RAWALPINDI: Army Chief General Raheel Sharif on Saturday said that the Pakistan Army was fully capable of deterring and defeating aggression “across the entire spectrum of threat…yet, Pakistan persistently seeks peace in the region and beyond”.

Addressing a passing out parade at the Pakistan Military Academy in Kakul, the army chief said: “Let there be no doubt that any aggression against Pakistan will get a befitting response and no sacrifice will be too great in this sacred cause.”

"Lasting peace in the region will only come about with the fair and just resolution of the Kashmir issue; in accordance with the will of the Kashmiri people as enshrined in the UN resolutions.”

General Raheel said coercion and repression of Kashmiri people would not shake their confidence from ultimately exercising their freedom of choice which has been promised to them by the international community.

" It is Pakistan's firm belief that the determination of our Kashmiri brethren and collective conscience of the free world will bear fruit and their aspirations will eventually be realised,” he remarked.

"This quest for peace is our nation’s greatest strength. We desire regional stability and a relationship based on equality and mutual respect.”

Referring to the rapidly changing geo-political environment, the army chief said that globally asserting non-state actors have put Pakistan in the centre stage.

"In its wake, the situation has brought numerous challenges and opportunities for Pakistan and at the same time, this has put enormous burden of responsibility and deliverance on Pakistan Army,” General Raheel stated.

"Shying away from adversities is not in our nature; we have resolved to face these squarely,” he said.

The military chief said that the army was symbolic of national unity and hope — thriving on the aspirations of the people of Pakistan.

Referring to on going operation Zarb-i-Azb, General Raheel said it was not merely an operation, it was a concept, a resolve and a commitment to the nation.

“The commitment is to cleanse Pakistan of the scourge of terrorism once and for all. Pakistan Army is the cutting-edge of this resolve. A resolve that is currently evident in North Waziristan, where the military operation is delivering decisive results. Pakistan’s law enforcement agencies aided by intelligence agencies are also playing a commendable role in hunting down terrorists and their networks across the country,” he said.

He said that in view of the successes Pakistan was achieving, the displaced people of Fata would be able to return to their homes sooner than expected. On their return a new life of peace and prosperity shall take root Insha Allah (God willing).

However, the army chief said that in order to bring about lasting peace in Fata and in the country at large, cohesive, dedicated and timely involvement of all stakeholders and state institutions was essential.

On Afghanistan, he said that Pakistan sincerely prayed that the new political dispensation in the neighbouring country brought peace, stability and prosperity to its people and to the region at large.

He assured that Pakistan Army in its capacity would do everything to support the Afghan security forces in every possible manner.

"It is a proven fact that the surest way of realising this dream is through unequivocal commitment to true democratic values and rule of law. We stand for these virtues in letter and spirit and any reservations about our intent are not only misplaced but also detrimental for the country,” he said.

This issue will never get resolved through talks it will be eventually solved through war

NO!!! Kashmir is a issue for Pakistan's India hatred!!!

PA thinks anti-India hatred is the base to make Punjabis-Sindhis-Pashtuns united where there is no other base to unite them.

How many wars have been fought for kashmir? Any progress? Generations are passing off..still no change. Did any other country launch these many wars to claim a territory? Actually, when was there no war in that region? India can sustain...how about pakistan? Talking about kashmir, you launched a massive offensive on your other border. What does it say? Still if you think you can wage a war against India and take back kashmir, you would be the most unintelligent person on this planet. If I say India will launch a war against pakistan and liberate baluchistan, what would be your reaction? Why do you think India's reaction would be different than yours?

You think you are very brave by posting these types of statements? Have you ever held a gun? Did you ever leave your family for long periods and served your nation in inhospitable terrain? Have you ever stood guard to a post which may face unsympathatic enemy fire? Have you ever defended a point or patrolled a region all through the night under chilling weather which will be crawling with enemy special forces who will behead you they moment you lay your guard down? If the answer is no, you have got no fvcking idea of how the situation at the border is. And one last thing...you think no one in the Indian army or pak army is as brave (foolish) as you are? Why do you think they are not going gung ho at the enemy? It's not a big deal to defy the commander's orders and start a fvcking incident where the sh!t could hit the fan real soon. Why?

Pakistan is not serious about Kashmir. They have not set any deadline so far. They say that they are stronger, braver, have better arms and relations with other countries yet they have not taken any decisive step on Kashmir. It will be 50 years since war of 65 which Pakistan claim they won but even after that could not get Kashmir. They couldn't take it after winning the war then what purpose next war would serve.

Pakistan should set a time frame like 5 years for peaceful negotiations and then 5 years for war. Solve it by 2025.

India isnt even a issue or discussed in Pakistan anymore. We are more focused on ourselves now. It's Indians who are united on anti Pakistan hatred... Have you seen Indian media and PAKISTANI media? Noted the professionalism.

All I have to declare is that Indians are basically 5 year old cry babies

Dont bring religion into every discussion. If you think only muslims are ready...you are seriously mistaken. This is not called as bravery. It is called as suicidal tendency and requires immediate psychiatric help.

You think your country can survive a war with India..nuclear or otherwise? Pray do tell how?
