Munir’s ‘dumper’ comments prove Pak’s failure: Rajnath
Hindustan Times Delhi
|August 23, 2025
Defence minister Rajnath Singh on Friday took a swipe at Pakistan army chief Field Marshal Asim Munir for likening his country to a “dumper truck full of gravel” that can stymie India, saying his remarks were “a revealing admission” of the neighbouring country’s failure.
“Iftwo countries got independence together, and one built an economy like a sports car with hard work, right policies and vision, while the other remains stuck in failure, it is their own doing. This is not a joke, it is a confession,” he said at the ET World Leaders Forum.
Munir's comments, Singh said, were “not merely troll material buta revealing admission”.
