It said gratitude is owed to other law enforcement agencies that worked hand in hand with the armed forces to safeguard the democratic process.

“The armed forces remain dedicated to upholding peace and security in the country and stand ready to provide unwavering support in safeguarding the democratic traditions of our state,” the ISPR said.
