Muzaffarabad: Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Syed Asim Munir visited Muzaffarabad along with interim Prime Minister Anwaar Haq Kakar and Prime Minister of Azad Jammu and Kashmir on Kashmir Solidarity Day.

A press release issued by Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) stated that COAS General Asim Munir visited areas along Line of Control and interacted with troops deployed on front lines in Sarian area.

Country’s top civil and military leaders visited Jammu and Kashmir Monument Muzaffarabad, where they laid floral wreaths at Martyrs’ Monument and paid rich tribute to supreme sacrifices of shuhada.

PM and COAS acknowledged that fortitude, resilience and unwavering faith of Kashmiris in face of unabated brutality of Indian occupation forces in IIOJK had been exemplary.

Pakistani leadership said brewing humanitarian and security crises in Indian Occupied Kashmir seriously threatens regional peace and stability.

Pakistan would always stand with Kashmiris in their just struggle for inalienable right to self-determination in light of UNSC resolutions.

ISPR said New Delhi is attempting to change demography of Illegally Occupied Kashmir through illegal administrative and unilaterally imposed draconian laws and security clampdowns.

It said such machinations cannot suppress will and yearning of Kashmiri people to attain their legitimate objectives. Gen Asim Munir was briefed about latest situation along Line of Control and appreciated operational readiness, high morale and effective response of troops to Indian CFVs.

In his address to troops, COAS said any aggression or violation of territorial sovereignty of Pakistan will be responded with full national resolve and military might.

He said Pakistan Army is well versed with full threat spectrum and is perpetually ready to respond effectively. Top General mentioned Indian state sponsored terrorism in Pakistan which now extended to heinous targeting of individual Pakistani citizens on our soil.

He added that such callous disregard for international law and norms of international system was becoming routine occurrence and India was now being called out openly by many countries in world, exposing her sham credentials. Earlier on arrival, Chief of Army Staff was received by Commander Rawalpindi Corps.
