Army calls for tightening 'noose of law' around May 9 'planners, masterminds'
2023-06-08
[GEO.TV] The formation commanders of the Pakistain Army on Wednesday called for a tightening of the "noose of law" "around the planners and criminal masterminds" that launched a "rebellion against the state and state institutions", a statement issued by the military’s media wing said.

"It has been further stressed that, while the legal trials of perpetrators and instigators have commenced, it is time that the noose of law is also tightened around the planners and criminal masterminds who mounted the hate-ripened and politically driven rebellion against the state and state institutions to achieve their nefarious design of creating chaos in the country," the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said.

The statement was issued after Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Asim Munir presided over the 81st Formation Commanders Conference at the General Headquarters (GHQ) in Rawalpindi.

The meeting was attended by corps commanders, principal staff officers and all formation commanders of the army.

The top commanders while condemning the May 9 attacks reiterated their "firm resolve" that the desecrators of deaders monuments, Jinnah House and attackers of military installations would "certainly be brought to justice speedily under the Pakistain Army Act and Official Secret Act which are the derivatives of the Constitution of Pakistain".

"In this regard, efforts to create distortions and attempts to take refuge behind imaginary and mirage Human Rights Violations to create smoke screen for hiding the ugly faces of all involved, are absolutely futile and do not stand the abundantly collected irrefutable evidences," said the commanders.

They also stressed that "endeavours by any quarter to create obstructions and stymie the conclusive defeat of ill design of inimical forces will be dealt with iron hands".
