DIAMER, July 3: President General Pervez Musharraf on Monday said that work on a 15 years comprehensive plan was under way to make the country’s defence impregnable, adding that the enemy would not cast the evil eye on Pakistan.

“Work on 15 years comprehensive plan is under progress to make country’s defence invincible. After the completion of the plan, the enemy will not dare to cast evil eye on Pakistan,” said the president while addressing the union darbar of Northern Light Infantry Regiment at Boonji.

“Pakistan is not facing any external threat. We guarantee solidarity, security and strong defence of the country and strong defence in this era of ours is extremely imperative. Under the 15 years plan, armed forces will be modernised and will be equipped with modern and sophisticated weaponry,” he said.

“We have to defeat terrorism. There is no external threat but we have to tame internal militancy,” he said.—Agencies
