RAWALPINDI: Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa visited the troops on Line of Control (LOC) at Mattewala, Munaawar Sector.
General Officer Commanding (GOC) briefed the COAS about operational situation. While appreciating vigilance of the troops, Bajwa said that unprovoked Indian cease fire violations have been responded effectively.
COAS was of the view that Indian cease fire violations have a design. On one side, it is an effort to divert the world’s attention from her atrocities against innocent Kashmiris, on the other; it is an attempt to dilute our response against terrorism.
The targeting of civilians along LOC is deliberate and disgraceful. We are fully aware of Indian design and the country’s support to terrorism in Pakistan and the region.
He said that Pakistan Army soldiers are known for their professional competence, motivation and for their selfless devotion to defend their motherland.
Indian spy, KulbhushanYadev, is an evidence of these efforts and his case will be taken to the logical conclusion. COAS said that Pakistan Army will do its duty to protect people of Pakistan and Azad Kashmir against all forms of Indian aggression.
“We will continue our solidarity with people of Kashmir, who are struggling for their right of self-determination,” he said.
Earlier on arrival, the COAS was received by Rawalpindi Corps Commander Lt Gen Nadeem Raza.
