General Munir’s father Syed Sarwar Munir stayed with his family in Toba Tek Singh district of Pakistan Punjab for some time, then he settled in Dheri Hasanabad area of Rawalpindi. He was a teacher in Rawalpindi and also used to do Imamat in a mosque.

Strengthen yourself in army
General Aseem Munir is one of the few officers of the Pakistan Army who have fulfilled the Quran Sharif, ie they are Hafiz-e-Quran. He gave this evidence when he was posted as a military officer of Pakistan in Saudi Arabia.
Munir admitted to the Pakistani Army through the Officer Training School (OTS), which is considered an alternative and less prestigious route compared to the Pakistan Military Academy. Despite this, he gained constant progress in the army and now Pakistan’s most powerful persons were counted.

Experience of intelligence agencies
Munir is the first army chief of Pakistan to lead both Military Intelligence (Mi) and Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) intelligence agencies. After appointment as ISI chief in 2018, he informed Imran Khan about the alleged corrupt activities of his wife Bushra Bibi within nine months, due to which he was removed from the post ahead of time. He avenged that insult after Imran’s withdrawal from power in 2022 as an army chief. He then sent Imran to jail in many cases of corruption.
Learn what is the main threat to India
General Munir’s attitude towards India has been aggressive and harsh since the beginning. He was the ISI chief during the Pulwama attack on 14 February 2019 and now he is accused of being the mastermind of a terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir on 22 April 2025, killing 25 tourists and 1 local person.
Under the leadership of Munir, Pakistan suspended the 1972 Shimla Agreement against India and has also taken a tough stand on the Indus Water Treaty (IWT).
Hard governance and increasing strength
After becoming the Chief of Army, Munir has established control over political, judicial and economic institutions. It created a Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) so that the army is directly interfering in foreign investment and economy.
By amending the Parliament, Munir made a change in the seniority system of the judges and got his army chief’s mood from 3 to 5 years. Now he will remain the Chief of Army Staff till 2027 and the possibility of further expansion is open.
Jihadi ideology spread
In a public meeting in Peshawar, Munir openly stated that “we are doing jihad in the path of Allah” and the purpose of the army is “to be martyred or become ghazi”. With this rhetoric of Munir, he has been given the title of ‘Jihadi General’ by international analysts.
‘K2 Operation’ strategy against India
Experts believe that the Pakistani intelligence agency ISI is running the ‘K2 Operation’ led by Munir- which plans to destabilize Kashmir and Khalistan. On the one hand there are terrorist attacks in Kashmir, on the other hand, efforts are being made to spoil the atmosphere through drugs and gangs in Punjab.
Attempt to raise international support
Munir also plans to raise military equipment and political support from the US, China and Türkiye. He tried to win the trust of the Trump government by handing over the ISIS-K commander to the US. Pakistan has recently bought modern military technologies from China and Türkiye.
