Munir’s visit to the US comes nearly a month after the military conflict between India and Pakistan was dangerously escalated following the terror attack on tourists in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam that killed 26 civilians on April 22. The two countries agreed to a “full and immediate ceasefire” on May 10 with Trump claiming that it was a result of the US-mediated talks.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar recently said that the “extreme religious outlook” of the Pakistan Army Chief had influenced the Pahalgam terrorists who killed tourists after identifying them by their faith. “…You have to see that on the Pakistani side, especially their Army chief, who is driven by an extreme religious outlook. There is clearly some connection between the views that were expressed and the manner the attack was carried out,” Jaishankar had said.
