If any officer puts politics before the state, he will have to answer. Those who now talk about military courts were themselves their advocates.

DG ISPR said that in addition, two suicide bombers from Afghanistan were also arrested and the terrorist plan was foiled. These Afghan bombers included Insafullah and Ruhullah. Suicide bomber Adila, who was arrested from Balochistan, revealed how terrorists are indoctrinating innocent children and making them commit terrorism. He said that 383 officers and soldiers were martyred during counter-terrorism operations in 2024. The entire nation pays tribute and salutes to these brave sons who sacrificed their precious lives for the country for the security and peace of the country. This war will continue, God willing, until the last terrorist and Khawarij are eliminated.

He said that we are aware of the threats from India on the eastern border, the steps that India is taking to monopolize its territory in the region, Pakistan's civil and military leadership is well aware of this, India has violated the ceasefire on a small scale several times this year, in which 25 ceasefire violations, 564 other and 161 aerial violations were committed, several false flag operations were also carried out, which were aimed at influencing India's internal politics.
He said that the Pakistan Army is capable of giving a befitting reply to any Indian aggression on the Line of Control, the Pakistan Army is ready to make every sacrifice for the sovereignty and security of Pakistan. The DG ISPR said that the whole world is aware of the atrocities being committed against the people in Indian-occupied Kashmir, Kashmiri youth are being martyred by Indian forces in operations, violence against the Kashmiri people is condemnable, the Indian Supreme Court violated international laws by upholding Article 370 last year, our principled position is that we stand with the oppressed people of occupied Kashmir and will continue to support the Kashmiris in principle, morally and politically at every forum. He said that at present, the process of crushing separatist movements through force is going on in many states of India, Sikh leaders are being killed abroad without trial, minorities, especially Muslims and Christians, are being massacred, mosques and churches are being targeted by Hindu extremists, this series of religious oppression is an open question for international and human rights institutions. DG ISPR said that the Pakistan Army remains at the forefront of serving the people during natural disasters and every difficult time. Projects in many sectors are completed with the support of the government. In 2024, the Pakistan Army completed 6,500 programs in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to solve the problems of local people. Local students were given admission in Army Public Schools and Cadet Colleges under the Chief of Army Staff Education Program. Youth were recruited into the forces. Many infrastructure restoration projects were completed, and work is underway on a few.
Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said that during the floods, hundreds of medical camps were set up in Pakhtunkhwa, and all possible support was provided to the victims. He said that similarly, relief programs are ongoing in Balochistan. The rate of socio-economic projects in Balochistan is higher than other provinces, so that the ongoing negative propaganda regarding Balochistan can be broken. Many important projects were completed in Balochistan with the cooperation of the United Arab Emirates and China, for which we are grateful to them. Some projects are also underway. The Kachhi Canal project in Balochistan is irrigating 65,000 kanals of land. DG ISPR said that more than 100 kilometers of railway track between Sibi and Harnai was repaired and opened after 17 years. With the special attention of the Army Chief, work is underway on many projects including health, education, water supply in Gwadar. The completion of the Chaman Master Plan is an important milestone. A modern system is being installed to facilitate trade at Chaman and Torkham borders, after which the clearance time will be further reduced. 90 percent of the work has been completed. This project will be completed in 3 months.
DG ISPR said that the Safe City Project in Quetta, Joint Assistant Markets have been established on the Pak-Afghan border. He said that the Pakistan Army is famous all over the world for its rigorous training, the element of passion and martyrdom is an important component in our training, the aim of this training is to combat traditional and non-traditional threats, the Pakistan Army is one of the few forces in the world whose officers lead operations forward, the motto of our training is ‘We train as we fight, we fight as we train.’ DG ISPR said that due to the orders of the Army Chief regarding training, training exercises are being conducted with frequency, we are in the second year of the three-year program, in which formation level exercises are being conducted, army level exercises will be conducted next year, more than 183 units of the army participated in the exercises in 2024, almost the same number will participate in combat exercises in 2025.
DG ISPR said that the entire nation has to fight against the scourge of terrorism together with the institutions, a safe Pakistan is a strong Pakistan, terrorism will end when there is justice, education, health and good governance. He said that terrorism will end when the nexus of terrorism and crime ends, there is an illegal spectrum worth billions of rupees in Pakistan, of which fake news is a part.
Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said that in 2021, who was stubborn to settle them through talks, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is paying the price for this stubbornness of talks, instead of making a narrative on it, focus on good governance in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. He said that the back of the Khawarij was broken, so on whose decision was they settled by winning the talks, if every such problem had been solved through talks, there would have been no wars and aggression in the world, the whole nation pays the price for such behavior.
On the question of the role of the establishment in the negotiations of political parties, the DG ISPR said that the Pakistan Army has an official and professional relationship with every government. It is not appropriate to give this relationship a political color. All political parties and leaders are respectable. It is welcome that politicians sit together and resolve their issues and not adopt an anarchic approach.
He said that all political parties and political leadership are respectable for us. No political leader's desire for power is greater than Pakistan. The Pakistan Army spokesperson said that there was a coordinated conspiracy and planning behind May 9. It is necessary to bring the elements involved in this planning and conspiracy to justice. In a military trial, the accused gets legal rights, Faiz Hameed also gets them. If any officer puts politics before the state, he will have to answer. We saw the continuation of May 9 in November 2024.
On the question of the role of the army in the sit-in in November and the deaths that occurred, the DG ISPR said that on December 1, the Ministry of Interior had issued a detailed statement in this regard. The statement said that the army was not deployed to control the violent crowd, the deployment of the army was limited to the red zone only, while the armed guards of the political leadership and the people in the crowd had firearms. The protesters had weapons, which was also seen on the media and social media. Fake news was resorted to to divert attention from the meaningless commotion.
He said that the army is neither opposed nor supportive of any particular political party or ideology, the thought behind the November 26 conspiracy is political terrorism, the lie of the martyrdom of thousands of workers was spread on November 26, they are confident that they can sell any lie. The DG ISPR once again clarified that May 9 is not the case of the Pakistani army but of the people of Pakistan, there should be no more politics on the issue of terrorism, because they did not do good governance, so they should politicize it, there is no legal justification for the incidents related to May 9, they cannot defend it, those who now talk about military courts were themselves their advocates. He said that they were making a narrative, the army itself carried out the attacks, their narrative was that May 9 was done by the people of the agencies, if we punish our servants, the anarchists should be happy, the anti-terrorism court should also bring the cases related to May 9 to justice. Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said that this fake news is an obstacle in the way of breaking the spectrum, the security agencies are standing against this illegal spectrum, the elite is also standing with the illegal spectrum, more than 800,000 illegal Afghans have been sent back, steps are also being taken to secure the country's digital borders, a false and artificial narrative of a sense of deprivation is being created, talks and contact have been going on with the Afghan interim government for 2 years, we are telling them the same thing that both countries are brotherly countries. According to a private TV, the DG ISPR said that the control of anarchic politics is not with the political leaders inside the country, people outside the country have control over this anarchic politics. How can human rights arrangements be brought to light in the world? These organizations will not see Gaza and Palestine. The organizations that are raising an outcry over human rights should run such campaigns on Gaza and Kashmir.
