The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), General Raheel Sharif, said on Monday that the Pakistan Army upholds the sanctity of all institutions and will resolutely preserve its own dignity and institutional pride.
According to an ISPR release, the army chief expressed these views while speaking to soldiers during his visit to Headquarters of Special Service Group (SSG) at Ghazi Base, Tarbela today.
“While our country is faced with multiple internal and external challenges, Pakistan Army upholds the sanctity of all institutions and will resolutely preserve its own dignity and institutional pride,” the COAS said while responding to the concerns of soldiers on undue criticism of the institution in recent days.
