RAWALPINDI: Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa on Thursday said the justified struggle of Kashmiri people was “destined to succeed” in spite of their ordeal while presiding the 229th Corps Commanders’ Conference at the General Headquarters (GHQ).
According to a statement issued Thursday by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the meeting paid a glowing tribute to those living in the occupied Kashmir and braving a continued siege as well as the Indian Army’s brutalities.
The corps commanders conference also reviewed the geo-strategic situation, focusing especially on Pakistan’s internal security and the situation on borders.
“Provocative statements of Indian leadership are irresponsible rhetoric with implications for the region,” it added.
As per the military’s media wing, the commanders resolved that Pakistan’s armed forces “are forces of order and peace and fully prepared to thwart any misadventure, whatever the cost”.
“Forum was also apprised about the progress of ‘Operation Radd ul Fasaad’ which has put security situation of the country on a positive trajectory for enduring peace and stability,” the press release read.
Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Imran Khan warned his Indian counterpart, Narendra Modi, saying if the latter dared to attack Pakistan, it would be his “last mistake”.
“Modi, your first mistake was on August 5 when you revoked the special status of Kashmir,” the prime minister said at Mirpur rally. “If you attack Pakistan and conquer it in 10 days like you said, I guarantee that each and every person in this country will fight you till the last breath.
