RAWALPINDI
\nChief of Army Staff (COAS), General Syed Asim Munir has expressed the hope that people of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir will get freedom from clutches of brutal occupation forces.
\nWhile addressing, the Azadi, Parade at Pakistan Military Academy (PMA) Kakul late last night, he said, \u201cTo my Kashmiri Brethren, I would say that Inshallah you will also get free from the clutches of brutal occupation forces, as we got our freedom 76 years ago, through your rightful cause of self-determination and indigenous freedom struggle.\u201d
\n\u201cNo evil design can withstand the determination of the Kashmiri people, despite the communication blackouts, blatant use of the bayonets and turning Illegally Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir into the largest prison in the world,\u201d he added.
\n\u201cIt is for the conscience of international community to realize, that Indian excesses in Kashmir have gone unaddressed and right to freedom and self-determination is being denied at the altar of geo-political necessity. To all Kashmiris, I reiterate the assurance and full backing of your brothers in arms and the complete Pakistani nation,\u201d the COAS said.
\nFor India, he said to our neighbor, who has never been able to reconcile with the idea of Pakistan and is a threat to regional peace and stability, \u201cI must say that we gained freedom after a great struggle and we know how to defend it!.\u201d
\n\u201cThe strategic calculus of our arch rival, skewed by its outsized ambition, carrying an illusion of being a great power and blinded by Hindutva driven hyper nationalism, needs serious attention of the world,\u201d he underscored.
\n\u201cWe will never be coerced by any aggressive designs, and neither can the region afford such hostility amongst two nuclear powers. Unfortunately, the adversary continues to peddle its nefarious designs against us for petty political mileage; I would humbly remind them of their predicament, last time they tried to do so,\u201d he said
\nThe Army Chief in his address at the PMA, Kakul, Azadi, Parade held in connection with the 76th Independence Day felicitated the nation on its over seven decades of freedom and appreciated the smartly turned out soldiers for expressing their professional skills on the occasion. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
