Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Pervez Kayani has said people of Pakistan not only withstood the threat of terrorism but also defied unfounded dictates of an insignificant and misguided minority in the recently held general elections.
Addressing a day-long international symposium on countering IEDs at the GHQ on Monday, he said the Pakistani nation has amply demonstrated during the May 11 elections that as a nation they can withstand any challenge.
“As a nation our commitment to moderation, prosperity and rule of law is total and unwavering, we have resolve and firm belief to overcome such challenges,” the army chief remarked. Many of the analysts say that while saying this, Kiyani points to the Baloch and Sindhi nationalists along with the moderate, liberal and secular people of the Pakistan as election 2013 has proved a heaven for the right wing parties.
