The Pakistan military has once again retaliated that planners, facilitators and executioners of May 9 riots will be held accountable, Inter-Services Public Relations said.

The statement from the military’s top brace came during the 83rd Formation Commanders Conference, chaired by Chief of Army Staff General Asim Munir, the military’s media wing said.

The key hurdle was attended by Corps Commanders, Principal Staff Officers, and all Formation Commanders of Pakistan Army.

The forum noted that planners, perpetrators, abettors, and facilitators of 9th May need to be brought to justice for the collective good of the country, and that without swift and transparent dispensation of justice to the culprits and establishing the rule of law, stability in the country will ever remain hostage to the machinations of such elements.

The forum resolved to continue to fully support the government’s initiatives in various domains for sustainable economic growth and curbing illegal activities, including smuggling, hoarding, electricity theft, implementation of One Document Regime, dignified repatriation of illegal foreigners, and safeguarding of the national database, etc.

The forum was briefed on the dynamics of the geo-strategic environment, emerging challenges to national security, and the Army’s strategy to counter multi-domain threats.

They were also briefed on technological innovations to modernize the Army and optimize logistic support to field formations, in line with fast-evolving operational environment.
