COAS General Syed Asim Munir condemns India’s ongoing oppression & brutalities against Kashmiris
RAWALPINDI, June 19 (SABAH): General Syed Asim Munir, NI (M), Chief of Army Staff (COAS), visited the Line of Control (LOC) in the Haji Pir sector to celebrate Eid-ul-Azha with the troops.
According to the statement issued by the ISPR, COAS Syed Asim Munir offered Eid prayers with officers and soldiers at the front line, praying for Pakistan’s peace and prosperity. On this festive occasion, COAS paid respects to the sacrifices of the martyrs of Pakistan.
Addressing the troops, COAS commended their dedication, high morale, and commitment to defending the motherland. He remarked, “As soldiers, we take pride in celebrating such festivities away from our homes and loved ones while on duty, ensuring the security of our country and fellow citizens.”
Discussing the indigenous freedom struggle of the Kashmiri people in IIOJK, COAS reiterated Pakistan’s principled stance, aligned with relevant UN resolutions. He condemned India’s ongoing oppression and brutalities against Kashmiris, noting that post-election, India has been attempting to mask its aggression and victimization of the Kashmiri people with false propaganda and provocations against Pakistan. Such tactics, including manufacturing false flag operations, have become a routine political tool of India.
“Pakistan has always supported peace and stability in the region; however, any provocation or violation of Pakistan’s territorial sovereignty will be met with a swift and resolute response, with the full support of the nation, InshaAllah,” COAS concluded.
Earlier, upon arrival, COAS was received by the Commander of Rawalpindi Corps.
Meanwhile the Armed Forces of Pakistan, CJCSC and Services Chiefs extend their warm felicitations to all Pakistanis on the occasion of Eid-ul-Azha.
According to the statement issued by the ISPR, this sacred event embodies the spirit of sacrifice for the greater good. On this auspicious day, we are indebted to our martyrs and ghazis for the independence and peace which prevail in the country, and pay tribute to their ultimate sacrifices.
“May Allah Almighty continue to bestow His blessings upon Pakistan and protect it from the nefarious designs of its adversaries, Ameen” the statement concluded.
