COAS Gen. Ashfaq Pervez Kayani |
The military’s top man spoke high about Pakistan’s ideology saying, “We as nation can only succeed if we have full faith and believe in Pakistan’s ideology. Creating suspicions in this belief is tantamount to weakening Pakistan.” Gen Kayani recalled last year’s Abbottabad operation as well as attack on Selala picket that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers. He said that certain elements were propagating against Pakistan Army. “Despite these sacrifices, certain circles are out to malign the military. But the army is united to foil any attempt that aims at destabilising this country. We have strived our utmost to safeguard Pakistan and will keep doing so”, he said. “The way Pakistani nation has stood by its army is really commendable and heart touching. We are deeply thankful to our nation and we reiterate that Pakistan Army would live up to the nations’ expectations.”
Kayani particularly recalled the sacrifices rendered by Frontier Corps (FC), Frontier Constabulary (FC), Rangers and Police saying that Pakistan’s security forces were ready to pay ‘every price it takes in the motherland’s defence.’ Gen Kayani said Pakistan is facing grave security challenges and its armed forces, security forces and the people were united to sabotage every move against Pakistan. “Together we would defeat every challenge”, the army chief resolved. “Martyrdom is a very noble achievement. Those who have embraced it are lucky and our support, prayers and condolences are with the bereaved families. The blood of the martyrs calls us to stay united. Together we can make Pakistan a strong and welfare state.” The general also spoke high of the international community and those countries that sent their rescue teams to Gayari in order to assist Pakistan Army. Giving background of the Martyrs Day, Gen Kayani said, the Day was dedicated to the martyrs three years ago. “Since then, we celebrate the Martyrs Day annually to pay homage to our great men who have given their blood for this country.”
