Pakistan Army is the Guarantor of Pakistan's Integrity!

 

It is unimaginable what could happen to Pakistan in the form of external aggression and internal conspiracies in case the Pakistan Army is weakened. It is also an undeniable fact that an army cannot fight against the enemy without support from the nation. So what are the elements who, despite being aware of the dangers looming over the state, are busy misleading the Pakistani people against the army, the only Defense line. Don't they know that after the US occupation of Afghanistan in 2001, Pakistan Army officers and soldiers sacrificed their lives for the protection of their homeland and nation to thwart the world's most dangerous war on terror imposed on Pakistan through Afghanistan? That is the new history of sacrifices and martyrdoms. All those leaders of political parties who instead of considering the race for power and governmental power instead of as a duty to serve the people, used to reward their families and friends and plunder the national treasury. Where were these politicians when the suicide bombers rocked every city in the country? Neither the places of worship nor the schools were safe from their destruction. Amusement parks, bazaars, police stations, courts, hospitals, government offices and funeral homes were also targeted by terrorists. Our political leaders did not have the courage to issue a statement against the terrorists.

 At that time, there were only officers and soldiers of the Pak army who were fighting safe from their destruction against the terrorists attacking the people safe from their destruction. Terrorists were unidentifiable and exploded bombs wherever they wanted. The masterminds of this terrorism imposed on Pakistan were not ordinary people, all the major powers including India were behind the terrorists who had control over Afghanistan. The terrorists were equipped with all kinds of modern weapons to fight against Pakistan. They had safe havens in the tribal areas where an armed terrorist could take a stand against a hundred men. It was not even in the imagination of the enemy forces that the Pak Army would be able to destroy the safe havens of terrorists with such courage and recklessness that if a son of the Pak Army was martyred then immediately the other would have continued to take action against the terrorists. Even at a time when the sons of the homeland were sacrificing their lives for the security of the nation and the country, there was a constant political confrontation in the houses of power to loot the national treasury and seize power.

    When terrorist hideouts were destroyed, their leaders and their remaining comrades were forced to take refuge in Afghanistan. These moments became a source of embarrassment for the occupying forces in Afghanistan. The United States, which had earlier demanded Do More from Pakistan, the contrary, Pakistan started demanding action from the United States against the terrorists hiding in Afghanistan. In order to discredit Pakistan, the Indian Army's statement of supporting terrorists against ISI was fabricated. The construction of a barbed-wire fence on Pakistan's long eastern border to prevent the spread of terrorism by entering Pakistan through Afghanistan under the auspices of the US, India and other anti-Pakistan forces was nothing short of a defeat for the terrorists in Pakistan. Which is almost in the process of completion and in its completion also hundreds of soldiers of the Pak Army have sacrificed their lives. Unfortunately, even in these circumstances Hussain Haqqani, Altaf Hussain, Pakhtun Tehfeez Movement and BLA Mutual Alliance continued to mislead against Pak Army, ISI and Pak Army. Thousands of tweets and fabricated stories against Commanders of the Pak Army were spread on social media on a daily basis. This propaganda is very old and has been going on since the time of independence of Pakistan by the enemies of Pakistan especially India and its allies. Attempts were made to divide the army and incite the Pakistani people against the Pak army. It is extremely dangerous and is tantamount to setting one's own house on fire.

    The Pakistani supporters of such a heinous game have no idea that the enemies of Pakistan have been trying for decades to undermine the confidence of the Pakistani people in the Pakistan Army. They do not know that the people of Pakistan love their army immensely. Pakistanis are obsessed with the notable activities of ISI to see how the anonymous soldiers of Pakistan have recognized themselves as the first position in the world. The people of Pakistan are well aware of the sacrifices made by their army. They know that in the presence of the Pakistan Army, the enemy may think of attacking Pakistan but practically, they will not dare to do so. No one can turn a blind eye to the everlasting sacrifices of the Pakistan Army.  That is why, taking stern notice of the storm-like campaign against the Pakistan Army on social media, on 12 April 2022 under the chairmanship of Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa the Formation Commanders Conference held at GHQ came into effect. According to ISPR, the conference reiterated that there is nothing more important than Pakistan's national security. Taking note of the campaign to create division between the Army and the people, the formation commanders endorsed the best decisions of the military leadership for the rule of law and constitution and expressed their full confidence in these decisions and said that Pak Army It will stand with the state institutions without compromise. On the occasion, Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa said that Pakistan Army would ensure Pakistan's defence at all costs in all internal and external threats. 

On April 14, 2022, DISPR Major General Iftikhar Babar in his press conference cleared all the ambiguities that have been spreading on social media for the last few days in the form of propaganda against the Pakistan Army. He clarified that Army Chief General Qamar Javed, who will retire at the end of his tenure, has no intention of further extension. Maj. Gen. Iftikhar Babar stressed the need to take strong measures to protect society from the effects of propaganda and rumours. Responding to a question, he warned everyone to be careful when talking about nuclear assets. He also rejected the meeting between Imran Khan former PM and COAS on the night of 09 April 2022 and declared the story of BBC as fabricated and baseless.
