COAS SPEECH

AZADI PARADE – 2011

Distinguished Guests,

Ladies and Gentlemen!

1. Please accept my heartiest felicitations on 64th anniversary of the Independence Day of Pakistan. I thank our distinguished guests for joining us tonight. Your presence has added to the grace and spirit of the Azadi Parade.

2. Azadi Parade by Pakistan Army has become a landmark event on our National Calendar, which further strengthens our bondage with our beloved motherland. This parade reminds us of the sacrifices that made the dream of Pakistan a possibility. It also gives us a chance to renew the pledge of our commitment to Pakistan.

Ladies and Gentlemen!

3. 14th August 1947 was a historic day for the Muslims of the Subcontinent. This day is testimony to the indomitable will of the Muslims to establish a separate homeland under the inspiring leadership of Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah.

4. Let us, on this day, humbly thank Allah Almighty. Let us pray together that He gives us strength and wisdom to preserve and protect the ideology, solidarity, integrity and a bright future for Pakistan. We must stay committed to the ideals of Pakistan and remain ever ready to protect our motherland. I have no doubt that the challenges we face today, will only strengthen our resolve.

Ladies and Gentlemen!

5. The basis of our existence is the ‘Ideology of Pakistan’. Therefore, each one of us must endeavour to pass it on to our future generations. We have a firm belief that by following the golden principles of Islam, we shall progress and win a respectable place in the comity of nations. We should never forget that Islam is the religion of peace. This great religion is the bond that binds us together and not a force that divides us.

Ladies and Gentlemen!

6. For past Sixty Four years, the Armed Forces of Pakistan have performed their sacred duty to defend Pakistan. Our officers and soldiers have displayed great courage, determination and professional excellence in discharging their duties. The rank and file of Pakistan Army draw strength from the contributions of Pakistan Air Force, Navy, civilian law

enforcement agencies and especially the people of Pakistan. We could not have achieved this success without the resolve, commitment and perseverance displayed by the people of Pakistan.

7. Let us acknowledge and honour the sacrifices of our brave soldiers and citizens and pay tribute to their families. Their sacrifices, undoubtedly, underscore the nation’s ability and commitment to deal with any threat to the integrity, sovereignty and well being of Pakistan.

Ladies and Gentlemen!

8. Today, our challenges are far greater and complex than ever before. We have to put Pakistan firmly on the path to prosperity.

9. I have no doubt that given our National resilience, abundance of resources and above all the huge reservoir of highly talented youth; we will overcome all difficulties – We will INSHALLAH.

10. May Allah bless and protect our beloved motherland Pakistan.

　Thank You and Azadi Mubarak

[A.Muqeet khan]

Acha.Agar esi hi baat hai to tu khud pehla kadam kion nhin uthata.Urdu mein baat kar na.Kion itni angrezi jhaar raha hai.Kuttay kay bachay tu to galiyan bhi angrezi mein day raha hai aur baat karta hai urdu ki.bara aya urdu ka chamcha.chal nikal teray jesay loog nahin chhiyen hamain yehan.
And just so you know,many foreigners are studying in PMA and many foreigners attend all the functions in PMA.You expect them to understand urdu.
khud to tum log koi esa idara bna nahin sakay jeha koi foreigner a kar aap ki izzat kare aur baat karte ho.Chalo niklo humein tumhare jaisay logon ki zarorat nahin hai.

Unparh jahil.Apne tareekh khol ke dekh to tujhe pata chale ga ke urdu kabhi bhi pakistan ya india ki official language nahin thi.It WAS PERSIAN.
Ab ja kar so ja ziada ghusa na dila.

I know dude.It's just who gave him the right to abuse the COAS.
I wouldn't give a damn to what rookies post here but disrespecting the COAS is unbearable.

No body is above criticism. I have seen people here criticise presidents.

So speak in persian

 

[jamal18]

Forigners study in PMA?

They also study in Russai, Bulgaria, you name it.

I believe one of your naval people studied in Germany.

He said the basis of our existence is the “Ideology of Pakistan”.

"Ideology of Pakistan" - A concept that did not exist before Zia -- Clearly if Kiyani is not in the mold, ISPR is. The content of this "ideology" is exactly at odds with the vision of Pakistan's founder and yet it does not see seem clear to some why reform in the army is central to Pakistan moving towards the vision of Jinnah's Pakistan.

 

[TARIQ BN ZIYAAD]

Assalam alaikum

A good speech by COAS

"Ideology of Pakistan" - A concept that did not exist before Zia -- Clearly if Kiyani is not in the mold, ISPR is. The content of this "ideology" is exactly at odds with the vision of Pakistan's founder and yet it does not see seem clear to some why reform in the army is central to Pakistan moving towards the vision of Jinnah's Pakistan.

Well, this is your denial mode then. A small minority thinks like you and they are of least importance to the majority of Pakistanis, no one buys that actually. Ideology of Pakistan is based on two Nation theory as stated by COAS, and if you haven't heard what he said, let me repeat his words, We made this country in the name of Islam and we have to follow the golden principles of Islam to take Pakistan to its destiny, which is a Modern Islamic welfare State.

And btw, till the Army is the protectors of Pakistan's ideology, your version of Jinnah and Pakistan are nothing but a internet slogan cheers!
