Rawalpindi: The Pakistan Army’s top brass on Thursday vowed to provide necessary support to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) for holding upcoming general elections.
The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), in a statement, stated that the decision was made during the two days long 261st Corps Commanders’ Conference (CCC) — held at the General Headquarters, under the chair of Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Syed Asim Munir.
“Forum also noted that requisite and necessary support will also be extended to Election Commission of Pakistan for forthcoming general elections,” the military’s media wing said.
Militancy has surged in the country ever since the outlawed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) called off its truce with Islamabad and began targeting military personnel, especially in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Balochistan.
Pak army’s top brass also expressed serious concern over continued repression and reprehensible human rights violations by Indian military forces in the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
