Gaurav strongly condemns Pak Army Chief’s ‘jugular vein’ remark

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Aug 11: BJP spokesperson, Gaurav Gupta strongly condemned Pakistan Army Chief Field Marshal, Asim Munir’s recent “jugular vein” remark, made while addressing the Pakistani diaspora in Tampa, Florida during his ongoing visit to the United States.
Gupta termed the statement as “a desperate attempt to revive a failed narrative and mislead Pakistan’s own people.”
Gupta in a statement here, today asserted that Kashmir is and will always remain an integral and inseparable part of Bharat – not just as per the Constitution, but as the settled will of the Indian people and the unmatched sacrifices of the armed forces. “No foreign propaganda can change this reality,” he said.
Rejecting Munir’s rhetoric as historically false and politically motivated, Gupta stated that Pakistan’s so-called ‘jugular vein’ is not in Indian territory but in Rawalpindi’s terror factories – the breeding grounds of extremism that have bled the region for decades. “If Pakistan truly wishes to protect its ‘lifeline’, it should dismantle these terror hubs rather than spread lies on foreign soil,” he added.
Highlighting Pakistan’s collapsing economy, record-high inflation, and severe shortages of basic necessities, Gupta said the country’s military leadership is busy indulging in hollow chest-thumping abroad instead of fixing its broken economy and restoring dignity to its people. “Pakistan is chasing a 75-year-old failed agenda while its citizens suffer,” he remarked.
Recalling the Pahalgam attack and India’s decisive counter-terror operations, Gupta warned that cross-border terrorism will be met with a firm, fitting and final reply – always.
In a direct message to Islamabad, Gupta said: “Stop daydreaming about Kashmir, vacate PoK, end your terror sponsorship, and read the writing on the wall – Jammu & Kashmir is, was, and will always be Bharat. That is the beginning and the end of the story.”
