General Syed
Asim Munir, NI (M), Chief of Army Staff (COAS) presided over the 262nd Corps
Commanders’ Conference (CCC) held at GHQ, today.
Forum paid
rich tribute to the supreme sacrifices of Shuhadas including officers and men
of the Armed Forces, Law Enforcement Agencies and the citizens who have laid
their lives for ensuring peace and stability in the country.
Forum
resolved that terrorists, their facilitators and abettors, working on behest of
hostile forces to destabilise Pakistan, will be dealt with full might of the
state.
COAS stated
that Pakistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity are sacrosanct and
inviolable. Pakistan believes in peaceful co-existence with all states,
however, there would never be any compromise over country’s sovereignty,
national honour and aspirations of Pakistani people.
The forum was
briefed on the callous Indian campaign of extra-territorial and extra-judicial
killings, perpetuating state-sponsored terrorism and targeting Pakistani
citizens. The forum agreed that blatant violation of international laws by
India and its real face be exposed to the world. The international community
has already shown serious concerns over the criminal behaviour of India and its
use of state apparatus for killing spree around the world.
The forum
reiterated unequivocal support for Palestine and the people of Gaza while
noting the extremely negative fallout of the conflict and the potential to
spill over in the wider region. The immediate need for a permanent ceasefire
and enduring solution to the Palestinian question was unanimously recognised.
In the same vein, Pakistan’s resolve to support the people of IIOJK for their
right of self determination was reiterated. Pakistan would continue to morally,
politically and diplomatically support Kashmir brothers and sisters till
justice is served in accordance with relevant UNSC resolutions.
The forum
also discussed deployment of Pakistan Army to assist Election Commission of
Pakistan (ECP) in the peaceful conduct of General Elections 2024. Pakistan Army
will perform assigned duties as per the Constitutional mandate, under the
guidelines of ECP. No one would be allowed to indulge in violence in the name
of political activity and sabotage the quintessential democratic exercise of
conduct of free and fair elections.
The forum
acknowledged and appreciated the steps taken against spectrum of illegal
activities and criminal mafias including smuggling, hoarding, money laundering,
power theft and illegal aliens. The participants emphasised that such actions
and their positive impact on the economy and well being of the people need to
continue without any let up.
The forum was
briefed on operational preparedness of the formations. COAS asked formation
commanders to continue their focus on the training, administration and morale
of the soldiers.
