Funeral prayers of Captain Muhammad Osama Bin Arshad, who was martyred in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s North Waziristan gun battle with terrorists, were offered at the Chaklala Garrison Rawalpindi on Tuesday, the military’s media wing said.

In a statement, the Inter-Services Public Relations said that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Defence Minister Khawaja Asif, Information Minister Attaullah Tarar, COAS General Asim Munir, a large number of serving and retired military officers, soldiers and relatives of Shaheed attended the funeral.

“These sacrifices reaffirm our resolve to defeat terrorism in all its forms for a peaceful and prosperous Pakistan,” PM Shehbaz said.

“The nation stands resolute against these foreign-abetted terrorists and their facilitators and these adversaries of Pakistan will be comprehensively defeated through a multi-domain strategy based on a whole-of-the-system approach, InshAllah.”

The martyred soldier would be buried at his native home town where he would be laid to rest with full military honours.
