Rawalpindi, Pakistan: The Special Corps Commanders Conference (CCC) held at GHQ on May 15, 2023, took serious notice of the desecration of Shuhada pictures, and monuments, the burning down of historical buildings, and the vandalism of military installations.
Those involved in these heinous crimes against the military installations and personnel/ equipment will be brought to justice through trials under relevant laws of Pakistan including the Pakistan Army Act and the Official Secret Act
The Forum further observed that this plan of targeting military-related places was executed to malign the institution and provoke it towards giving an impulsive reaction. Forum condemned, in the strongest. The meeting was presided over by General Syed Asim Munir, COAS.
The forum observed that based on the irrefutable evidence collected so far, Armed Forces are well aware of the planners, instigators, abettors, and perpetrators of these attacks, and attempts to create distortions in this regard are absolutely futile.
The Forum expressed the firm resolve that those involved in these heinous crimes against the military installations and personnel/ equipment will be brought to justice through trials under relevant laws of Pakistan including the Pakistan Army Act and the Official Secret Act. The Forum resolved that restraint will no longer be exercised against perpetrators, spoilers, and violators who attack military installations and setups under any circumstances.
Forum stressed the need for strict implementation of relevant laws to penalize the violators of social media rules and regulations
Forum acknowledged the successful Counter Terrorism and Intelligence Based Operations in the country by Security Forces, especially the valiant response given by the troops in the Muslim Bagh attack, and paid rich tribute to the supreme sacrifices made by the brave sons of the soil. The forum was briefed in detail about the prevailing internal and external security environment. Forum took comprehensive stock of the Law and Order situation in the past few days that was created to achieve vested political interests.
The Commanders also communicated the anguish and sentiments of the rank and file of the Army on these unfortunate and unacceptable incidents stating that seemingly politically motivated and instigated incidents against military installations and public/private properties were reported.
Forum also showed concern over externally sponsored and internally facilitated, orchestrated propaganda warfare, unleashed against the Army leadership, meant to create fissures between the Armed Forces and the people of Pakistan, and within the rank and file of the Armed Forces. The vicious propaganda of such inimical forces will be defeated with the support of the people of Pakistan, who have always stood with the Armed Forces during all odds. Forum stressed the need for strict implementation of relevant laws to penalize the violators of social media rules and regulations.
Forum emphasized the need for national consensus amongst all stakeholders to address ongoing political instability as a priority so as to restore public confidence, reinvigorate economic activity and strengthen the democratic process. The forum also resolved to support all such efforts to reach this much-needed consensus.
Forum resolved that the Pakistan Army with the full support of the people of Pakistan, will defeat all nefarious designs of the enemies of Pakistan, Insha Allah.
