These speculations have come after India has imposed strict norms on Pakistan and Pakistani nationals in the country following the dastardly attack in Pahalgam's Baisaran meadows that claimed at least 26 lives. Initially, Lashkar-e-Taiba's (LeT) offshoot The Resistance Front (TRF) claimed responsibility, and days later they shook their hands off, saying it wasn't them and were victims of 'hacking'.
The statement they issued read, "The Resistance Front (TRF) unequivocally denies any involvement in the Pahalgam incident. Any attribution of this act to TRF is false, hasty, and part of an orchestrated campaign to malign the Kashmiri resistance. Shortly after the attack in Pahalgam, a brief and unauthorised message was posted from one of our digital platforms."
Gen Munir's disappearance from the public eye has gotten social media speculating about the matter; platforms have been abuzz with theories and more. Time will tell what has transpired and if the Pak Chief Army Staff has gone into hiding.
