Chief of Army Staff and Field Marshal Asim Munir strongly warned the Indian military leadership during the passing-out parade at the Pakistan Military Academy (PMA) in Kakul. He stated that “there is no room for war in a nuclear environment” and urged New Delhi to resolve core issues in accordance with international laws and principles.
Field Marshal Munir made it clear that Pakistan would not be intimidated by India’s aggressive statements. “We will never be afraid of your rhetoric,” he said, adding that “even the smallest provocation will be met with a decisive and immediate response.”
Reflecting on the history of the country’s defence, the Army Chief said that since the creation of Pakistan, the armed forces have always defended the nation’s external and internal borders with full public support, unwavering resolve, and pride.
He added that this spirit and commitment were recently demonstrated during “Marka-e-Haq” and “Operation Bunyanum Marsus,” where Pakistan Army effectively neutralized all threats with remarkable professionalism, further strengthening the public’s trust in the military’s capabilities.
Field Marshal Munir also highlighted Pakistan’s advanced military capabilities, stating, “From shooting down modern fighter jets like Rafale to targeting multiple strategic locations including the S-400 systems, Pakistan has shown its ability and resolve to defend itself.”
He further remarked that people from all backgrounds – regardless of race, age, gender, nationality, or faith – stood together like a wall of steel. This unity sparked a renewed sense of patriotism and national spirit across the country.
“Our recent successes have reignited the proud memories of past victories,” he said. “Once again, Pakistan has emerged victorious against a treacherous enemy blinded by flawed strategy, arrogance, and false claims of dominance.”
Field Marshal Munir also criticized India’s pattern of false accusations and refusal to allow neutral investigations. He said India’s use of self-made evidence and avoidance of facts reflects a dangerous politicization of terrorism to serve domestic political interests.
At the beginning of his speech, the Army Chief congratulated the graduating gentlemen and lady cadets, praising their excellent display of professionalism and discipline.
He also appreciated the cadets from friendly countries, including Malaysia, Nepal, Palestine, Qatar, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Yemen, Mali, the Maldives, and Nigeria, for successfully completing their training at PMA.
Calling it a proud moment for all, Field Marshal Munir said, “This achievement reflects the strong bonds of military cooperation and international brotherhood.”
He concluded by highlighting the vital role of PMA as a foundation for military excellence, saying that the high standards shown at the parade are proof of the academy’s continued legacy.
