DG ISPR Press Conference - 19 December 2019

RAWALPINDI: DG ISPR Major General Asif Ghafoor held a press conference today, 19 December 2019. He said the reservations which we held proved to be right after today’s detailed judgment in the case against General Pervaiz Musharraf.

He said today’s verdict particularly the worlds used in it are against humanity, religion, and tradition.

He said Pakistan Army is an organized institute, we are under oath to sacrifice our lives to protect and defend our country. We have practically proved it in the last twenty years.

Pakistan Army and Pakistan Airforce have proved what non-other forces in the world have been able to do.

No other country or any forces have achieved what the Pakistan Army has achieved with the support of the people of Pakistan.

In my previous conferences, I have always spoken about the nature and character of war. Fighting conventional war to sub-conventional war today we are fighting a hybrid war.

We understand the changing nature and character of war. In this situation, we very well understand the current design and what the enemy wants.

Being an important institute of the country we have complete visibility of how external force has been trying to weaken Pakistan, and in the same way, we understand what could be the external dangers for Pakistan.

In the current situation, some external and internal forces trying to take advantage of the situation want to created unrest among us. This is how they are dreaming of defeating Pakistan. Which will never happen.

If we are aware of the threats than our response is in place.

If we were able to face external threats and internal terrorism then we also understand the current design of the country’s enemies and will face those as well.

He said as the Army Chief said we have given many sacrifices for the stability of this country, we will never allow that to reverse under any condition. We will never step back.

We will fight both our external and internal enemies.

Pakistan Army is not just an institution, it is a family. We are the forces of this nation and we stand strong because of the support and confidence of our people. We know the countries dignity and also understand the honor and dignity of our institution. But for us, our country comes first.

If today our country needs sacrifice, performance, and unity of our institute then we will not let the enemies destroy the peace of this country.

We will defend the honor and dignity of our country as well as of the institute.

In the end, he requested the people of Pakistan to have faith in the Pakistan Army, we will never allow anyone to destabilize the country.
