As the country celebrates Eid ul Adha, Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Asim Munir emphasized the ultimate sacrifices made by martyrs in defending Pakistan. During his visit to the Line of Control (LoC) in the Haji Pir sector, General Munir stated, “As soldiers, we take pride in celebrating such festivities away from our homes and loved ones while on duty, ensuring the security of our country and fellow citizens.”
According to an Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) statement, the army chief offered Eid prayers with officers and soldiers at the frontline, praying for Pakistan’s peace and prosperity. He praised the soldiers’ dedication, high morale, and commitment to defending the motherland.
Commenting on the situation in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), General Munir reiterated Pakistan’s principled stance in alignment with United Nations resolutions. He condemned India’s ongoing oppression and brutalities against Kashmiris, noting that India attempts to mask its aggression with false propaganda and provocations against Pakistan.
“Pakistan has always supported peace and stability in the region; however, any provocation or violation of Pakistan’s territorial sovereignty will be met with a swift and resolute response, with the full support of the nation,” the army chief added.
