Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Asim Munir Wednesday vowed that the armed forces would not allow May 9 incidents to come to pass “again at any cost”.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) workers during their protests following party chairman Imran Khan’s arrest on May 9 vandalised the martyrs’ monument, Lahore Corps Commander House, and General Headquarters.
“No one will be allowed to disrespect our shuhada [martyrs] and their monuments,” the army chief said during his visit to the martyrs’ monument, where he paid rich tribute to the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the pride, honour, and dignity of the nation.
