The army chief, General Syed Asim Munir, has said there is an "organized illegal spectrum" behind the ongoing acts of terrorism in the country and that there are elements that start spreading false propaganda as soon as the state takes action against terror.
"This illegal spectrum has the backing of certain elements. Whenever, the state takes an action against terrorism, we hear their false narratives," General Munir said while speaking to students during his recent visit to Bahawalpur.
On Saturday, the army chief visited Bahawalpur Cantonment where he was apprised about operational preparedness and training aspects of Bahawalpur Corps.
While addressing officers and troops, he commended their unwavering dedication, high morale, and combat readiness, according to a statement issued by the military's media wing the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
He said rigorous training remains the cornerstone of a soldier's professional development and must continue to be the defining attribute of the Pakistan Army in overcoming the challenges of modern warfare.
The COAS on Saturday also inaugurated the CMH Institute of Medical Sciences (CIMS), Innovista Cholistan and Integrated Combat Simulator Arena; pioneering initiatives aimed at advancing medical education, Information Technology and combat readiness.
While at CIMS, he engaged with students from various universities across Bahawalpur, underscoring the army's commitment to nurturing the nation's youth.
The COAS encouraged students to pursue academic excellence with dedication and equip themselves with the skills necessary to contribute meaningfully to national development.
He lauded the pivotal role of the youth in shaping Pakistan's future and reaffirmed the Army's support for initiatives that empower young talent. Earlier, upon his arrival, the COAS was received by the Commander Bahawalpur Corps.
