What India calls 'terrorism' is a legal struggle for rights: field marshal
Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir has said that Indiaās portrayal of the Kashmiri freedom movement as terrorism is misleading, describing it instead as a legitimate and lawful struggle recognised under international law.
āWhat India labels as terrorism is, in fact, a legitimate and lawful struggle for freedom, recognised by international law,ā said Field Marshal Asim Munir.
Speaking at a commissioning parade held at the Pakistan Naval Academy on Saturday, the army chief urged the nation to remember the sacrifices of the Kashmiri people resisting Indiaās āillegal occupationā of Jammu and Kashmir.
āAt such a time, we must not forget the sacrifices of our Kashmiri brothers who are struggling against Indian occupation,ā he said.

He accused India of deliberately escalating regional tensions just as Pakistan nears success in its fight against terrorism. Munir reaffirmed Pakistanās resolve to eliminate terrorism.
āWe will take our fight against terrorism to its logical conclusion and rid the country of this menace once and for all,ā he declared.
Reiterating Pakistanās longstanding stance on Kashmir, the army chief said, āPakistan strongly supports a fair and peaceful solution to the Kashmir issue in line with UN resolutions and the aspirations of the Kashmiri people.ā
He paid tribute to all martyrs who have laid down their lives in Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir for the cause of freedom, and saluted the courage of those who continue the struggle.
COAS asserted that Indiaās oppressive tactics cannot break the will of the Kashmiri people. Pakistan will continue to offer unwavering political, moral, and diplomatic support to Kashmiris.
Quoting from Surah Al-Imran, verse 54 "They plotted, and Allah also planned, and Allah is the best of plannersā.
He reminded the global community that lasting peace in South Asia cannot be achieved without a just and peaceful solution to the Kashmir dispute.
He said that enemies of Pakistan are continuously trying to hinder the nationās development. However, he affirmed that Pakistan is steadily moving toward a brighter and prosperous future, undeterred by external threats or challenges.
According to a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), grand commissioning parade reflecting rich naval traditions was held at the Pakistan Naval Academy, Karachi, marking the commissioning of the 123rd Midshipmen and 31st Short Service Commission (SSC) Course.
