Indian leadership's statements on Gilgit Baltistan, AJK are highly irresponsible: COAS Asim Munir

RAWALPINDI (92 News) - Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Syed Asim Munir visited frontline troops in Rakhchikri Sector of Line of Control (LOC) on Saturday.

According to a press release issued by the ISPR, the COAS was briefed on latest situation along LOC and operational preparedness of the formation. The COAS interacted with officers and soldiers, appreciated their high morale, professional competence and combat readiness while performing their duties in challenging conditions.

General Asim Munir said: "We have noticed highly irresponsible statements from Indian leadership on Gilgit Baltistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir recently. Let me make it categorically clear, Pakistan's armed forces are ever ready, not only to defend every inch of our motherland, but to take the fight back to the enemy, if ever, war is imposed on us."

He said that any misconception resulting into a misadventure will always be met with full might of the armed forces backed by a resilient nation. "India will never be able to achieve its nefarious designs. The world must ensure justice and deliver what is promised to the Kashmiri people as per UN resolutions," the COAS concluded.

Earlier on arrival, Corps Commander Rawalpindi Lieutenant General Shahid Imtiaz received the COAS.
