Spokesman Report

Islamabad: Chief of Army Staff General Asim Munir has warned inimical forces that Pakistan’s retribution would strike back far and deep if any form of warfare was applied against the country.

“Regardless of multi-layered and multi-dimensional threat piled up against us we stand united and reassured, traditional and non-traditional, dynamic or pro-active, whatever form of warfare is applied against us, our retribution will be sharp and painful and we will certainly strike back far and deep,” he said while addressing the Azadi Parade.

The parade marking the country’s 77th independence anniversary was held at the Pakistan Military Academy in Kakul late on Sunday.

“We know that freedom is not free and it caused many brave sons and daughters and we are always ready for that,” the army chief said and added that he has full faith and confidence that the people of Pakistan and its security forces would never relent and let anyone cast “evil eye on this great country.”

He thanked People’s Republic of China, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, State of Qatar, and Turkiye for standing with the country during thick and thin and extending to it every kind of support whenever needed.
