APR 05, (DNA) – COAS has said that the soldiers and civil enumerators who embraced shahadat today in Lahore in suicide attack were on Census duty. Conduct of Census is a national obligation. Sacrifice of precious lives of civil enumerators and soldiers is beyond any doudt a great sacrifice. Conduct of Census will be completed at any cost. These sacrifices will only strengthen our resolve and with the support of entire nation we will cleanse the menace of terrorism from our soil.
My heart goes to bereaved families and my highest tributes to Martyrs who laid their lives in the line of duty “
