The outspoken comments came through her Instagram post, where she accused the BJP leadership of damaging regional peace through extremist policies.
“BJP’s leadership is destabilizing India internally while harming regional peace through its divisive agenda,” Munir wrote.
She claimed the party uses anti-Pakistan rhetoric to distract from domestic issues and advance its political ambitions.
The actress specifically referenced attacks on minorities under the “Hindutva” ideology.
Munir contrasted this with Pakistan’s national unity, highlighting recent nationwide celebrations honoring military successes.
“The entire nation paid tribute to our armed forces – this reflects our unity and confidence,” she stated.
The actress expressed particular pride in Chief of Army Staff General Syed Asim Munir’s leadership during what she called a “decisive, historic moment.”
The post referenced ‘Operation Bunyan Marsoos’ as a landmark achievement in Pakistan’s defense history.
Analysts note Munir’s comments come amid heightened India-Pakistan tensions, with recent diplomatic spats over Kashmir and cross-border incidents.
Political observers suggest such celebrity statements often spark social media debates in both countries.
While Munir’s critique of BJP policies reflects concerns shared by some international human rights groups, her strong pro-military stance aligns with Pakistan’s prevailing nationalist sentiment.
The actress, known for her television and film roles, has previously commented on social issues but rarely on international politics.
Her latest remarks have garnered over 50,000 likes on Instagram, with mixed reactions from followers across South Asia.
