Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Raheel Sharif said earlier today that the war against terror calls for extraordinary decisions and that establishment of army courts is not the Pak Army’s wish but it is the need of the time.
He expressed these views in the All Parties Conference (APC) in Islamabad.
While addressing the participants he said that Pakistan has reached a sensitive stage in the war against terrorism. The COAS said that “as a nation they could not even think of losing the war against terrorism and that Pakistan would win this war at any cost”.
General Sharif also said that the future of the nation would depend on the decisions they take in the present. Decisions made in the present would determine the destiny of the nation, he added. The COAS urged the political leadership of the country to continue showing solidarity towards the cause. He also urged the participants to pay attention on the implementation of the decisions taken by all the members collectively.
The COAS further said that after the situation becomes normal, they would return to the usual system of the country.
It should be noted that the military courts are to be constituted for a period of two years.
