ISLAMABAD: PTI Chairman Imran Khan on Wednesday felicitated Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Gen Asim Munir and Chairman Joint Chief of Army Staff Committee (CJCSC) Gen Sahir Shamshad Mirza on assuming charge of their office.
Former army chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa handed over the command of the Pakistan Army to his successor Gen Munir in a change of command ceremony on Tuesday, while Gen Mirza took charge as the CJCSC on Sunday.
Khan took to Twitter to congratulate the two military officials. “We hope the new military leadership will work to end the prevailing trust deficit that has built up in the last eight months, between the nation and the state. Strength of the state is derived from its people,” the former premier wrote.
He also shared a quote of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah regarding the role and “duty” of armed forces. “Do not forget that the armed forces are the servants of the people and you do not make national policy; it is we, the civilians, who decide these issues and it is your duty to carry out these tasks with which you are entrusted,” the quote written in an image tweeted by Khan read. —News Desk
