Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Syed Asim Munir has urged Pakistan’s youth to prioritise their duties and self-responsibility over engaging in baseless criticism, the state-run Radio Pakistan broadcaster reported on Sunday.
Addressing students at the CMH Institute of Medical Sciences in Bahawalpur, Gen Munir emphasised the importance of academic excellence and equipping young people with the skills to contribute to national development.
The army chief praised the youth’s role in shaping Pakistan’s future and reiterated the army’s commitment to supporting initiatives that empower young talent.
Gen Asim Munir cautioned that false narratives were being spread to undermine the state’s efforts against terrorism.
During the visit, the army chief also inaugurated the Innovista Cholistan project and the Integrated Combat Simulator Arena, which ISPR described as key steps in advancing medical education, information technology, and combat readiness.
Earlier, upon his arrival, the COAS was received by the Bahawalpur Corps commander.
During his visit, General Munir addressed officers and troops, commending their dedication, high morale, and combat readiness.
He emphasised that rigorous training remains fundamental to a soldier’s professional development and should continue to be a defining characteristic of the Pakistan Army in tackling modern warfare challenges.
