On Tuesday, the 244th Corps Commanders Conference was held at the General Headquarters in which the forum took note of malicious propaganda by the Indian military with the army chief, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said.

The meeting was presided over by Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa. 

Speaking on the occasion, General Bajwa said the baseless propaganda only reflects their frustration and an attempt to divert attention from their internal contradictions especially gross human rights violations, being committed in IIOJ&K.

According to ISPR, the forum took a comprehensive review of evolving security situation in the region with a particular focus on Border Management and Internal Security. It was apprised on measures being taken to thwart nefarious designs of inimical forces to destabilize Pakistan and spoil the hard-earned peace and stability.

The forum further expressed concern over the "brewing humanitarian cum security situation in Afghanistan concluding that meaningful engagement and sustained support by the international community is imperative for paving way for peace and stability in Afghanistan and the larger region".

Gen Bajwa lauded operational preparedness of formations and focus on training including enhanced collaboration with foreign militaries and conduct of joint exercises in the operational and counter-terrorism domain.
