Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Asim Munir Affirms Military’s Commitment to Promote Agricultural Growth
In a powerful address at the National Farmers Convention, COAS General Asim Munir reiterated the armed forces’ dedication to strengthen the nation and boost Pakistan’s agricultural sector. Recognizing the importance of agriculture and animal husbandry, General Munir compared these professions to prophethood and vowed to combat all forms of exploitation by mafias.
General Munir reminisced about Pakistan’s prosperous era in the 1960s, where the country emerged as an Asian pioneer. However, he expressed regret over the deviation from Quaid-e-Azam’s three golden principles of faith, unity, and discipline, which resulted in a decline.
Highlighting the Green Pakistan Initiative, the army chief emphasized its aim to prioritize the agriculture sector. Under this initiative, a substantial portion will be allocated to the provinces, with the remainder reserved for farmers and agricultural research.
The Virtues of Agriculture
During his address, General Munir emphasized the essential virtues required in the agriculture sector: discipline, resilience, growth, and patience. He stressed that those who persevere will be rewarded abundantly.
General Munir also outlined the military’s role in the Green Pakistan Initiative, which is to serve the public and farmers. The plans include organizing agricultural expos in all districts, providing farmers with access to agricultural facilities such as easy loans, efficient cold storage, climate-resistant seeds, and genetically engineered livestock.
Suppression of Mafias and Promotion of Positive Environment
The army chief promised collaborative efforts to suppress mafias and create a positive environment on social media. He warned against misinformation that could erode the integrity of the state and called for a united front against agitation, despair, and chaos.
Pakistan’s Abundant Resources
Refuting negative narratives about Pakistan, General Munir proudly enumerated the nation’s abundant resources. From awe-inspiring glaciers and majestic rivers to fertile lands that yield the finest rice and citrus fruits, Pakistan also possesses treasures like granite, gold, and copper.
The convention witnessed farmers enthusiastically chanting slogans of “Long Live Pakistan” and “Long Live the army,” resonating with General Munir’s commitment to strengthen the nation and bolster the agricultural backbone.
