[DAWN] RAWALPINDI: Army Chief General Raheel Sharif on Saturday said that the Pakistain Army was fully capable of deterring and defeating aggression "across the entire spectrum of threat...yet, Pakistain persistently seeks peace in the region and beyond".Addressing a passing out parade at the Pakistain Military Academy in Kakul, the army chief said: "Let there be no doubt that any aggression against Pakistain will get a befitting response and no sacrifice will be too great in this sacred cause."
"Lasting peace in the region will only come about with the fair and just resolution of the Kashmire issue; in accordance with the will of the Kashmiri people as enshrined in the UN resolutions."
General Raheel said coercion and repression of Kashmiri people would not shake their confidence from ultimately exercising their freedom of choice which has been promised to them by the international community.
