General Asim Munir, the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), said on Monday that May 25 would be recognized nationwide as “Pakistan Martyrs Day” and said that the recent assaults on military monuments and institutions were “intolerable.”
In an event conducted at the General Headquarters in Rawalpindi to commemorate the fallen, the army commander made these statements, according to a news release from the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
A significant number of senior military commanders and the families of the martyrs attended the event when Gen. Munir presented military decorations to the Pakistan Army officers and soldiers for their “bravery and outstanding service to the nation during operations.”
“Unquestionably, we are living in a free atmosphere due to the martyrs’ sense of duty and great sacrifices,” the COAS was cited by the military’s media arm.
“The services provided by ghazis and the sacrifices made by martyrs are our greatest pride and asset.”
According to Gen. Munir, the Pakistan Army is an organization that never forgot about its members or their families, adding, “and our relationship as a family is a proud and exemplary one.”
He continued by saying that all Pakistan Army soldiers and officers prioritize their work and obligations “regardless of regional, linguistic, and political prejudices and distinctions.”
The COAS emphasized, “A strong army guarantees the security and unity of the country.” Along with expressing sorrow about the recent assaults on military monuments and facilities during the unrest on May 9, he called the conduct “intolerable.”
According to the ISPR, 22 officers and jawans were given Tamgha-e-Basalat, while 51 relatives of victims were given Sitara-e-Imtiaz (military). Two officers received the Special Medal of the United Nations.
May 9 and beyond
In the Al Qadir Trust case, Imran was apprehended by the National Accountability Bureau on May 9 at the Islamabad High Court with the assistance of the paramilitary Rangers. This development provoked nationwide demonstrations amid violent and vandalized occurrences.
The military released three comments about the events of May 9 in the wake of the incident. The first described the day as a “dark chapter” in the history of the nation.
The army vowed to prosecute any “planners, abetters, instigators and executors of [the] vandalism” in its second statement, released earlier this month, and said that it “will not tolerate any further attempt of violating the sanctity and security of its installations or vandalism.”
In a harsher move, the highest-ranking military officials pledged on May 16 to prosecute the arsonists who assaulted the military and civilian institutions in accordance with applicable laws, including the Official Secrets Act and the Pakistan Army Act.
At a special Corps Commanders Conference, the decision was made to denounce the “incidents against military installations and public/private properties that were politically motivated and instigated.”
Under the presidency of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, the National Security Committee, the top forum for cooperation on security matters, met last week and reiterated the promise to prosecute individuals responsible for the violence on May 9 under army rules.
In a statement released over the weekend, the army most recently stated that, in accordance with established legal procedures derived from the constitution, the trial process against the planners, instigators, abettors, and perpetrators involved in the May 9 tragedy has begun under the Pakistan Army Act and the Official Secrets Act.
