The affirmation came during a Special Corps Commanders’ Conference (CCC) meeting chaired by Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Syed Asim Munir at General Headquarters (GHQ), Rawalpindi.
During today’s special moot of the military’s top brass, the forum conducted a comprehensive review of the prevailing geo-strategic environment, particularly emphasizing the current Pakistan-India standoff and the broader regional security calculus.
The participants reaffirmed the unflinching resolve of the Pakistani armed forces to uphold the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity against any aggression or misadventure.
COAS Munir lauded the unwavering professionalism, steadfast morale, and operational preparedness of the armed forces, standing in unity with the people of Pakistan to defend the homeland at all costs. He underscored the critical importance of heightened vigilance and proactive readiness across all fronts.
The forum 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 occupation forces.
“It was reiterated that such inhumane and unprovoked acts serve only to escalate regional tensions and will be met with a resolute and proportionate response,” the statement added.
The forum noted, with serious concern, India’s consistent pattern of exploitation of crises to achieve political and military objectives. “They have been following a predictable template — whereby internal governance failures are externalised,” it added.
“These incidents have often coincided with unilateral moves by India to alter the status quo, as seen in 2019 when India similarly exploited the Pulwama incident to unilaterally alter the status quo of IIOJK, through revocation of Article 370,” the ISPR noted.
