Anarchy is spread through social media: COAS Munir

General Asim Munir, the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), stated on Thursday that social media is a catalyst for the development of “anarchy.”
The army chief was speaking in Islamabad at the Ulema-o-Mashaikh Conference. As stated by COAS Munir in statements from his address that were made public by Inter Services Public Relations, “Anarchy is spread through social media.”
“By God, we will stand before anyone who tries to create chaos in Pakistan,” he continued. Pakistan is made to last, so no force in the world can destroy it.
The army chief urged scholars and clerics to encourage tolerance and unity in society instead of extremism or discrimination, saying that they should “bring back moderation in the society and reject corruption in the world”.

“It is the country’s law that has to control and curb digital terrorism [but] unfortunately, you can see that lies, propaganda — particularly on social media — fake news and doctored images continue to spread while confusion is created in the public’s mind,” he had said.
