According to a statement issued by Pakistan military’s media wing, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) on Wednesday, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir interacted with participants of the 16th National Workshop Balochistan.
“Unwavering commitment”
“Addressing a diverse group of stakeholders including parliamentarians, representatives of civil society, civil servants, academicians, media personnel and youth; COAS resolutely reaffirmed Pakistan Army’s unwavering commitment to uproot the menace of terrorism and inevitability of sociology-economic uplift of Balochistan for national cohesion and integration” the ISPR said.
The COAS vehemently condemned India’s blatant sponsorship of terror proxies, characterizing them as a failed attempt to target the deep-rooted patriotism of the people of Balochistan.
Ma’arka-e-Haq
He elucidated that India, having suffered defeat in Ma’arka-e-Haq has now escalated its proxy war to advance her nefarious designs, specifically referencing to Fitna-al-Khawarij and Fitna-al-Hindustan as pawns of Indian hybrid war against Pakistan, the ISPR added.
The COAS said that “these proxies will face a similar fate and humiliation as faced in Ma’arka-e-Haq, Insha Allah.”
“Field Marshal Asim Munir emphasised that terrorists knew no bounds of religion, sect, or ethnicity, necessitating a unified national response, stressing the imperative of collective resolve in confronting this menace”, the ISPR’s statement said.
The COAS highlighted the pivotal role of development initiatives in Balochistan, advocating for enhanced inter-agency cooperation and a cohesive national approach to propel provincial progress and national advancement.
