Corps commanders for ‘decisive action’ against Indian proxies

RAWALPINDI: The Corps Commanders Conference on Thursday made it clear that “it is imperative to take decisive and holistic actions at all levels against the proxies backed and sponsored by India”.

During the meeting, it was observed, according to the ISPR, that “India is now doubling down to further its nefarious agenda through its proxies of Fitna Al Khawarij and Fitna Al Hindustan”, following its manifest defeat in direct aggression against Pakistan after the Pahalgam incident.

With Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir chairing the meeting, the participants promised that the blood of “our martyrs” would not go waste.

At the same time, they, listed the safety and security of people of Pakistan as the top most priority for the armed forces.

USE OF FORCE AS ‘PREFERRED POLICY TOOL’

Meanwhile, the Pakistan Army top brass also “conducted a holistic review of the prevailing internal and external security dynamics”.

Their main focus was “the recent developments in Middle East and Iran and growing propensity for ‘use of force’ as a preferred policy tool, which warrants persistent development of self-reliant capabilities as well as national unity and resolve.”

HINDUTVA-DRIVE EXTREMISM

“Invoking third parties in what is unmistakably a bilateral military confrontation reflects a disingenuous attempt at bloc politics aimed at falsely projecting India’s self-assigned role as a net security provider to accrue benefits in a region that is visibly growing disillusioned with Indian hegemonic ambitions and Hindutva-driven extremism.”

On the other hand, Field Marshal Asim Munir also used the opportunity to share the details “Pakistan’s proactive and successful diplomatic manoeuvre”. It included the recent visits to Iran, Turkiye, Azerbaijan, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, where he accompanied Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.

He also briefed the conference on his historic and unique visit the US, where meetings with top-tier leadership, afforded an opportunity to share Pakistan’s objective perspective on bilateral, regional and extra-regional developments.
