COAS congratulates nation, govt and ECP on successful conduct of polls

by
COAS

RAWALPINDI:  Chief of Army Staff (COAS), General Syed Asim Munir congratulated the entire Pakistani Nation, Caretaker Government, Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), Political Parties and all winning candidates on successful conduct of General Elections 2024.

The Army Chief in a statement issued by the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) said that the free and unhindered participation by Pakistani people to exercise their right of vote demonstrated their commitment to democracy and the rule of law as enshrined in Constitution of Pakistan.

The COAS said, “Leadership and personnel of law-enforcement agencies deserve our highest appreciation for creating a safe and secure environment for the electoral process, despite overwhelming odds. The constructive role played by national media, civil society, members of civil administration and judiciary enabled the successful conduct of the largest electoral exercise in national history.”

“Pakistan’s diverse polity and pluralism will be well-represented by a unified government of all democratic forces imbibed with national purpose,” he added. “Elections and democracy are means to serve people of Pakistan and not ends in themselves.

The nation needs stable hands and a healing touch to move on from the politics of anarchy and polarisation which does not suit a progressive country of 250 Million people. Elections are not a zero-sum competition of winning and losing but an exercise to determine the mandate of the people.

Political leadership and their workers should rise above self-interests and synergise efforts in governing and serving the people which is perhaps the only way to make democracy functional and purposeful,” the Army Chief said.

As the people of Pakistan have reposed their combined trust in the Constitution of Pakistan, it is now incumbent upon all political parties to reciprocate the same with political maturity and unity. As we move forward from this national milestone we must reflect on where the country stands today and where our rightful place should be in the comity of nations, he added.

LoC Visit: PM, COAS pay tribute to sacrifices of martyrs

by
COAS

RAWALPINDI: Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar, Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJK) Prime Minister Ch. Anwar ul Haq and Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Syed Asim Munir visited the Muzaffarabad Jammu and Kashmir Monument to lay wreaths and pay rich tribute to the supreme sacrifices of the martyrs.

According to an Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) news release, the leadership acknowledged that the fortitude, resilience and unwavering faith of the Kashmiris in the face of unabated brutality of Indian occupation forces in the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu & Kashmir (IIOJK) had been exemplary.

PM, COAS visit Muzaffarabad Monument, pay tribute to sacrifices of martyrs They observed that brewing humanitarian and security crises in the IIOJK seriously threatened regional peace and stability. Pakistan would always stand with the Kashmiris in their just struggle for the inalienable right to self-determination in light of the United Nations Security Council resolutions, they added. “India is attempting to change the demography of IIOJK through illegal administrative and unilaterally imposed draconian laws and security clampdowns. Such machinations cannot suppress the will and the yearning of the Kashmiri people to attain their legitimate objectives,” the leadership resolved.

The COAS later visited troops deployed on the front lines along Line of Control (LOC) in the Sarian Sector. The Army Chief was briefed about the latest situation along the LOC and appreciated the operational readiness, high morale and effective response of troops to Indian ceasefire violations (CFVs). Addressing the troops, the COAS reiterated that any aggression or violation of territorial sovereignty of Pakistan would be responded with full national resolve and military might.

“The Pakistan Army is well versed with the full threat spectrum and is perpetually ready to respond effectively,” he added. The COAS also mentioned the Indian state sponsored terrorism in Pakistan which now extended to heinous targeting of individual Pakistani citizens on its soil.

“Such callous disregard for international law and norms of international system is becoming a routine occurrence and India is now being called out openly by many countries in the world, exposing her sham credentials.”

Pakistan would continue to expose all such attempts and ensure the security of its citizens, the COAS concluded.

COAS pledges to eliminate all type of mafias with masses support  

by
COAS

RAWALPINDI: Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Syed Asim Munir has pledged to eradicate all type mafias in the country with the support of the nation.

Addressing the National Farmers Convention in Islamabad, he reiterated the commitment to steer the country out of crises through agricultural reforms.

Army Chief emphasised that there have been rumours and negative things circulating about Pakistan. However, it is important to recognise that the establishment of both the Riyasat-e-Tayyaba and the State of Pakistan, both are rooted in Kalma, is not a mere coincidence.

Pakistan is abundant in resources. It boasts glaciers, rivers, mountains, and fertile land that yield high-quality rice, as well as delicious fruits such as oranges and mangoes. Additionally, Pakistan is known for its rich deposits of granite, gold, and copper, as stated by the Army Chief.

Pakistan experienced rapid growth in the sixties, but unfortunately, we lost sight of the fundamental principles of Quaid-i-Azam – faith, unity, and organisation. As a result, the country faced a decline, according to the Army Chief.

The focus of the Green Pakistan Initiative is to prioritise agriculture as our main area of work. The income of Green Pakistan Initiative will primarily be allocated to the provinces, with a portion dedicated to supporting farmers and agricultural research. The army’s involvement in this initiative is solely focused on serving the people and farmers, said Army Chief.

He further added, Agriculture Malls will be set up in every district, providing farmers with a wide range of agricultural facilities.

The Army Chief highlighted the importance of providing easy agricultural credit, establishing a cold storage chain, and promoting climate change resistant seeds and genetically engineered livestock.

The Army Chief vows to suppress all types of mafia, ensuring the safety and security of the nation.

COAS while paying glowing tribute to Quaid e Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s great vision and leadership on his 147th birthday, quoted Quaid’s historical remarks made in his speech on 11 August 1947 while addressing the Constituent Assembly, (quote)“You are free. You are free to go to your temples. You are free to go to your mosques or to any other places of worship in this State of Pakistan.” (Un-quote)

The Armed Forces of Pakistan have serious concerns on the safe havens and liberty of action available to Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in Afghanistan. It is expected that interim Afghan Government would not allow the use of its soil to perpetrate terror against any country, in the real sense and in line with commitments made in Doha Agreement.

The involvement of Afghan nationals in acts of terrorism in Pakistan is another important concern that needs to be addressed. Such attacks are intolerable and would elicit effective response from the Security Forces of Pakistan.

Operations against terrorists would continue unabated and the Armed Forces shall not rest till the menace of terrorism is rooted out from the country.
