ISLAMABAD - Pakistan army top commanders on Monday asked the political forces to resolve the ongoing political crisis that pushed the South Asian country into severe economic and political crisis.

The Special Corps Commanders Conference meeting that presided by the Army Chief Gen. Asim Munir discussed the recent protest across the country and attacks on army and government buidings as well.

"Forum emphasized need of national consensus amongst all stakeholders to address ongoing political instability at priority so as to restore public confidence, reinvigorate economic activity and strengthen democratic process. The forum also resolved to support all such efforts to reach this much needed consensus.
Forum resolved that Pakistan Army with the full support of people of Pakistan, will defeat all nefarious designs of the enemies of Pakistan, Insha Allah," said ISPR in a statement.

The forum was briefed in detail about the prevailing internal and external security environment. Forum took comprehensive stock of the Law and Order situation in the past few days that was created to achieve vested political interests, its said.

The forum was briefed that a well coordinated arson plan involving desecration of Shuhada pictures, monuments, burning down of historical buildings and vandalism of military installations was executed to malign the institution and provoke it towards giving an impulsive reaction.

Forum condemned, in the strongest possible sense, these politically motivated and instigated incidents against military installations and public / private properties. The Commanders also communicated the anguish and sentiments of the rank and file of the Army on these unfortunate and unacceptable incidents.

Based on the irrefutable evidence collected so far, Armed Forces are well aware of the planners, instigators, abettors and perpetrators of these attacks and attempts to create distortions in this regard are absolutely futile. The Forum expressed firm resolve that those involved in these heinous crimes against the military installations and personal/ equipment will be brought to justice through trials under relevant laws of Pakistan including Pakistan Army Act and Official Secret Act.

The Forum resolved that restraint will no longer be exercised against perpetrators, spoilers and violators who attack military installations and setups under any circumstances.

Forum also showed concern over externally sponsored and internally facilitated, orchestrated propaganda warfare, unleashed against the Army leadership, meant to create fissures between Armed Forces and people of Pakistan, and within rank and file of the Armed Forces. The vicious propaganda of such inimical forces will be defeated with the support of people of Pakistan, who have always stood with the Armed Forces during all odds. Forum stressed the need of strict implementation of relevant laws to penalize the violators of the social media rules and regulations.

However, it's not clear whether the forum also discussed former Prime Minister Imran Khan's allegations against a serving army officer and any inquiry ordered by the top brass of the military against him. As Khan was accused that a serving officer of the country's premier intelligence agency was behind the assassination attempt in which Khan was injured last year in Wazirabad area of Punjab.  

On Sunday, Pakistan former Prime Minister Imran Khan also demanded an independent investigation of the attacks on military installation under the judges of the top court. 

Khan said there were suspeciouse elements behind these attacks and it need independent investigation.
