SHABQADAR: Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi on Sunday issued a stern warning, declaring that there is absolutely no room for anti-state speeches, acts of vandalism, or efforts to incite the public against the government. Addressing the graduation ceremony of the Frontier Constabulary (FC) in Shabqadar, he asserted that those who violate the law will not be forgiven under any circumstances, reiterating his firm resolve to uphold the rule of law at all costs.
Naqvi commended the Frontier Constabulary for its steadfast commitment, professional excellence, and the immense sacrifices made in maintaining public order and countering terrorism across the country. He highlighted the milestone induction of personnel into the newly established Special Protection Wing and the Anti-Riot Wing, initiatives spearheaded by the federal government to bolster national security infrastructure.
The minister noted that the FC's professional capabilities, discipline, and sound decision-making skills would prove vital in navigating sensitive security challenges and upholding public order. Emphasizing the gravity of their duty, he stated that every action taken by the officers would directly reflect the dignity of the state, the supremacy of the law, and the confidence of the public in state institutions.
The ceremony marked the successful graduation of 983 personnel, including 35 women, representing all four provinces, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, and Gilgit-Baltistan. The minister praised this unprecedented regional diversity within a single graduating class, describing it as a powerful symbol of national unity and cohesion.
During the event, the minister inspected the parade and witnessed live tactical demonstrations performed by both the specialized wings. He also distributed awards to the top-performing officers who demonstrated exceptional skill during their training period.
Commending the Inspector General (IG) of the Frontier Constabulary and the instructional staff for delivering high-standard training, Naqvi urged the new graduates to execute their duties with absolute integrity, honor, and responsibility. He concluded by stating that the entire nation holds immense pride in their service and expects them to remain vigilant in the face of evolving threats.
The government remains committed to providing the necessary resources to security forces to ensure they are well-equipped to handle modern-day challenges. The induction of these new wings is part of a broader strategy to modernize the force and enhance its operational readiness.
As the country faces various internal and external security pressures, the role of the Frontier Constabulary has become increasingly critical. The minister's address served as both a morale booster for the troops and a clear message to elements attempting to destabilize the country.
The event concluded with a formal oath-taking ceremony, where the graduates pledged to protect the sovereignty of Pakistan and serve the nation with unwavering loyalty. The atmosphere at the parade ground was one of discipline and patriotic fervor.
The Interior Minister's visit to Shabqadar underscores the federal government's focus on strengthening regional security apparatuses and ensuring that law enforcement agencies are prepared to maintain peace across all administrative units of the country.
