucks” and India as “luxury cars”, they are assuming that India is technically and financially ahead of them.
