'Stop, Where Is Your ID': Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir Faces Embarassment At Munich Conference During 'Security Check' | WATCH

New Delhi: Pakistan's Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir reportedly faced an uncomfortable protocol incident in Munich where he has been invited for an international security conference.  

The footage of the official allegedly being subjected to a significant procedural snub in Germany during his alleged encounter with security at the Munich Security Conference (MSC) has taken social media by storm and is widely being circulated and debated online.

'Ordinary Guest'

According to sources, Field Marshal Munir was treated as an ordinary guest at the event and was required to present his identification. 

The widely-circulated viral moment shows how a female security officer stopped Field Marshal Munir's entourage at the Munich venue. 

As per the video, she also challenged the Army Chief by demanding his ID and specifically telling him to 'flip' the card so she could inspect it properly. She stated, “Stop – where is your ID? Please flip your ID card."

Sources, meanwhile, indicate that the officer involved did not afford the general the typical protocol reserved for visiting leaders, instead insisting on a strict ID verification. 

As footage has drawn significant ridicule across digital platforms, where critics claim the exchange highlights a lack of global prestige.

JSMM objects to Munir's participation

A Germany-based Sindhi political organization, the Jeay Sindh Muttahida Mahaz (JSMM), has strongly objected to the participation of Pakistan's Chief of Army Staff, Asim Munir, in the ongoing Munich Security Conference (MSC), calling the invitation "deeply regrettable" and urging international stakeholders to take note.

Members of the JSMM protested outside the venue, highlighting the human rights violations in Pakistan. 

In a formal statement addressed to the United Nations, the European Union, the German government, and international human rights bodies, JSMM Chairman Shafi Burfat expressed what he described as "deep shock and regret" over Munir's presence at the high-level global forum.
