Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir said on Wednesday that respect and strength are gained through effort and knowledge, not through division.
Addressing the National Ulema-Mashaikh Conference, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir said that there is a deep connection between the Riyasat-e-Tayyaba and the state of Pakistan, and that the defence partnership is historic.
Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir said that Allah Almighty granted Pakistan the honour of being the Guardian of the Two Holy Mosques among all Muslim nations. When a nation abandons knowledge and the pen, discord and strife take root. Terrorism is not Pakistan’s disposition but India’s. We do not strike the enemies from hiding but challenge them openly."
CDF Asim Munir said: "In an Islamic state, no one other than the state may pronounce a call to jihad. In the Battle of Truth, success was gained through the help of Allah Almighty. The scholars must keep the nation united and broaden its outlook."
