"India Like Mercedes": Pak Minister Doubles Down On Asim Munir's "Crude Analogy" | Read
The Shehbaz Sharif government in Pakistan seems to be backing Army Chief Asim Munir's embarrassing admission of Islamabad's current standing vis-Ã -vis New Delhi. Pakistan's de facto military ruler, during his recent visit to the United States, compared India to a "shining Mercedes" and his own country to a "dump truck".
Lauding Munir's leadership during the India-Pakistan military conflict, Pakistan's interior minister, Mohsin Naqvi, said that the Field Marshal used the same analogy to boast about Pakistan's prowess to a Saudi delegation that visited Pakistan in May amid war.
"The Field Marshal told them, 'India is like a shining Mercedes, but we are like a dumper truck loaded with stones. Imagine the result if they collide.' The delegation remained silent," he said during a seminar in Lahore.
