COAS: Anarchy is spread through social media

On Thursday, Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Asim Munir addressed the Ulema-o-Mashaikh Conference in Islamabad, condemning social media for spreading “anarchy.” His remarks were shared by the Inter Services Public Relations.

General Munir stated, “Anarchy is spread through social media,” and vowed a strong response to any attempts to create chaos in Pakistan.

“If someone tries to create chaos in Pakistan, by God, we will stand before him. No power in the world can harm Pakistan because this country is built to last.,” he asserted.

The army chief also urged scholars and clerics to promote tolerance and unity in society, advocating for a return to moderation and the rejection of corruption.

General Munir also criticized Western civilization, asserting that it is not an ideal for Pakistan. “We should be proud of our culture,” he said.

Concluding his address, the COAS touched upon the unresolved issue of Kashmir, describing it as an “unfinished agenda” of the partition. He also expressed deep sorrow over the ongoing atrocities in Palestine and Gaza, highlighting the need for Pakistan to strengthen itself in the face of such global challenges.
