RAWALPINDI: While reiterating Pakistan’s commitment to peace, stability, and prosperity, the top military brass on Friday vowed that any Indian attempt to impose war would be responded to “surely and decisively.”
This affirmation came during a Special Corps Commanders’ Conference (SCCC) held with Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Syed Asim Munir, NI (M) in the Chair, at the General Headquarters (GHQ), said a news release issued by Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR).
The forum stated, “Deliberate destabilization efforts by the Indian government, whether through state actors or proxies, will be confronted and defeated with resolve and clarity.”
The forum also vowed that Pakistan’s path to peace and development would not be deterred by terrorism, coercion, or aggression.
The SCCC expressed grave concern over the intensification of Indian atrocities in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), particularly in the aftermath of the recent Pahalgam incident, as well as the continued targeting of innocent civilians along the Line of Control (LoC) by Indian forces.
The forum reiterated that such inhumane and unprovoked acts serve only to escalate regional tensions and would be met with a resolute and proportionate response, the press release stated.
The forum noted with serious concern India’s consistent pattern of exploiting crises to achieve political and military objectives. “They have been following a predictable template — whereby internal governance failures are externalized,” it added.
