May 9 is history’s dark chapter

 Declaring May 9 as ‘black day’, the army warned that any further attack on it or state institutions or any law enforcement agency will be dealt with full force.

A day after violent protesters ransacked the residence of Corps Commander Lahore and broke the gates of General Headquarters in Rawalpindi, the army, through its media wing, issued a stern warning to those creating law and order situation in the country.

PTI Chairman Imran Khan, as per the statement of National Accountability Bureau (NAB), was taken into custody “legally” from the Islamabad High Court. “Immediately after his arrest, there were organised attacks on army properties and installations and anti-army slogans were raised.

on the one hand, “these miscreants evoke the nation’s emotions for achieving their limited and selfish objectives and on the other hand, they deceive people, continuing to highlight the army’s importance”. “This is an example of hypocrisy,”.

“this group wearing a political cloak” has done what enemies could not do in 75 years, all “in the lust for power”.

“The army showed patience and restraint and exercised extreme tolerance, not even caring about its reputation, in the larger interest of the country,”.

“With this situation created under a nefarious planning, a heinous attempt was made to make the army give an immediate reaction, which could be used for nefarious political purposes.

the army clearly warned that any further attack on the army, including all law enforcement agencies, military and state installations and properties will be severely retaliated against the very group that “wants to push Pakistan into a civil war”.
