ISLAMABAD: 26 April 2025 – Chief of Army Staff Pakistan General Syed Asim Munir has said that the nation’s forefathers made countless sacrifices for the country’s creation and the military stands fully prepared to defend it.
Speaking at a passing out parade ceremony at the Pakistan Military Academy in Kakul, General Munir emphasised that Muslims are distinct from Hindus in all aspects of life — religion, customs, traditions, thinking, and aspirations.
“The two-nation theory was based on the fundamental belief that Muslims and Hindus are two separate nations, not one,” the army chief said.
He added that Pakistan’s existence is the result of an unparalleled struggle and sacrifices, and it remains the military’s duty to safeguard it.
“Our forefathers gave immense sacrifices for the creation of Pakistan. We know how to defend it,” he said.
