Efforts to weaken army’s bond with people will never succeed: COAS

RAWALPINDI: Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Asim Munir on Monday said that those who are making futile efforts to drive a wedge and weaken the unbreakable bond between the people of Pakistan and its armed forces will never be able to succeed, the military said in a statement.

The army chief expressed these remarks during a visit to Quetta Garrison where he addressed officers of Command & Staff College Quetta, according to Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).

While addressing the officers, the COAS emphasised upon operational preparedness for conventional, sub-conventional and fifth-generation warfare.

“Those who are making futile efforts to drive a wedge and weaken the unbreakable bond between the people of Pakistan and its armed forces will never be able to succeed Insha Allah,” the army chief was quoted as saying by the military’s media wing.

General Asim said that the armed forces of Pakistan remain perpetually indebted to the valiant and proud people of Pakistan who, through the recent manifestation of their unique love for their armed forces across the length and breadth of the country, have given a befitting reply to the nefarious designs of the enemy and their collaborators.

The COAS further stated that the nexus between the internal collusive elements and external forces to create instability has amply been exposed to the people of Pakistan.

“Pak Army, being one of the strongest armies of the world, with the blessings of Allah and undaunted support of proud people of Pak, can neither be deterred nor coerced by anyone, Alhamdolillah,” he added.

The army chief also visited various welfare schemes for soldiers in Quetta Garrison. He was earlier received by Commander Quetta Corps.
