“I have already condemned the May 9 incidents. Whatever happened was wrong, and all those responsible should be brought to justice regardless of who was involved in it,” he said, while emphasising the significance of the Pakistan Army. Zaidi expressed his belief that the Pakistan Army is a source of pride for the nation, stating, “We sleep peacefully because of them as they protect our borders.”
