NEW DELHI :
PAKISTAN Army Chief Asim Munir, currently on a trip to the US, found himself in
the crosshairs of protestors, apparently comprising overseas Pakistani citizens, as they
protested against him and also shouted slogans, calling him a ‘mass murderer’.
The embarrassment for the Pakistan Army
Chief only got amplified as the videos of
protestors calling him names got widely circulated on social media. Many videos
showed people booing and shouting at him
while he arrived at a hotel in Washington.
Slogans like ‘Shame on You’ and
‘Islamabad Ka Qatil’ were raised against him
while banners depicting him as ‘Mass
Murderer’ were waved on the streets. Other
slogans like ‘Asim Munir, you are a coward’
were also heard in the videos.
The wave of
anger and public backlash against Pakistan’s
Chief of Army Staff left the General as well
as the terror-sponsoring nation red-faced
over the fiasco, as his US visit was rather
touted as Pakistan’s dexterous manoeuvring,
in the wake of India’s diplomatic outreach
to the global fraternity. Many protesters
called him a despotic dictator, blaming him
for the murder of democracy, stating that
‘when dictators rise, democracy dies.’
