Corps Commanders' Conference: Attempts to create situations like May 9 will be met with power without discrimination

The 277th Corps Commanders' Conference was held under the chairmanship of Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, Nishan-e-Imtiaz (Military), Hilal-e-Jurat, Chief of Army Staff and Chief of Defence Forces, in which national security, terrorism from Afghanistan, internal law and order, and the regional situation, among other matters, were discussed.

The conference began with Fateha for the armed forces, law enforcement personnel and innocent civilians who sacrificed their lives in defence of the homeland. Participants paid rich tribute to the sacrifices of the martyrs.

The forum declared targeted actions against terrorism emanating from Afghanistan to be Pakistan's right to self-defence. The conference stated that responsibility for the grave consequences of terrorism rests solely with that Taliban leadership which the forum described as 'deranged' and an 'instrument' of India. This is the conference's own strong political position, and is not being presented as a fact verified by any independent source.
