The 271st Corps Commanders’ Conference on Thursday reasserted the imperative need to take decisive and holistic actions against all India-backed and –sponsored proxies.
Chaired by Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Field Marshal Asim Munir, the forum offered Fateha for the martyrs of recent terrorist attacks by Indian sponsored proxies. In a statement, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said the participants took stock of recent successes against terrorist proxies, resolving that the blood of shuhada would not go waste and the safety and security of the people of Pakistan remained the topmost priority for the Armed Forces of Pakistan.
The participants further noted that following its manifest defeat in direct aggression against Pakistan after the Pahalgam attack, India was now doubling down to further its nefarious agenda through its proxies of Fitna al-Khawarij and Fitna al-Hindustan.
Addressing the gathering, the Army chief shared details of Pakistan’s proactive and successful diplomatic maneuver, including recent visits to Iran, Türkiye, Azerbaijan, Saudi Arabia and the U.A.E., where the Field Marshal had accompanied Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. The forum was also briefed on the Army chief’s recent visit to the U.S., where his meetings with top-tier leadership afforded an opportunity to share Pakistan’s objective perspective on bilateral, regional and extra-regional developments.
The CCC conducted a holistic review of the prevailing internal and external security dynamics, with particular emphasis on the recent developments in Middle East and Iran and growing propensity for “use of force” as a preferred policy tool, noting this warranted persistent development of self-reliant capabilities as well as national unity and resolve.
The COAS also took note of the Indian Army’s baseless insinuations to offset its comprehensive defeat. “Invoking third parties in what is unmistakably a bilateral military confrontation reflects a disingenuous attempt at bloc politics aimed at falsely projecting India’s self-assigned role as a net security provider to accrue benefits in a region that is visibly growing disillusioned with Indian hegemonic ambitions and Hindutva driven extremism,” he was quoted as saying by the military’s media wing.
The forum was briefed on the Pakistan’s Army’s ongoing drive with quick adaptation towards evolving threat spectrum and changing character of war. The Army chief appreciated the leadership of Pakistan Navy and Pakistan Air Force for further strengthening tri-services synergy.
In his concluding remarks, Field Marshal Munir expressed full confidence in the operational readiness of the Pakistan Army against complete threat spectrum.
