– General Asim Munir Chairs 254th CCC to review security matters
-Army’s top brass resolves to squash terrorists ‘without any distinction’
-Wows to fulfill commitments as per Nation’s aspirations
RAWALPINDI: Pakistan Army’s top brass Wednesday resolved to uproot terrorism “without any distinction” as the country battles a fresh wave of insurgency, which has left many soldiers martyred and several others injured.
The resolve was reiterated at the 254th Corps Commanders Conference (CCC) in Rawalpindi, the first chaired by Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Asim Munir, who took up the charge as the military’s head last month.
At the conference, which took place from December 27-28, a comprehensive review of professional and organisational matters of the army was undertaken, according to a statement from the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
“It was resolved to fight against terrorists without any distinction and eliminate this menace as per the aspirations of the people of Pakistan,” the military’s media wing added.
The statement of the 254th corps commanders conference was brief and confined strictly to the professional matters of the army. This clearly suggests a new approach under Gen Asim.
Though no further details were available, it is understood the top brass discussed and reviewed the internal security with focus on the spike in terrorist attacks. –ISPR
