Rawalpindi (Web Desk): The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) on Friday clarified that the views of former Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General (retd) Qamar Javed Bajwa on Pakistan Army's “combat worthiness” were “quoted out of the context”.
In a statement, the military's media wing said that recently, there have been discussions in media on Pakistan army’s combat worthiness in view of the condition of certain weapon systems on its inventory.
The ISPR added that the views of former army chief on future threat to Pakistan, which he shared with media persons in an off the record interactive session, have been quoted out of the context.
"Pakistan Army assures the people of Pakistan that we always took and will continue to take pride in our operational preparedness and utmost combat worthiness," the statement said.
"Pakistan's Armed Forces always did and will continue to keep their weapons, equipment and battle hardened human resource ever ready for the defence of motherland," the military's media wing said.
