No individual or group can declare jihad, says DG ISPR
[GEO.TV] Inter-Services Public Relations Director General (DG ISPR) Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry has said that only the state can declare jihad, stressing that "no individual or group has this authority".

Lt Gen Chaudhry said this while interacting with members of various religious and social circles during an event in Bloody Karachi
...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous...

on Sunday. The statement has come over a month following a days-long military engagement between Pakistain and India. Since the military conflict, officers of Pakistain's armed forces have held a spree of meetings with people belonging to different walks of life.

During the meeting, the members of religious and social circles welcomed the military's top spokesperson and expressed strong solidarity with the armed forces. They described the meeting with the ISPR chief as valuable and wished to hold more such sessions in the future.

Lt Gen Chaudhry said that followers of all religions are equal citizens who enjoy full constitutional rights in Pakistain. "National unity is maintained only through equality and harmony."

Furthermore, ethnic or linguistic hatred emerges through ignorance, he said, adding that "all Paks are equal". "If we remain united, no force can defeat us."

To a query, the top army's spox said that India is backing terrorism in Pakistain, and the Pakistain Army is responding to the enemy with modern warfare strategies.

The 87-hour-long conflict last month — which included cross-border strikes by both countries — was the largest battle between the two nuclear-armed neighbours in decades. It had left 40 civilians and 13 armed forces personnel martyred in Pakistain.
