Field Marshal Asim Munir warns India against hydro terrorism

Earlier, Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir warned India against the unlawful and legally untenable ‘hydro terrorism’ that threatens strategic stability in South Asia, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said.

The field marshal addressed the global and regional environment during his visit to the Command & Staff College Quetta on Friday.

“Highlighting Indian state’s role in sponsoring terrorism inside Pakistan, the COAS commented on the reinvigorated counter terrorism drive and expressed confidence that the Nation’s fight against terrorism will be driven to a logical conclusion – success against all forms and manifestations of terrorism,” the ISPR added.

Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir also commented on the global and regional environment and shed light on the character of emerging conflict, with particular emphasis on India’s increasingly dangerous propensity to use unprovoked military aggression against Pakistan.

“Pakistan will never be coerced and inimical designs to distract Pakistan’s efforts against war on terrorism will be comprehensively defeated,” the field marshal added.
