General Munir calls for upholding two-nation theory
In his speech, General Munir also stressed the two-nation theory, stating that Pakistan's foundation was based on the belief that its people were different from Hindus.
"You have to tell Pakistan's story to your children so that they don't forget that our forefathers thought we were different from Hindus in every possible aspect of life,' he said. 'Our religions are different, our customs are different, our traditions are different, our thoughts are different, our ambitions are different. That was the foundation of the two-nation theory that was laid there. We are two nations, we are not one nation,' news agency PTI quoted him as saying.
