US EditionWhy Pakistan Army chief Asim Munir’s visit to Bahawalpur has grabbed India’s attention
- On January 29, Asim Munir visited the Bahawalpur Garrison, was briefed on operational matters, and observed the high‑intensity 'Steadfast Resolve' exercise, ISPR said.
- Bahawalpur is notable because it houses one of the nine terror sites struck in Operation Sindoor last May, including the Markaz Subhan Allah camp near Pakistan's 31 Corps cantonment.
- Defence experts note that JeM headquarters spans over 15 acres and trained Pulwama attackers who killed 40 CRPF personnel in 2019; sources cited by News18 say Munir's visit appeared to reassure the group amid ISI support.
- Sources told News18 that Munir's visit is being seen as a message to India, emphasizing drones and modern warfare, while serving domestic audiences and reassuring JeM, according to assessments.
- In strategic terms, Pakistan armed forces are rapidly embracing technology, expecting technological manoeuvres to replace physical ones, while Rawalpindi’s exercise in Bahawalpur could reaffirm key security partnerships, Indian intelligence observes.
