ISLAMABAD: The nation needs to move on from the politics of anarchy and polarisation, Army Chief General Asim Munir said Saturday, while felicitating the nation over successful holding of general elections in country.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a statement released by the ISPR Gen. Asim Munir also congratulated the government, the election commission and the winning candidates.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn independent and free exercise of the right to vote, demonstrates their determination for democracy and trust over the constitution of Pakistan,\u201d the army chief said.<\/p>\n

Gen. Asif Munir said that the media, civil society, the executive and the judiciary with their constructive role, ensured successful holding of the election.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe nation needs stable hands and a healing touch to move on from the politics of anarchy and polarisation, which does not suit a progressive country of 250 million people,\u201d said General Syed Asim Munir.<\/p>\n

\u201cElections are not a zero-sum competition of winning and losing but an exercise to determine the mandate of the people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPolitical leadership and their workers should rise above self-interests and synergise efforts in governing and serving the people, which is perhaps the only way to make democracy functional and purposeful.\u201d<\/p>\n

Army chief said that now it is duty of all political parties to give their response with political maturity and unity. \u201cIt should be considered, where the country has been standing now and what is our true place in nations of the world,\u201d Pakistan\u2019s military chief said.<\/p>\n

The army chief expressed hope that these elections will bring political and economic stability in the country. \u201cThese elections will become pivotal for bringing peace and prosperity in our beloved Pakistan,\u201d General Asim Munir added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
