"Asim Munir, you are a coward", “shame on you, mass murderer" and “shame on you, dictator", people were seen chanting these slogans as his car arrived at the hotel.

The authorities tried to stop them from entering the premises.

A man, showing a screen with the slogan "mass murderer", said, "We are here to welcome Asim Munir. This is Washington's Four Seasons hotel. This is telling him what he has done to Pakistan."

"People are here to hunt you", he said in the video. However, the video cannot be verified.

"Shame, shame on you. Free Pakistan. Civilian supremacy in Pakistan. Shame on you, b*****d," the man added.

In another video, a mobile electronic billboard can also be seen parked near the building, with slogans on it of, "Asim Munir, mass murderer" and “democracy dies when guns speak.”
