Army Chief Lauds Role of Pakistani Women
The Chief of Army Staff acknowledged the vital role Pakistani women are playing in all walks of life. “Since independence, Pakistani women have distinguished themselves at home and abroad, by virtue of their talent, tenacity, and commitment,” the COAS said. The Army Chief highlighted that women are an invaluable part of Pakistan’s society, and their respect is enshrined in our religion as well as our social ethos, ISPR stated.
COAS also underscored the importance of social harmony and the need for nationwide consensus on curbing intolerance. He emphasized the rule of law and advised against taking the law into one’s hands when legal avenues are available for addressing concerns and grievances. Noting that arbitrary actions on the basis of heresy undermine the outlook of society, COAS underlined Islam’s eternal message of kindness and benevolence.
The Army Chief appreciated the sacrifices rendered by law enforcement agencies to ensure the safety and security of Pakistan’s citizens.
