Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Asim Munir on Saturday said he was determined to not only defeat the attempts by Pakistan’s enemies to “drive a wedge” between the people and the armed forces but also “preserve and further solidify” their bond through “selfless performance” of constitutional duties.
Addressing the passing out parade of the Pakistan Military Academy in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Kakul, the army chief said: “Remember, people are central to the unity of the state and our future, as well as progress, depends on internal cohesion, democracy and constitutionalism.
“Our enemies are hell-bent upon driving a wedge between our people and armed forces for their ulterior motives. We will ensure that this bond is preserved and further solidified through selfless performance of the duties entrusted to us within the confines of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.”
