May 9 is history’s dark chapter army ISPR warns culprits of consequences.
ISLAMABAD Declaring May 9 as ‘ black day ’, the army on Wednesday advised that any farther attack on it or state institutions or any law enforcement agency will be dealt with full force.
A day after violent protesters ransacked the hearthstone of Corps Commander Lahore and broke the gates of General Headquarters in Rawalpindi, the army, through its media sect, issued a stern warning to those creating law and order situation in the country. “ May 9 will be flashed back as a dark chapter, ” read the statement issued by theInter-Services Public Relations( ISPR).
The statement said PTI Chairman Imran Khan, as per the statement of public Responsibility Bureau( NAB), was taken into guardianship on Tuesday “ fairly ” from the Islamabad High Court. “ incontinently after his arrest, there were organised attacks on army parcels and installations andanti-army taglines were raised, ” the statement said.
The ISPR said that on the one hand, “ these culprits elicit the nation’s feelings for achieving their limited and selfish objects and on the other hand, they deceive people, continuing to punctuate the army’s significance ”. “ This is an illustration of insincerity, ” it stated. The service’s media sect said that “ this group wearing a political cloak ” has done what adversaries couldn’t do in 75 times, all “ in the lust for power ”.
The army showed tolerance and restraint and exercised extreme forbearance, not indeed minding about its character, in the larger interest of the country, ” it said. “ With this situation created under a unrighteous planning, a heinous attempt was made to make the army give an immediate response, which could be used for unrighteous political purposes.
“ The army’s mature response baffled this conspiracy. We’re well apprehensive that behind it were orders, directives and completepre-planning by some minatory party leadership, ” the statement added. “ Facilitators, itineraries and political activists involved in these operations have been linked and strict action will be taken against them as per the law and all these evil rudiments will now be responsible for the consequences.
” The significant part of the statement was that the army easily advised that any farther attack on the army, including all law enforcement agencies, military and state installations and parcels will be oppressively redressed against the veritably group that “ wants to push Pakistan into a civil war ”.
The statement further noted that one could be allowed to incite people and take the law into their hands. The explosively- articulated response from the army suggests that the battle lines have been drawn and it seems the situation has reached a point of no return. Following the storming of the fraternity commanders hearthstone and the GHQ, there’s a talk of banning the Tehreek-e-Insaf.
