Revealing details of actions taken against Army officials following the May 9 riots on Monday, Director General of the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Maj-Gen Ahmad Sharif Chaudhry said that three officials including a Lt-Gen have been fired, whereas disciplinary proceedings against other officers, including three major generals and seven brigadiers, have been completed.
The spokesperson said that the events of May 9 were "undoubtedly" a conspiracy against Pakistan and one which was being planned for months.
The military spokesperson stated that the purpose of addressing the media today was to provide "facts" regarding the events of May 9. Riots broke out after the arrest of the PTI chief, with rioters targetting military facilities and monuments dedicated to the martyrs.
During the press conference, Maj Gen Sharif also played a video montage with testimonies from family members of the martyrs.
"The incident of May 9 is extremely disappointing, condemnable and a black chapter in the history of our country," said the spokesperson and added that what the enemies of the country could not achieve in 76 years, some "miscreants and their facilitators did".
He also said that the incident was “undoubtedly a conspiracy against Pakistan”. "The events of May 9 will neither be forgotten nor will planners and facilitators of it be forgiven."
"The investigation carried out till now has proven that May 9 was being planned for the past several months," elaborated the major-general and added that "under this planning, first a conducive environment was created and people were instigated and provoked against the army".
He further said a "narrative based on lies and exaggeration was spread on social media inside and outside the country" and authorities have obtained evidence for the same.
DG ISPR further said that the events of May 9 created a huge amount of grief and anger among the heirs of the martyrs and veterans of the armed forces. He maintained that the armed forces were laying martyrs to rest every day while operations continue against terrorists.
“While the Pakistan Army is giving these sacrifices, on the other hand, unfortunately, filthy propaganda was done on the basis of a false narrative for nefarious political objectives.”
'Deliberate accountability process'
"The decisions taken by the Pakistan Army reflect unity and clarity. After May 9, the press release issued on May 15 regarding the Special Core Commanders Conference, the message given on Martyrs Day on May 25 and the press release issued on June 7 of the 81st Formation Commanders’ Conference stand as evidence that the military leadership and the Pakistan Army are both aware of those involved in May 9 riots."
"All those responsible and associated with May 9 incidents will be punished under the Constitution of Pakistan and under the law regardless of their affiliation with any institution, political party, or any individual," he added.
Revealing details regarding punishments meted out to military officers who failed in their duties on May 9, Maj-Gen Sharif said one three-star officer - a lieutenant general - has been terminated from service.
"From punishments handed out, you may believe that the military does not discriminate when holding accountable its own." He added that inquiry commissions, headed by major-general rank officers, were carried out following the events of May 9.
"Following a deliberate accountability process, disciplinary proceedings were initiated against those who failed to maintain the security and honour of military garrisons, installations, Jinnah House and General Headquarters."
"Three officers, including a lieutenant-general, have been fired and disciplinary proceedings against other officers, including three major generals and seven brigadiers, have been completed."
Referring to trials in military courts, Sharif said those being tried will have the right of appeal in the apex court. "As of now, cases under the Army Act are under military court, which were already in existence. At least 102 persons are under trial and this process is currently ongoing."
"There are 17 standing courts currently operational in the country. Military courts have been operational under the Army Act since before May 9. Based on evidence and the law, civil courts referred these 102 cases to military courts. All of these accused have complete rights under the law, including appointing civil lawyers and the right to appeal before the high courts and the Supreme Court. The Army Act has been a part of the Constitution of Pakistan and the law for several decades. Several cases have been resolved under this Act under the law," stated the military spokesperson.
Sharif further said that the International Court of Justice has also validated the due process carried out by military courts after a thorough probe.
"Anyone may build a false narrative [against military courts] but they cannot deny these facts."
"This information should assure you that the self-accountability within the Pakistan Army is carried out without discrimination. The higher the rank, the higher the responsibility is expected. Let me inform you that when it comes to accountability by the army, there is no distinction held based on rank or position in society."
He reiterated that everyone who was involved in the events of May 9 will be held accountable. "A granddaughter of a retired four-star general and the son-in-law of another four-star general are also in military custody," said DG ISPR.
Answering a question if the military was somehow involved in the events of May 9 itself, the spokesperson said "CCTV footage, audio recordings and statements given by suspected involved persons make apparent that army installations were targeted and attacked on May 9 under a devised plan".
"I ask you, did the Pakistan Army build this narrative against itself? Within hours of being arrested, over 200 military installations were attacked across the country."
The respect and integrity of the Pakistan Army have been attacked under a disgusting plan but despite this, security forces carried out major and minor intelligence-based operations against 13,619 terrorists and their facilitators this year. As many as 1,132 terrorists were sent on their way to hell or arrested during these operations, said Maj Gen Sharif.
