May 9 incident was a conspiracy against Pakistan: DG ISPR

ISPR DG Maj Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry insisted that propaganda is being done against the armed forces for political purposes, and questioned when those who carried out this heinous act will be brought to justice. Addressing a press conference on Monday, he said several evidences have been gathered so far. The extremist elements of May 9 did what the enemy could not do. The May 9 incident was a conspiracy against Pakistan, he added. As per preliminary investigation, the military’s spokesperson said, the May 9 violence was being planned for months. First, people’s emotions were aroused. Brains were then washed through extremist narratives from within the country and outside, he claimed, adding terrorists are being neutralized on a daily basis. The ISPR DG said there is strong resentment within the armed forces over the May 9 incidents. He claimed the heirs of the martyrs are repeatedly questioning the army chief whether they will be able to protect the sanctity of the martyrs in the future.
