Corps Commanders Conference reviews internal, external situation arising out of publishing blasphemous sketches
ISLAMABAD, Feb 28 (APP): The 95th Corps Commanders Conference was held at the General Headquarters on Tuesday.
President General Pervez Musharraf presided over the conference, which was attended by all Corps Commanders and Principal Staff Officers.
The participants of the conference reviewed the internal and external security situation with particular reference to the situation arising out of publication of the blasphemous sketches in some western media.
President General Pervez Musharraf strongly condemned these publications.
He said Pakistan has already condemned this act at all forums in October 2005. Pakistan wrote a letter to Danish government condemning the blasphemy. "Our Ambassador in Denmark along with six other Ambassadors of OIC countries made a strong demarche to the Danish Prime Minister. In December 2005, our Permanent Representative in Geneva in his capacity as the Chairman of the OIC Group in Geneva, addressed a letter to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights seeking his intervention with Denmark to help stem this outrage against Islam."
President said at Pakistan's initiative, the 60th Session of UN General Assembly in December 2005 adopted a resolution calling upon the International Community to combat defamation of all religions and curb the tendency of Islamophobia. "On February 14, an extraordinary meeting of the OIC was also held in Jeddah due to our efforts which adopted resolution condemning the blasphemy."
President said that Pakistan infact is in the lead of all Muslim countries at all these forums. "We shall also ask for international legislation banning blasphemy against all Prophets and term it as cognizable and criminal offence. Where as this act has hurt the sentiments of all Muslims, irrespective of their affiliation with a religious party or otherwise, the government stands by with its people in condemning this act."
It was unanimously viewed by all the participants that "we shall not allow any person or group to exploit this event for political or vested interests. Unfortunately, some with malicious intent have created law and order problem and situation of insecurity for the foreign investors. Those who have indulged in violence causing loss of life and property of their brethren and exploited this situation for personal agendas, are actually indulging in unethical and criminal act and we shall deal with these unscrupulous elements with stern hand."
President Musharraf reaffirmed the resolve that no one shall be allowed to disturb law and order situation and measures will be taken to protect the life and property of the citizen.
At the end the participants were also briefed on the situation in Balochistan and Federally Administered Tribal Areas.
President appreciated the efforts of security personnel who are engaged in maintaining the law and order situation both in Balochistan and FATA.
The participants were also briefed on the enhancement of Army's capabilities and acquisition of new system to combat terrorism
