Any effort which wittingly or unwittingly draws a wedge between the people and Armed Forces of Pakistan undermines the larger national interest.

All systems in Pakistan appear to be in a haste to achieve something, which can have both positive and negative implications. Let us take a pause and examine the two fundamental questions: One, are we promoting the rule of law and the Constitution? Two, are we strengthening or weakening the institutions?

You know, 1% of us is in the armed forces, protecting the other 99, and they're all volunteers.

Every member of the U.S. Armed Forces knows what they signed up for, and they know what their job is, and they are proud of their job.

Our men and women in our armed forces are the real heroes in this conflict.

I was Minister for the Armed Forces in the Ministry of Defence for two years prior to being appointed Defence Secretary.
