Director General Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR) Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry on Thursday clarified that the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Field Marshal Asim Munir has not given any interview to any journalist.
\nHe termed Suhail Warraich\u2019s action inappropriate and described it as an effort of self-promotion and personal gain.<\/p>\n
Talking to journalists, the DG ISPR said the article by Suhail Warraich, which is currently being discussed, pertains to an event in Brussels where hundreds of people took photographs. \u201cNeither PTI nor any apology came under discussion,\u201d he said.
\nHe said that the perpetrators and facilitators of the May 9 incidents must be brought to justice in accordance with the law. Expressing regret, he said that even a senior journalist had demonstrated such irresponsibility.
\nThe DG ISPR said that Pakistan is capable of changing the destiny of the entire region, which is why it continues to face repeated attacks.
\nTerming the youth as a great asset of Pakistan, he urged them to understand the legacy and history of their ideological state and to recognize their strength. \u201cThe day they realize their power, no extremist or proxy will be able to frighten them,\u201d he added.
\nHe said India believed that by supporting its terrorist proxies and facilitators, it could discredit the Pakistan Army through an attack. However, everything unfolded contrary to India\u2019s nefarious designs, he observed.
\nPakistan and its armed forces gave a befitting response to India and its proxies, he asserted.
\nHe recounted how some believed that India, with its military machine worth billions of dollars, would easily defeat Pakistan. There were even suggestions that India and its proxies\u2014including Fitna al-Khawarij and Fitna Hindustan\u2014should attack Pakistan simultaneously. However, he said, the entire world witnessed how Pakistan faced the enemy on both fronts.
\nThe DG ISPR said that the decision made by all political parties in 2014 to dismantle the \u201cillegal spectrum\u201d to eliminate terrorism from Pakistan has not been fully implemented.
\n\u201cWhen illegal Afghan residents involved in crimes are to be deported, certain political and criminal elements within our own country begin to create problems,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He stressed the need to implement all 14 points of the National Action Plan in letter and spirit. Governance gaps, he said, are being filled daily by the sacrifices of military, police, and law enforcement personnel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
