India has given in to extremism: COAS

[SorryNotSorry]

Eliminate Three states from the world ISRAEL INDIA And America. You will get peace soon everywhere. Short suggestions but very useful.

Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa said on Thursday that India seemed to have given in to extremism to such an extent that it had become the new normal.

"Hate has been mainstreamed in India and it is distorting their national outlook," Gen Bajwa said during his address at the Role of Youth in Rejecting Extremism seminar held at the General Headquarters.

"The Hindutva extremism of the RSS and their GaoRakshaks, deprivation of Palestinians, the burning and desecration of mosques or gurdwaras in western capitals, the rise of hyper nationalists and the monster of racism, are all manifestations of extremism. We can easily say, it is emerging as a transnational phenomenon hence warranting a transnational, unified response," the Army chief said.

The COAS emphasised that extremism was not due to any religion or ideology, rather it is a mindset where passion has given way to hate and intolerance of others.

'Extremism unjustly applied to devout sections of Muslim societies'
Gen Bajwa said that the term 'extremism' is often unjustly applied to devout sections of Muslim societies, alienating them in the process.


"Although it is not always out of malice, but misunderstanding; yet it is imperative that we understand extremism in our own context."

According to the COAS, the western definitions of countering violent extremism were mostly confined to what they call 'Islamic extremism'.

"It is unfair and dangerous. Unfair, because of its inherent and totally wrong association of extremism with Islam. Dangerous, because it focuses too much attention on Muslim societies and masks the rise of extremism in multiple societies across the world."

'War against terror in most critical phase'
The COAS lauded the armed forces for setting an example for the whole world by cleansing the terrorists from their potholes. "We, as a nation, have fought the menace of terrorism most valiantly, giving unparalleled sacrifices. Our success is acknowledged the world over.

"Today, we are at the most critical phase of our war against terror. As we transit gradually from major operations against terrorism to more intricate, targeted operations against residual threat, under the ambit of operation Rad-ul-Fasaad, we must also find ways to ensure that the causes behind terrorism are addressed and the National Action Plan is actualized," he said.

General Bajwa said the main cause behind terrorism is extremism. "Remember, while the Army fights terrorists, terrorism and extremism is fought by law enforcing agencies and the society."

Enemies waging biggest hybrid war
He said the country's enemies, both state and non-state, are actively pursuing divisive tendencies in the society. "They are waging the biggest and most sustained hybrid war against us from multiple directions and using multiple ways."

The army chief explained that the country is not only being targeted by terrorists but also spin masters of multiple hostile agencies, trying to subvert our minds, particularly that of our youth.

He said that our homes, educational institutions, including schools, madrassahs and even institutes of higher learning, and media houses are the first line of defence against extremism in the society.

"Being denied opportunities in the mainstream media, they are using faceless platforms on the internet and smart phones," he said.

'No safe havens for miscreants'
"Pakistan has done well in denying terrorists, of all hues and colours, any foothold in our territory. We have ensured the writ of state in the farthest and remotest corners of the country," asserted the COAS. "Today, there are no safe havens for any miscreants in Pakistan."

We are actively taking measures to ensure that even residual presence does not use Pakistan’s soil against any country, nor will we tolerate others doing so against us, he warned.

"Having defeated terrorism physically, now their deceitful message and narrative must also be defeated," he added.

Both the issues of Khalistan and Indian Muslim in addition to IoJ&K need to raised and solved. India is now ready ( after 7 decades read as 7 months) to deliver Pakistan 2.0.

Yeah, our enemies will tell us how we are doing. Bawaja should try to do propaganda better.

 

[Grevion]

After radicalising their whole country for Amreekan daallar Pak army have the guts to talk about hindu extremism in India.

First stop blowing up people with suicide bombers in each of your neighbouring borders in the name of Islam and then we will talk about communal harmony.

this is the highest level of irony.
i thought our coas was a well read and intellectual man.
but you really, really cannot even begin to compare the degree to which the youth of pakistan is radicalized (which is a very, very high %) to that of India's (which is still very moderate/secular/liberal).

Well bharatis can whine and try to remain in denial. But each and every word here is true.

It will take another 7000 decades and 7 months.

It will take another 7000 decades and 7 months.

I guess you think the decade consists of 60 secs and month just has 1 sec.
