Pakistan’s Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir, on a five-day visit to Washington, faced protests by Pakistani‑Americans outside his hotel. Demonstrators, many linked to Imran Khan’s PTI chanted slogans like “Shame on you, mass murderer,” “dictator,” and “Islamabad ka Qatil.” Viral videos show crowds challenging authorities, holding banners reading “Mass Murderer,” “Democracy dies when guns speak,” and demanding civilian supremacy. Protesters accused Munir of crushing democracy and called for free elections. His visit, timed near U.S. Armed Forces’ 250th anniversary parade, sparked diplomatic chatter though the White House denied inviting him to the event. The scenes in D.C. reflect deep discontent within Pakistan’s diaspora over military rule.
