“Now it is our responsibility to look after parents, families of Shuhada, which we have been doing and will continue to do so,” Gen Bajwa said.
He expressed these views while addressing the GHQ Investiture ceremony held at the General Headquarters on 19th May in Rawalpindi.
The COAS said as the Holy Prophet (SAW) said in a Hadith that Almighty Allah grants Maghifrat to a Shaheed before the first drop of his blood falls on soil.
He further said that power, wealth and money could never be a compensation for martyrdom of the armed forces personnel.
The army chief said Pakistan achieved successes against the menace of terrorism because of the sacrifices of Shuhada, Ghazis and their families. He said that the world community acknowledges that Pakistan Army was the only army that rooted out terrorism and also wonders if that success was possible.
