‘We’ll Start From East’: Pakistan Issues Fresh Threat To India, Asim Munir Outlines New Approach

A dangerous new flashpoint is unfolding in South Asia as Pakistan signals a strategic shift against India. Pakistan Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir, now a key power center in Islamabad, appears to be eyeing India’s eastern flank—leveraging recent political change in Bangladesh. In an interview with The Economist, a senior Pakistani general warned, “We’ll start from the East,” suggesting a possible front via the India-Bangladesh corridor. With Dhaka’s new regime reportedly softening toward Pakistan, old Islamist ties and militant channels may be reactivating. India has placed border forces on alert in Assam and Meghalaya. As Munir’s grip tightens and U.S. ties deepen, India faces the challenge of countering a multi-front hybrid threat rooted in evolving regional alliances and asymmetric tactics.#pakistan #india #asimmunir #easternfront #bangladesh #hybridwarfare #operationsindoor #usties #northeastindia #geopolitics #toi #toibharat
