The 237th corps commanders’ conference reviewed the geo-strategic, regional and national security environment and matters pertaining to internal security. Serious concern was shown over irrefutable evidence of Indian state sponsored terrorism and efforts to destabilise Pakistan. The evidence brings to limelight India’s nefarious design to sabotage CPEC and its involvement in financing and training of terrorist organisations. Progress of the Afghan peace process was also reviewed.
Addressing the corps commanders’ conference, Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa said that it was duty of Armed Forces to transform the challenges faced by the country into opportunities and prosperity of the nation. He said, “Pakistan Army, with the support of state institutions and, is fully prepared to thwart all internal and external challenges.”
In the current scenario, Pakistan Army is performing multifarious responsibilities. They defend the geographical frontiers of the country; combat the menace of terrorism; extend unflinching support to civil administration at the time of natural calamities; and contribute in a big way to national development.
From the past seven years, India has kept tension high along the line of control by daily ceasefire violations. Indian forces are targeting check post of security forces and civilian population in Azad Kashmir. India’s political and military leadership frequently make provocative statements containing threats of surgical strikes.
India is using the soil of Afghanistan for carrying out terrorist activities in Pakistan. To make the western border safe, Pakistan Army is doing fencing of Pak-Afghan borders and is participating in the execution of development work in the tribal districts of Khyber Pukhtunkhwa. The dossier of Indian state sponsored terrorism has been presented to five permanent members of the Security Council by Pakistan’s and UN Secretary General.
Bad governance of the governments has taken a heavy toll the capacity of civilian organisations that have the responsibility to effectively deal with situation arising out of natural calamities such as floods, earthquake, and locust attacks. After the recurring arrivals of locust swarms in the current year the department of plant protection had three rundown air planes. Army aviation provided support for smashing locust swarms that visited the country.
The government of Sindh could tackle the urban flooding in Karachi and Army has to be called for rescue operation and later clearing the choked drains and waterways of the dilapidated drainage system of the city.
The role of Pakistan Army in national development is worth appreciation. Corp of Engineers raised a speciaised institution, Frontier Works Organisation (FWO) to undertake construction projects in difficult terrains. In mid-sixties it took up construction work of Karakoram Highway. It has completed five CPEC related road projects of 502 kilometers in Baluchistan. During the last half century, FWO has earned the reputation of country’s most prestigious, multidimensional and professional organisation. It plays pivotal role in the socioeconomic development and nation building through its unmatched construction of road infrastructure. Today the domain of FWO projects range from the brazen plateaus of Baluchistan to the lush green dales of Swat and Chittral in Khyber Pukhtunkhwa; from deserts of Sindh to snowcapped summits of Siachen. The expertise of FWO in water conservation projects is par excellent. When foreign construction company abandoned Gomal Zam dam project, it was completed by FWO. Construction of Multi billion dollars Diyame Basha dam will not only help realise the dream of green revolution by boosting agriculture but also generate cheap electricity to be supplies to industrial and other categories of consumers. FWO has 30 percent construction stakes in this project of national development and prosperity.
Pakistan Army is also providing security for the implementation of CPEC. It shows how it transforms the challenges confronted by the country into opportunities of prosperity.
