      <title>Govt to pay tribute to martyrs on May 9 as COAS likely to attend ceremony</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330360904/govt-to-pay-tribute-to-martyrs-on-may-9-as-coas-likely-to-attend-ceremony</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The federal government has decided to pay tribute to the martyrs on May 9 in a ceremony to be held at the Jinnah Convention Centre in Islambad. Chief of Army Staff General Asim Munir is likely to attend the event.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A special ceremony, to commemorate the event of May 9 when mobs vandalized memorials of the martyrs of Pakistan armed forces,  is meant to send a message to the masses.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif will also be there to tribute to the martyrs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The federal cabinet and parliament members will also participate in the ceremony, along with the families of the martyrs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A special session of the federal cabinet will also be held on Thursday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The approval of the government’s policy regarding May 9 will be given, and a session of the Sindh and Balochistan assemblies has also been requested for tomorrow.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On Tuesday, IG ISPR Major General Ahmed Sharif gave a detailed press briefing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He stated that the May 9 incident was not the military and is a matter of the entire country.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He emphasized that the culprits and their facilitators should be punished according to the law and the constitution, and investigations should be conducted under the judicial commission.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Last year, after the arrest of former Prime Minister Imran Khan on May 9, violent incidents were reported throughout the country.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mobs targeted military installations and staged protests and demonstrations at various locations across the country.&lt;/p&gt;
