Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) and Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir on Thursday resolved to defeat foreign-sponsored proxies’ nefarious designs in Balochistan with “decisive response”, saying consistent efforts of security forces would bring lasting peace to the province.
The army chief made the remarks while interacting with participants of the 20th National Workshop Balochistan at General Headquarters in Rawalpindi, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement.
Addressing the participants, CDF Munir said that consistent efforts of security forces and law enforcement agencies, backed by the steadfast support of the people would bring lasting peace to Balochistan.
The army chief reaffirmed that targeted operations against Fitna al-Khawarij and Fitna al-Hindustan would continue with full resolve until the menace of terrorism and its abettors are eliminated from Pakistan, the ISPR said.
“He reiterated Pakistan’s firm resolve to dismantle terrorist infrastructure wherever it poses a threat to the country and its people,” it added.
Field Marshal Munir underscored that foreign-sponsored proxies have persistently sought to fuel violence, undermine stability and disrupt peace in Balochistan.
He, however, affirmed that their “nefarious designs” will be defeated through a firm and decisive response of the armed forces, supported by the resilience and unity of the people of Pakistan.
