Gen Munir said the country’s people “are living as a free nation owing to the martyrs’ sacrifices”. “We emerge as a strong nation after trial and tribulations. To weaken Pakistan’s armed forces is tantamount to weakening the country itself.” The army chief said armed forces will not let sacrifices of their martyrs to go waste. “Unfortunately the forces who have evil designs of extremism and extremism have surfaced in our country.” Gen Munir said that the base of our national consciousness is the ideology of Pakistan, which stands on the two-nation theory. “May the Almighty Allah grant us the courage and strength to defend the country and make it a successful and great example for future generations.” The army chief said that the two-nation theory provided an opportunity to the Muslims of the subcontinent to have separate identity, culture and civilization.
