ISLAMABAD: Paying tributes to the martyrs of the Peshawar police, who were killed in a suspected suicide attack at Police Lines on Monday, the army’s top brass vowed that perpetrators would be brought to justice.

The 255th Corps Commanders’ Conference was held at General Headquarters in Rawalpindi and was presided over by Chief of Army Staff General Syed Asim Munir, said a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).

The COAS said that such immoral and cowardly acts could not shake the resolve of the nation but rather reinvigorate determination to succeed in the ongoing war against terrorism with zero tolerance for any terrorist entity.

The statement said that the COAS directed all commanders to continue to focus on anti-terrorism operations in coordination with intelligence and law enforcement agencies with renewed resolve till the time we achieve sustainable peace.

Participants were briefed in detail about prevailing and emerging threats, the situation in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu Kashmir (IIOJK), and ongoing intelligence-based operations being undertaken by the army and Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) for breaking the nexus between terrorists and their support mechanism across the country.

The forum taking notice of human rights violations and Indian design to alter the demographics of IIOJK, reaffirmed the army’s commitment to Pakistan’s principal support to the indigenous freedom struggle of brave Kashmiri people as per relevant UN resolutions and aspirations of the people of the Kashmir.
