Pakistani Analyst Claims Munir's Threat Targets Mumbai, Not Jamnagar
Ayesha Siddiqa, a Pakistani analyst, interprets remarks by Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir as a threat to Mumbai rather than the Jamnagar refinery, suggesting a strategy to destabilize India’s financial center. Munir’s mention of Mukesh Ambani underscores the economic significance of Mumbai, and Siddiqa draws parallels to the 2008 Mumbai attacks. Indian security experts view Munir’s comments as a potential threat to the Jamnagar facility, prompting heightened security measures. India’s Ministry of External Affairs condemned these remarks as nuclear saber-rattling, asserting that India will not yield to threats and will protect its national interests vigorously.
