Rawalpindi
(EWN) Spokesman of Pakistan Army Lieutenant General Ahmed
Sharif Chaudhry has said that Pakistan Army is a national army, it has no
political agenda, neither is it an opponent of any political party, nor is it
in favor of any government. In relation to what is properly defined in the
constitution and law, the Faiz Hameed case is a proof of how seriously the
Pakistan Army takes violations committed for personal and political interests,
Lieutenant General (R) Faiz Hameed. Action will be taken against whoever is
involved in the case, irrespective of position or status. If any person in the
army works for his personal interests or promotes a specific political agenda
for his personal gain, then the Pakistan Army itself The system of
accountability comes into motion, those responsible have to be held accountable
for their actions in the light of evidence and evidence, the ongoing process is
another proof of this, that such indiscriminate self-accountability should
encourage the rest of the institutions as well. "Public trust in state
institutions is their best investment." The state will deal with
terrorists who are enemies of citizens' lives and development with iron hands.
If you have the courage, fight us, why are you targeting innocent citizens?
There is
no war in the country. He expressed these thoughts while holding a press
conference here on Thursday. I was being brought into office so it was not
expected at that time that he would be associated with a political party? DG
ISPR replied that the direct boss of ISI is the Prime Minister, you did not
mention the then Prime Minister. DG ISPR said that 32 thousand 173 operations
were conducted against terrorists and facilitators this year, during these
operations 90 Khawarij were sent to hell. Terrorists have carried out
operations in Balochistan. These operations have been carried out at the behest
of terrorists at home and abroad. Their aim is to affect the peaceful
environment and development of Balochistan by targeting innocent people. We
know that the people of Balochistan. There is also an impression of deprivation
and state repression, which is used by certain elements on the outside for
negative purposes. When there is no development, it will increase the narrative
of deprivation and state oppression. will further blame the state and allow the
heinous act to continue, the events that took place on the night of August 25,
26 were part of the same externally funded game.
I want to
give a clear message to the terrorists that the state will deal with the
enemies of the citizens' lives and development with iron hands. He said that
Pakistan Army believes in self-accountability process, its self-accountability
system is very comprehensive and robust process which is time-tested, it works
on the basis of concrete evidence and proofs, instead of allegations, whenever
the army If the rules and regulations are violated, this automatic system comes
into motion. Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif further said that the ISPR issued
on 12 August.In the statement, it was mentioned regarding the court martial
proceedings against Lt. Gen. (Rtd) Faiz Hameed, a request was formally received
in the Top City case against the retired officer, for a high-level court of
inquiry by the Pakistan Army in April 2024. Ordered, in order to carry out a
thorough investigation, after completing a detailed enquiry, based on concrete
evidence, on 12 August 2024, the Pakistan Army officially informed that the concerned
retired officer had violated the provisions of the Pakistan Army Act, the
retirement Later, several cases of violation of relevant laws were also
revealed on their part, on these grounds, field martial operations have been
initiated. There is a clear consensus in the Pakistan Army that the army as a
state institution can be used to fulfill any political interest.
But it
will be protected from use, the concerned officers will have other rights under
the law to advocate, appeal, etc. He said that Pakistan's war against terrorism
is being fought under an approved and coordinated strategy. Its four stages are
clear, hold, build and transfer, so we have to understand what is happening
with terrorism, we have always said that there is practically no area in
Pakistan where terrorists have a monopoly, so what There are stages of hold,
they have been completed. Now in the work of build and transfer, there is a
determination of all the stakeholders that it needs to be completed and the
responsibility in it lies with the local government and the provincial
government. It is because in this they have to bring social projects of health
education employment so that people are engaged in a daily life. Army actively
supports federal, provincial government and local government and there are many
projects of health education employment development in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,
Balochistan, units and formations of Pakistan Army do this work.
Facilitation
of would-be terrorists has increased since the transition in Afghanistan,
whether in the form of training camps or the provision of transportation
support, or whether it is Afghan citizens themselves joining the Fitnah
al-Khawarij. Whether it is in the form of suicide bombers, or the modern supply
of abandoned American weapons, it has increased. and they have nothing to do
with humanity and neither do they have anything to do with tribal values.
Pakistan and Afghanistan have good relations and those who believe that these
two brotherly Islamic countries are divided by creating misunderstandings. We
will call them that, they live in a fantasy world. The government has presented
the revised National Action Plan in the name of determination, sitting with all
the stakeholders.
There are
those that should be done in which the responsibility rests with the rest of
the stakeholders, among them three important steps are to strengthen the
criminal law of Pakistan, to break the nexus of terrorists and criminal mafias
and the third is to unite the entire nation. The language stands on a narrative
against terrorism and extremism. It is the responsibility of the rest of the
stakeholders. We will continue to support and support them as always. Faiz
Hamid and his court.When asked about the PTI's concerns while the marshal
proceedings are going ahead, DG ISPR said that it is a pending matter and your
question is based on assumptions but I must tell you that According to military
law, if any person, if any person or persons who are subject to the Army Act,
uses them for personal or political purposes and there is proof and evidence of
this, the law will take its own course.
