KAKUL, Oct 18 (APP): While vowing to defend every inch of Pakistan, Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir NI (M), HJ, on Saturday, cautioned Indian military leadership that there is no space for war in a nuclearised environment.
Addressing a passing out parade of Cadets of 152nd PMA Long Course, 26th Lady Cadet Course, 37th Technical Graduate Course here at the Pakistan Military Academy (PMA), the COAS advised India to settle the core issue as per international norms.
“We will never be intimidated or coerced by your rhetoric and will respond decisively to even a minor provocation without any qualms,” the COAS reiterated said.
He said that the most recent display of this spirit and resolve of the armed forces of Pakistan during Marka-i-Haq and Operation Bunyanum marsoos has further strengthened the trust and confidence of the people of Pakistan in the competence and far-reaching capabilities of its armed forces by neutralising all threats with remarkable professionalism.
Asim Munir said Pakistan has displayed its capabilities by downing advanced Rafales, targeting multiple bases including S-400s, and showcasing multi-domain warfare capabilities.
“India’s eagerness to adjudicate culpability, aversion of neutral investigations and staking self-created evidence was indicative of politicisation of terrorism for vested interests of the ruling regime,” he added.
He said that people of hues and colours, age, gender, ethnicity or creed, stood firm and tall like a wall of steel, leading to a renewed spirit of patriotism and national fervour, which prevails across the length and breadth of Pakistan.
“Ever since the creation of Pakistan, the armed forces, with full support of the nation, have defended the external and internal frontiers of the country with unfailing resolve, conviction and pride,” the COAS added.
Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir said, “Our collective success has reenergised and strengthened the proud and illustrious memories of our earlier successes. Pakistan once again came out victorious against a treacherous enemy marked by strategic blindness and naivety, and filled with hubris and rhetoric about its misguided hegemonic ambitions”.
