In an address at the historic “Pakistan National Youth Conference” held at the Jinnah Convention Center in Islamabad, Army Chief General Syed Asim Munir emphasized that Pakistan remains steadfast in protecting its sovereignty. Addressing the gathering of aspiring youth, he expressed his delight in speaking to the future leaders of Pakistan, referring to them as the architects and Shaheen (eagles) of Iqbal.
General Munir underscored that the creation of Pakistan was rooted in the distinct religious, cultural, and civilizational differences with Hindus. He urged the youth to resist adopting Western culture and civilization, encouraging them to have unwavering confidence in their country, nation, culture, and themselves. According to him, the youth play a crucial role as the custodians of the bright traditions and dreams envisioned by Iqbal and Quaid.
The Army Chief highlighted the importance of national cooperation in the fight against terrorism, emphasizing the need for social media research to counteract propaganda aimed at spreading uncertainty and chaos. Quoting from the Holy Quran, he reminded the audience of the directive to investigate news brought by wrongdoers.
Drawing parallels between the establishment of Pakistan and the State of Tayyaba, General Munir pointed out their shared foundation on the word. He acknowledged Pakistan’s abundant blessings, including vast mineral resources, agricultural wealth, and a young and capable workforce.
Expressing gratitude for Allah’s support during challenging times, the Army Chief assured that the Pakistani forces are always prepared to face various threats and conspiracies. He asserted the nation’s commitment to not compromise on its sovereignty and urged everyone to maintain faith in the bright future of Pakistan while upholding the legacy of their ancestors.
