COAS cautions against insidious threat of fake news, propaganda

Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Syed Asim Munir has cautioned against the insidious threat of fake news and propaganda being perpetrated by inimical elements to weaken the bond between the people of Pakistan and Armed Forces, reassuring that the unwavering support of the nation, including army veterans, will fail all such futile efforts. The COAS hosted a reception in honour of Pakistan Army veterans on the Independence Day that united a multitude of retired army officers and soldiers. The event served as a testament to the unbreakable bond between the Pakistan Army and its veterans, united in their commitment to the nation’s prosperity and security, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said.

While talking to Pakistan Army veterans, General Asim Munir emphasized the importance of unity and resilience in the face of challenges, urging veterans to continue playing a vital role in Pakistan’s development. The COAS paid tribute to the contributions of retired personnel, lauding their role in shaping the nation’s history, said the ISPR.

The veterans expressed faith and confidence in the leadership of the Pakistan Army, pledging their support in combating internal and external security challenges. Retired army chiefs General Ashfaq Parvez Kiyani and General Raheel Sharif, officers and soldiers attended the event.

What is the fake propaganda? Is it fake to say that you are holding 250mn hostage? is it fake to say that you have no support and despite all your best efforts you got smashed in the elections? is it fake to say that law and Justice dont exist as 1000s of people are in prison without trial or on fake charges, others have been kidnapped and many have been killed? is it fake to say that your puppets couldnt win 17 seats in a one horse race? What is the fake propaganda?

Everything becomes sad when the populist part is being burried.

At least stuff about being some Liberal or democrat is buried forever. Bilawal and maryam the future of the mafia can even walk outside without a 1000 police to arrest people that see them as puppets.

Shariah, Constitution shirkers aren't Pakistanis: COAS​

Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Syed Asim Munir on Thursday urged Ulema and Mashaikh (religious scholars) to promote tolerance and unity in society to fight extremism.

Addressing the National Ulema Convention, the COAS said the Pakistan Army was working hard to eradicate strife from the nation, in keeping with divine commandments, as such discord is considered a grave sin against Allah.

He said, "We do not consider those as Pakistanis, who do not follow Shariah and the Constitution." The religious scholars should bring back moderation in society and reject dissension, he added.

The western civilization and way of life was not the nation's ideal, it should be proud of its own civilization, he said and mentioned verses from Allama Dr Muhammad Iqbal's poetry, highlighting that the Ummah stands apart from Western nations, as followers of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) are a special and distinguished community.

The COAS noted that the Pakhtun brothers and the people of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa had rendered great sacrifices in the war against terrorism and the armed forces along with the nation stand with them appreciating their efforts.

For more than 40 years, he said Pakistan has hosted millions of Afghan refugees, adding, "We are explaining to them not to oppose their neighbour, brotherly Islamic country and longtime friend for the sake of subversive Kharijite (referring to TTP)."

He said that the Kharijites represented a great strife or fitnah in society as Allama Iqbal said: "Education may be a fitna if it leads you away from Allah Almighty. Likewise, property, children, and estates can become temptations or strife if they divert you from justice.

He said, "We ask people to opt for peaceful protest for their demands."

Speaking about extremism, the COAS said, "Allah says that there is no compulsion in religion. Crime and smuggling mafias are supporting terrorism." The anarchy was spread through social media, he added.

The army chief said, "No one has the courage to desecrate the glory of the Holy Prophet (SAW). If someone tries to create anarchy in Pakistan, by God, we will stand against him."

He underscored that no power in the world could harm Pakistan because this country was built to last.

"Millions of Asim Munirs, millions of politicians and millions of scholars are sacrificed for Pakistan because the country is more important to us," he said. "If you want to know the importance of the state, ask Iraq, Syria and Libya," he added.

He recalled that inimical elements used to claim that they had dumped the two-nation theory into the Bay of Bengal, and questioned rhetorically, "where are they today?"

The army chief said, "Partition of Kashmir is an incomplete agenda of Indo-Pak. My heart cries out over the atrocities in Palestine and Gaza. We should draw a lesson from Palestine that we have to protect ourselves and make Pakistan strong."

In his address, the Chief of the Army Staff stated, "We stand united and resolute in our commitment to eradicate terrorism from our soil. We will not tolerate extremism, violence, or fear-mongering."

He condemned "twisted ideologies that seek to divide us, senseless killings that aim to intimidate us, and inhumane tactics employed by Fitna Al Khawarij (FAK) that attempt to break our spirit."

He emphasized, "Let us strive for a Pakistan where everyone can thrive in peace and prosperity. We are one nation, one people, and together we can achieve greatness."

He acknowledged the vital role of Ulema in promoting peace, tolerance, and inclusivity, countering extremist narratives, and educating society to reject hate and violence.

@Major
According to this guy, these guys arent Muslims. Because they have destroyed the PK constitution( no elections, threatening the independence of the SC and disobeying its orders, kidnapping people and killing others, and dont believe in the Shariah that he wants. Are you happy with that?

It’s exhausting talking to someone with low intelligence who doesn’t have any capacity to be logical. It’s like talking to a school kid who’s always like “ha ha you suck”. These people don’t really have a future and are eventually hired by the likes of pmln and ppp to spread bs on the internet for a tiny amount of money. I know someone in my family who’s like this.

But apparently @Major is "hot" on religious freedom and here is being accused of being a ghair Muslim because he supports people that have smashed the constitution, which the Mistry says makes a non Muslim. The fact that the Mistry himself is a munafiq and smashed the constitution with the theft of the mandate and kidnapping makes the whole thing even more bizarre. Let's see @Major explain. But he runs from these questions

State responsibility to protect public from social media’s negative implications, army chief says

Today’s statement was the latest in a long line of warnings from the army chief and the military about the dangers posed by social media.

Over the past couple of years, social media campaigns against the army have escalated, reflecting broader tensions within the country’s political and social fabric. The government, often in tandem with the military, has responded with stringent measures aimed at controlling the narrative and stifling dissent.

These measures have led to numerous arrests and legal actions against journalists and social media users accused of spreading “negative propaganda” about the military and the state, resulting in restricted internet access and bans on platforms like X.

In recent statements, the military took a harsh line against criticism on social media, with Gen Munir himself warning that it was being used as a tool to spread anarchy and false information targeting the armed forces.

The term ‘digital terrorism’ is increasingly being used by the military to describe the use of online spaces by its harshest critics — including PTI activists — whom it accuses of spreading falsehoods.

In the rest of his remarks today, the army chief said that only a strong relationship between the people, the government and the army guaranteed the country’s security and development.

“Those who were creating the narrative of Pakistan’s default, where are they today?” the army chief said.

He said the youth were the country’s “biggest and most valuable asset” and would not be allowed to “go to waste under any circumstances”.

Questioned about last month’s spate of tribal violence in Parachinar that left 49 dead, the army chief said the tribes should sit together and help end the various disputes between them.

“The people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa stood like an iron wall against terrorism along with the Pakistan Army for 22 years. I believe that God will grant us victory against terrorism,” the COAS said.

Digital terrorism and social media
In a wide-ranging speech at a parade held to mark Independence Day, the army chief had blamed foreign powers for a wave of ‘digital terrorism’, which he said aimed to create a gulf between state institutions and the people of Pakistan.

Calling anti-terror activities under the umbrella of vision ‘Azm-i-Istehkam’ the need of the hour, Gen Munir vowed that elements trying to create such rifts would only reap disappointment.

On August 8, he had warned that social media was being used as a tool to spread “anarchy”.

Earlier month, military spokesperson General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry had said that not enough was being done against “digital terrorism” under the law, allowing fake news and propaganda to spread in the country.

“It is the country’s law that has to control and curb digital terrorism [but] unfortunately, you can see that lies, propaganda — particularly on social media — fake news and doctored images continue to spread while confusion is created in the public’s mind,” he had said.

In May, the army had labelled the growing criticism directed towards it “digital terrorism” and declared a firm commitment to combat and defeat anti-military campaigns proliferating across online platforms.

Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Asim Munir on Friday reiterated the resolve of the security forces to “comprehensively defeat hostile terrorist nexus and eliminate activities in the illegal spectrum”, a statement from the military’s media wing said

According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), Gen Munir’s statement came during a visit to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Orakzai district today, where he met the troops that participated in recent counter-terrorism operations in the Tirah Valley and its surroundings.

During the visit, the army chief was given a comprehensive briefing on the overall security situation, ongoing intelligence-based counter-terrorism operations, and multi-prong measures undertaken to ensure stability in the merged districts.

“In his interaction with officers and troops, [the] COAS appreciated their high morale and readiness to give effective response against all types of threats,” the statement said.

“[The] COAS reiterated the resolve to comprehensively defeat hostile terrorist nexus and eliminate activities in the illegal spectrum.”

Per the statement, Gen Munir, while paying rich tribute to martyrs of the army and law enforcement agencies (LEAs), said, “The hard-earned peace achieved with nation’s great sacrifice would be maintained at all costs. [The] sacrifice of our martyrs strengthen our resolve to fight with utmost dedication and spirit of sacrifice.”

The army chief lauded the contributions being made by police and LEAs in KP and said that the Pakistan Army will continue to provide all-out support to KP Police and other LEAs in enabling them to perform their duties in newly merged districts.

He also emphasised the need for continued capacity building of the LEAs.

Meanwhile, the COAS also appreciated the support of the local population in assisting security forces, noting that their positive role is essential in sustaining peace in the area.

Pakistan has witnessed an uptick in terror activities in the past year, especially in KP and Balochistan after the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) ended its ceasefire with the government in November 2022.

According to an annual security report issued by the Centre for Research and Security Studies, Pakistan witnessed 1,524 violence-related fatalities and 1,463 injuries from 789 terror attacks and counter-terror operations in 2023 — marking a record six-year high.

KP and Balochistan were the primary centres of violence, accounting for over 90 per cent of all fatalities and 84pc of attacks, including incidents of terrorism and security forces operations.

Last month, security forces killed at least 25 militants in a series of intelligence-based operations (IBOs) in the Tirah Valley of Khyber district, while four soldiers have also embraced martyrdom.

According to the ISPR, these operations were based on “robust intelligence” and dealt significant blows to the TTP and its affiliates. It also mentioned that 11 militants were injured in the operations. Among those killed was a key militant leader, Abuzar alias Saddam.

“However, during the conduct of operations, four brave soldiers, having fought gallantly, paid the ultimate sacrifice and embraced Shahadat,”
the ISPR had said.
