"…Our forefathers thought we were different from Hindus in every possible aspect of life," Munir said. “Our religion is different, our customs are different, our traditions are different, our thoughts are different, our ambitions are different. That’s where the foundation of the two-nation theory was laid. We are two nations, we are not one nation.”

He added that throughout the creation of the country, the previous generations of Pakistan had seemed always involved in struggle.

"Our forefathers have sacrificed immensely, and we have sacrificed a lot for the creation of this country, and we know how to defend it," he said.

He added: “My dear brothers and sisters and sons and daughters, please don’t forget the story of Pakistan and don’t forget to narrate the story of Pakistan to your next generation, so that their bond with Pakistan never weakens. Whether it is the third generation, or the fourth generation, or the fifth generation, they know what Pakistan is for them."

He would also take action against terrorists in Balochistan, saying "even ten generations of terrorists cannot harm Balochistan and Pakistan," the ANI reported via local media.

According to the commander, the army is determined to counter terrorism, and he appreciated offshore Pakistanis for their dedication and commitment towards the homeland.

"We will beat the hell out of these terrorists very soon ...you think, these 1500 terrorists belonging to BLA, BLF and BRA, etc, can take away Balochistan from us…" Munir asked, according to ANI. “Do Pakistan's enemies think that a handful of terrorists can decide the fate of Pakistan?...even ten generations of terrorists cannot harm Balochistan and Pakistan.”
