RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: The Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Bajwa has said that having failed to divide us through terrorism, our enemy is now trying to target and fragment us along sectarian and ethnic lines which merit a unified national response.
In a press release issued on Wednesday, the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) said that the COAS has interacted with religious clergy of all sects over the last few days for their positive involvement in defeating this ongoing sinister campaign.
It is assured that those responsible for Parachinar incidents shall be brought to law and victims will be compensated without any discrimination.
“Alhamdulillah, we have brought security situation in country including FATA under control and shall not allow its regression at any cost,” the COAS said.
The COAS further said that Pakistan army is closely following the sectarian and ethnic colour being deliberately given to recent spate of incidents in the Country by hostile intelligence agencies and sponsored anti state elements.
The Army Chief also said that the ongoing malicious campaign of enemies of Pakistan which is also unwittingly being spread on social media is highly regrettable and we all need to be cognizant of it.
“For us every Shaheed/injured is equal, regardless of sect/ethnicity and indeed is a great loss,” the COAS said.
”We all are Pakistanis and Muslims who fully respect the religious rights of our Pakistani minorities.”
