While acknowledging the misled individuals manipulated by conspirators, General Munir asserted that those orchestrating the violence would face justice. “There can be no compromise with such nefarious elements,” he declared, citing clear evidence implicating the perpetrators.
Assuring the nation and the armed forces, General Munir vowed to uphold the sanctity of the state and the sacrifices of its defenders. He pledged that those responsible for the May 9 attacks would face the full force of the law.
In a symbolic gesture of resilience, General Munir inaugurated the Jinnah Library at the Lahore Garrison, honoring the legacy of Pakistan’s founding father amidst the wreckage left by destructive forces. He urged unity in rebuilding and reaffirming the nation’s values.
As Pakistan confronts this challenge to its unity, General Munir’s resolute stance echoes the sentiments of a nation determined to defend its sovereignty and uphold the principles of unity and resilience.
