Punjab Police Reaffirms Commitment to National Security and Justice on Pakistan Day
On the occasion of Pakistan Day, Inspector General of Police (IGP) Punjab, Abdul Kareem, has issued a powerful message honouring the architects of the nation’s freedom and the ultimate sacrifices made by its martyrs. His address underscored the unwavering dedication of the Punjab Police to the foundational vision of a “Safe Punjab, Safe Pakistan.”
The IGP used this significant national day to renew the force’s solemn pledge to diligently serve and protect the citizens of Pakistan. This commitment extends beyond mere security; it encompasses the crucial mandate of ensuring the equitable provision of justice for all. He emphasized that the pursuit of a secure and just society remains the paramount objective guiding the Punjab Police’s operations.
Unwavering Stance Against Criminal Elements
A core tenet of IGP Abdul Kareem’s message was the resolute declaration that the Punjab Police will continue its robust and uncompromising approach against all forms of internal threats. This includes a continued and intensified crackdown on terrorists, disruptive elements, and individuals engaged in criminal activities that undermine public peace and order. The message conveyed a clear signal that there will be no leniency for those who seek to sow discord or perpetrate violence.
The IGP highlighted the critical importance of synergistic collaboration in achieving national security objectives. He stressed that the effective thwarting of any “nefarious designs of the enemy” is contingent upon the seamless and mutual cooperation between the Pakistan Armed Forces, various law enforcement and security agencies, and, crucially, the active participation and support of the citizenry. This integrated approach, he posited, forms the bedrock of a resilient national defence against all adversaries.
Comprehensive Security for National Celebrations
In anticipation of Pakistan Day, IGP Abdul Kareem issued explicit directives to ensure the highest standards of security across the province. This includes comprehensive security arrangements for all rallies, events, and public gatherings planned throughout Punjab, with a particular focus on the provincial capital, Lahore. The objective is to facilitate peaceful and joyous celebrations of this momentous national day, allowing citizens to express their patriotism without fear or disruption.
The Inspector General acknowledged the multifaceted challenges that the Punjab Police continually faces in its duty to maintain law and order. Despite these persistent obstacles, he affirmed the force’s steadfast resolve and unwavering dedication. He reiterated that the Punjab Police remains committed to its responsibilities, driven by a profound sense of duty to achieve the overarching goal of a safe and secure Punjab, which in turn contributes to a “Safe Pakistan.” This commitment, he stated, is not merely a statement of intent but a living principle that guides every action and decision of the force. The sacrifices of the past, the vigilance of the present, and the aspirations for a secure future are all interwoven in this continuous pursuit of excellence in public service.
