Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir has said that India is the biggest sponsor of terrorism in the region.
Field Marshal Asim Munir, addressing the officers of the 52nd Common Training Program, said in the battle of truth, Pakistan gave the best response to India’s unjustified aggression from the Line of Control to the coast.
He said Pakistan’s armed forces are always ready according to the requirements of modern warfare. “We are sending a clear message to India that Pakistan has never accepted its monopoly and will never do so in the future,” he added.
He said terrorism is India’s internal problem which is the result of its biased and cruel attitude towards its own minorities, especially Muslims.
The Army Chief said, “As a nation, we Pakistanis have never bowed down to India and will never bow down.”
He said, “Afghanistan is a brotherly neighbour, an Islamic country and we want good relations with it. However, we demand only one thing from them: that they should not give space to India’s terrorist proxies, Fitan-ul-Hindustan and Fitan-al-Kharij.”
Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir instructed the officers to adopt the identity of Pakistaniness above their individual and regional identity. “Every system has problems and weaknesses. It is your job to prevent weaknesses and negative forces from dominating the system,” he added.
The Army Chief said that nations that forget their history also have a dark future. Know the story and history of Pakistan and pass it on to your future generations, he maintained.
Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir said that civil bureaucracy plays a key role in the functioning of the administration and young officers should make honesty, professionalism and patriotism their motto.
He said the Pakistan Army is the guarantor of regional peace and stability and young officers should emulate integrity and patriotism.
