COAS reiterates Pakistan’s continued support to Kashmiris
Risalpur: Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Asim Munir on Thursday reiterated that Pakistan would continue to provide “moral, political and diplomatic support to our Kashmir brothers”.About
Addressing the passing-out parade of cadets at Pakistan Air Force (PAF) Asghar Khan Academy in Risalpur as the chief guest, he asserted that India had maintained its illegal occupation of the region. He said the “silence of the entire world about the ongoing Indian aggression in Kashmir cannot suppress the voice of freedom there”.
On the ongoing Israeli offensive on Gaza, which has killed more than 34,000 Palestinians, the army chief said the conflict was the “latest example of the sufferings that wars can bring”.
He said the indiscriminate killing of elderly people, women and children in Gaza was proof that violence was rising in the world.
Gen Munir highlighted that the PAF had always lived up to the expectations of the nation. He noted that without a strong air force, a country was at the mercy of any aggressor.
The army chief lauded the PAF for patrolling the airspace in all kinds of difficulties with “unparalleled bravery and professionalism”, terming the shooting down of Indian aircraft for violating airspace in February 2019 as a great example of the same.
