He said the Pakistan Army is keeping an eye on the enemy at all times, and in case of any misadventure, an immediate befitting reply should be given.

Army officer for a day

The Corps commander later met Usman Aqeel, the boy who wanted to join the Pakistan Army. He congratulated him on his desire to become an officer of the Pakistan Army for a day, and gave him gifts.

Usman is suffering from the deadly disease of calciphylaxis. He had requested to spend a day as an officer of the Pakistan Army. Lt-Gen Dastgir fulfilled his wish and invited him to the Karachi Corps Headquarters.

He appreciated the boy’s courage and paid him tributes. The boy was given the rank of captain by his mother, and he spent the whole day with the Pakistan Army. Usman also fired various weapons used by the Pakistan Army. He was also informed about the training and operation methods of the army. “Today my wish to join the Pakistan Army has been fulfilled,” Usman said on the occasion.

“I am grateful to the Karachi Corps commander for providing me this opportunity. The way the Pakistan Army defeated India in Operation Bunyanum Marsoos is unparalleled. Every child of Pakistan stands with their forces and is ready to confront the enemy at any moment.”
