\u201cPakistan Army well versed with full threat spectrum and perpetually ready to respond effectively,\u201d says COAS
\nRawalpindi
\nChief of Army Staff (COAS) General Syed Asim Munir Monday reiterated that any aggression or violation of the territorial sovereignty of Pakistan will be responded to with full national resolve and military might.
\nAccording to a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the army chief made the remarks while addressing the troops deployed on the front lines along the Line of Control (LoC) in the Sarian Sector on Monday.
\nThe trip comes on February 5, the day when Pakistan marks Kashmir Solidarity Day, to express wholehearted support for the struggle of Kashmiri brothers and sisters in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
\n\u201cPakistan Army is well versed with the full threat spectrum and is perpetually ready to respond effectively,\u201d the army chief said. The COAS also mentioned the Indian state-sponsored terrorism in Pakistan which now extended to the heinous targeting of individual Pakistani citizens on our soil. Such callous disregard for international law and norms of the international system was becoming a routine occurrence and India was now being called out openly by many countries in the world, exposing her sham credentials, Gen Munir added.
\nThe COAS also appreciated the operational readiness, high morale, and effective response of the troops to Indian ceasefire violations.
\n\u201cPakistan would continue to expose all such attempts and ensure the security of its citizens,\u201d said ISPR.
\nEarlier today, caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar, Azad Jammu and Kashmir Prime Minister Chaudhry Anwarul Haq, and the army chief visited Muzaffarabad.
\nUpon arrival at the Jammu and Kashmir Monument Muzaffarabad, the premiers and the army chief laid a floral wreath at the Martyrs\u2019 Monument and paid rich tribute to the supreme sacrifices of Shuhada, said ISPR.
\n\u201cThe leadership acknowledged that the fortitude, resilience and unwavering faith of Kashmiris in the face of unabated brutality of Indian occupation forces in IIOJK had been exemplary.\u201d
\n\u201cThe brewing humanitarian and security crises in the IIOJK seriously threatens regional peace and stability. Pakistan would always stand with Kashmiris in their just struggle for the inalienable right to self-determination in light of UNSC resolutions.\u201d
\n\u201cIndia is attempting to change the demography of IIOJK through illegal administrative and unilaterally imposed draconian laws and security clampdowns. Such machinations cannot suppress the will and the yearning of the Kashmiri people to attain their legitimate objectives,\u201d read the statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
