DG ISPR Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry’s session in Jamia Urwa tul Wuthqa Lahore presents the Pakistan Army’s efforts
In a stunning exhibition of transparency and discussion, DG ISPR Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry conducted an exclusive session with students and scholars at Jamia Urwa tul Wuthqa, Lahore. The event was not only an official one but also a platform for sincere discourse, respect for each other, and building of collective national spirit. The session provided a gathering of intellectual voices, educational minds, and youth, raising Pakistan’s consistent commitment to truth and its resilience.
Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos: A Story of Sacrifice
Throughout the session, the Pakistan Army’s role in Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos was featured prominently. Students expressed great gratitude towards the courage and unflinching determination of the armed forces in maintaining peace and safety in the country. The operation, which was a symbol of Pakistan’s struggle against terrorism and extremism, stood out as a milestone in protecting the sovereignty of the nation. For most young visitors, it was not merely a reminder of victories in war but also a recognition of the sacrifices involved in achieving a secure future.
Students Laud Transparency and Clarity
Which most appealed to the participants were the DG ISPR’s candid and eloquent replies. Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry responded to queries with refreshing frankness, dispelling myths and refuting adverse propaganda directed against the Pakistan Army. The students appreciated his readiness to address contentious issues head-on, bespeaking a culture of responsibility and confidence-building between the army and the country’s future leaders.
This two-way conversation reassured the listeners that not only does the Pakistan Army protect the nation at the front but also preserves its narrative by promoting truth against propaganda.
Refuting Propaganda through Dialogue
In the era of the digital age, propaganda and disinformation travelled at lightning speed, targeting institutions that form the core of national identity. Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif identified the need for **narrative ownership** and the part played by educated youth in defending Pakistan’s reputation on both domestic and international fronts. His strategy—preferring to talk rather than dictate—was a welcome approach that engaged students in making critical judgments about narratives and actively participating in nation-building.
The most impressive aspect of the session, perhaps, was the human touch. For the students, encountering the DG ISPR was not merely a meeting with a military commander but with a human being who hears, comprehends, and responds. His humility in responding to questions and his ability to stand before students as a representative of both the Army and the truth helped bridge gaps that propaganda would want to exaggerate.
A Message of Resilience and Unity
The session ended on a strong note: Pakistan’s resilience is in the unity of its people, institutions, and youth. Scholars and students departed the hall with renewed motivation, with the conviction that they are heard and that they are engaged stakeholders in Pakistan’s path towards stability and development.
The visit of Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry and open engagement represented something greater than a military briefing—it was an appeal for common responsibility, where the custodians of defense and the planners of the future walk alongside each other.
The DG ISPR’s visit to Jamia Urwa tul Wuthqa is a welcome reminder that strengthening Pakistan as a resilient nation takes more than strategies and operations—it takes dialogue, clarity, and trust. The Army’s willingness to engage with scholars and students not only unites the nation but also ensures the next generation is raised with the truth at its foundation.
As the session brought out, combating propaganda and disinformation is not done using guns but information, transparency, and a steadfast commitment to Pakistan’s future.
