The Army Chief also reaffirmed that the Pakistan Army stands firmly with all communities during times of hardship. He noted that disasters such as floods affect every segment of society, and it is the collective responsibility of the state and institutions to provide relief, rehabilitation, and support to those affected.
His assurance has been warmly welcomed by the Sikh community as a meaningful step toward rebuilding trust and strengthening national solidarity.
