Current

General Public is requested to report any suspicious activity in Punjab, Balochistan and Sind regarding terrorists at universal no 1135 and for KPK at 1125. These numbers can be dialed directly without any code from mobile or PTCL No.

Reference Reuters Story on March 29 headlined" Interview-Pakistani property tycoon eyes media move to protect his name". Story alleged qutong Malik Riaz that he had some relationship with COAS. I categorically rebut such uncalled for and unfounded allegation. COAS has no relationship and no acquaintance with Malik Riaz. Reuters has also withdrawn its story due to same incorrect comment

COAS chaired a high level security meeting at GHQ today to review progress of op in Punjab to nab terrorists in the aftermath of Lahore Blast. Int agencies with Army Rangers carried out 5 ops in Lahore, Fsd and Multan since last night. Ops continue with more leads coming in. Number of suspect terrorists and facilitators arrested and huge cache of arms and ammunition recovered.

Press Release

No PR184/2014-ISPR

Dated: August 31, 2014

Rawalpindi - August 31, 2014:

Corps Commander Conference was held at General Headquarters tonight. Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Raheel Sharif presided over the conference.

While reaffirming support to democracy, the conference reviewed with serious concern, the existing political crisis and the violent turn it has taken, resulting in large scale injuries and loss of lives. Further use of force will only aggravate the problem.

It was once again reiterated that the situation should be resolved politically without wasting any time and without recourse to violent means.

Army remains committed to playing its part in ensuring security of the state and will never fall short of meeting national aspirations.
