A Corps Commanders’ Conference (CCC) on Tuesday stressed that the Pakistan Army’s “rigorous system” of accountability allows no room for exceptions or partiality, adding strict adherence to the same strengthens the Army’s integrity and discipline.
Chaired by Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Gen. Asim Munir, the CCC emphasized that the Army is a disciplined institution that upholds the highest standards of professionalism, integrity, and loyalty to the state and institution. “The institution’s well-established and rigorous system of accountability ensures that these values are preserved with unwavering commitment, allowing no room for exceptions or partiality,” it said, stressing strict adherence to accountability “fortifies the Army’s integrity, ensuring that no individual is above the law or exempt from scrutiny.”
The forum also recognized the urgency and significance of a robust and effective legal system, with a statement from the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) quoting the Army chief as emphasizing that the Army would continue to extend comprehensive support to the government, administrative apparatus, and law enforcement agencies for swift and lawful action against terrorists, anarchists, and criminal mafias. “The forum also expressed satisfaction over ongoing efforts against illegal spectrum operating in collusion with terrorist networks,” it said, stressing on the “critical” need to safeguard national cyber space through stringent cybersecurity measures.
According to the ISPR, the forum was briefed on the prevailing geo-strategic environment, national security challenges, and strategic and operational responses to emerging threats. In assessing the inimical forces, malicious actors, subversive proxies, and the facilitators of Pakistan’s external and internal adversaries, particularly those active in Balochistan and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, the forum deliberated on a range of measures to neutralize them. The forum reaffirmed that the Pakistan Army, with the unwavering support of the people, would not allow the reversal of hard-earned successes against terrorism.
In a show of solidarity with the people of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, who continue to suffer gross human rights violations, the forum honored the martyrs of the Freedom Movement. The blatant continued violence and genocide of Palestinians by Israel was also condemned in the strongest terms.
The forum expressed confidence in the operational preparedness and readiness of the Pakistan Army and vowed to continue to uphold the standards in pursuit of professional excellence. The participants also offered fateha and paid profound tribute to the ultimate sacrifices made by the shuhada of the armed forces, law enforcement agencies, and citizens who have laid down their lives in Balochistan and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa in pursuit of peace and stability of Pakistan.
