Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Asim Munir has reiterated that the Armed Forces won’t let Fitna al-Khawarij impose their ideology on Pakistan.
“Pakistan Army is actively fighting against miscreants and Khawarij elements,” COAS General Asim Munir said while speaking to students in a special session at the GHQ, Rawalpindi.
“Islam has given clear orders regarding troublemakers. The Khawarij are those who have deviated from Islam, and they are misinterpreting its teachings.”
The COAS said Pakistan’s rich religious, cultural, and historical traditions, saying, “We take pride in our faith, civilisation, and heritage. Those who claim to fight in the name of jihad—what version of Shariah do they follow?”
COAS Asim Munir firmly defended women’s rights and said, “Islam has granted women their rights in every aspect of life. Who gave the Khawarij the authority to snatch away these rights? The rights given by Islam cannot be taken away by anyone!”
