ISLAMABAD: Pakistan army chief Gen Asim Munir said Thursday that the act of spreading anarchy in the country was the “greatest sin“, alluding to the turmoil in Bangladesh that led to ex-PM Sheikh Hasina resigning and fleeing the country.
“If anyone tries to spread chaos in Pakistan, by God, we (army) will stand against them,” Gen Munir said at a national convention.”Whoever doesn’t adhere to the Shariah (Islamic law) and the Constitution, we don’t consider them Pakistanis.”
He also took a jibe at India, wondering aloud where were “those who used to say that they drowned the two-nation theory in the Bay of Bengal”.
“No power in the world can harm Pakistan because it was created to last, and it will exist till eternity,” the military chief declared.
He blamed mostly social media for instances of anarchy in the region, suggesting further curbs could be clamped as online campaigns criticising Pakistan’s powerful military gain traction.
Gen Munir termed Kashmir an “incomplete agenda” involving Pakistan and India.
