RAWALPINDI: Taking note of the recent anti-Pakistan rhetoric by Indian politicians, Chief of the Army Staff (COAS) General Raheel Sharif warned on Wednesday that Pakistan will defeat their designs and defend Pakistan’s territorial integrity at all costs.
“No one should dare cast an evil eye on Pakistan,” the army chief said while addressing the formation commanders’ conference here at the General Headquarters.According to DG ISPR Asim Bajwa, General Raheel paid rich tributes to the officers and men of the Pakistan Army for the phenomenal successes in Operation Zarb-e-Azb and the sacrifices they have rendered for the defence of the motherland.
The COAS said that the terrorists had been dislodged from their strongholds in North Waziristan and Khyber Agency and the fight was now moving into the last few pockets close to the Afghan border. Laying emphasis on the continuation of the operations till the elimination of the last expected and probable terrorist groups and sanctuaries, he exhorted the commanders to take all measures to prevent the escape of trapped terrorists.
“With the entire nation standing behind us, we will remain focused on achieving the objective of a terror-free and peaceful Pakistan,” the army chief said.Underscoring Pakistan’s multiple and complicated challenges, the COAS expressed his optimism, saying that the Pakistani nation was the most resilient nation in the world and was already on its way to emerging victorious out of these testing times. “Our main collective aim is to make Pakistan a secure, strong and prosperous country,” he said.
The formation commanders’ conference reiterated its resolve to defeat India’s designs and defend the territorial integrity of Pakistan at all costs with a befitting response to any misadventure against the country.
