Pakistan: Anarchy if the May 9 perpetrators are not punished by the legal system. The Pakistan Army issued a warning on Monday, stating that anarchy , fascism, and mob mentality would spread to the detriment of Pakistan if the nation’s legal system did not hold the organizers and enablers of May 9 accountable according to Pakistani media.
In an Press Conference With the national media at the General Headquarters (GHQ) here, Director General Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR), Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif, stated, “It is the responsibility of the provincial governments to take action if some miscreants join a protest and beat people.”
He took ex ception to the fake and vul gar news spread by certain elements against the military leadership and leadership of other institutions on the social media saying, ‘If you give the bully more space, it will attack you more.”
Instead of taking such elements to courts, they were given more space and treated as heroes in the name of freedom of expression, he said. “How many people have been punished and their properties seized?” he asked.
Gen. Sharif rejected criticism of the Azm-e-Istehkam operation, stating that it was not a military operation but rather an attempt to achieve the goals set forth in the 2021 revision of the National Action Plan (NAP).
He said a very strong illegal and political lobby wanted that the aims and objectives of Azm-e-Istehkam, which were also the aims and objectives of the revised NAP, should not be fulfilled. “A big illegal and political mafia stood everywhere in the country against the Azm-e-Istehkam operation to curb the terror-crime nexus in the country,” he said.
