The top brass of the army vowed to tighten the “noose of law” around “planners and masterminds who mounted a hate-ripened and politically-driven rebellion against the state and state institutions”.
The consensus emerged during the 81st Formation Commanders Conference at the General Headquarters (GHQ) in Rawalpindi. The four-day conference concluded on Wednesday, according to a press release of the Inter-Services Public Relations issued in the evening.
The ISPR said, “Formation Commanders’ Conference is one of the military’s larger forums, which usually meets annually for discussion on strategy, operational and training matters, besides deliberating on organisational issues.”
