Declared in the release, “COAS expressed reverence for the religious community and stressed the need for promoting greater interfaith harmony in society.” This statement emphasises the necessity of fulfilling the sincere wish to establish a progressive Pakistan that is unified with Quaid-i-Azam.
The army chief continued, reportedly saying, “Islam teaches us the lesson of peace and friendship and encourages interfaith harmony, which is the need of the hour.”
In order to handle complicated problems and crises, the COAS also emphasised “the importance of having the correct perspective, truth, and knowledge-based opinions about national issues rather than following rhetoric and propaganda.”.
It went on to say that Gen. Munir commended Quaid-i-Azam for his vision and leadership on his 147th birthday. During a speech on August 11, 1947, the head of state reaffirmed the independence proclamation, saying, “You are free.” It is free for you to visit your temples. In this Pakistani state, you are free to visit any other mosques or places of worship.
