RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: The 81st Formation Commanders Conference has expressed firm resolve that desecrators of Shuhada (martyrs) Monuments, Jinnah House, and attackers of military installations would certainly be brought to justice speedily under the Pakistan Army Act and Official Secret Act which are the derivatives of the Constitution of Pakistan.
The forum while condemning the 9th May Black Day incidents in the strictest sense stated that efforts to create distortions and attempts to take refuge behind imaginary and mirage Human Rights Violations to create a smoke screen for hiding the ugly faces of all involved, are absolutely futile and do not stand the abundantly collected irrefutable pieces of evidence.

The forum also resolved that endeavors by any quarter to create obstructions and stymie the conclusive defeat of ill design of inimical forces will be dealt with iron hands.
