Kayani urges unity to get Pakistan out of chaosKAKUL: Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Kayani said on Monday that the nation should look forward, restructure the present and keep an eye on future to attain destination. Addressing an event to mark Independence Day at the Kakul Military Academy, he also reasoned that launching operations against terrorism was not the sole and even correct solution to the issue, rather “we would have to understand and comprehend the exact and logical interpretation of terrorism, in its truer context”, he said. "Any mistake of ignoring the issue in raw or misinterpreting it can be fatally divisive for the nation," he cautioned. He also warned against any endeavours or struggle by elements, merely to enforce dogmas by force or volatile means, as "any such factors would make us declare an open war against such elements". "War against terrorism was a war owned by entire nation, and not army alone," he declared, adding, "Cooperation of masses was mandatory for army's success against it." Congratulating the nation on the day, the top general also expressed his pride that he was also participating in the auspicious parade. "We are all, more or less equally responsible for mistakes made in past, but crying over spilt milk has taken no nation anywhere," the general said. online
