The interactive gathering formed part of the military spokesperson’s broader campaign of engagement with young Pakistanis, aimed at strengthening communication and creating opportunities for dialogue on issues of national importance.
Through similar university visits, ISPR chief has sought to explain the armed forces’ responsibilities, address public concerns and encourage greater understanding of Pakistan’s evolving security environment.
He repeatedly stressed that the primary responsibility of the Pakistan Army is to defend the country’s territorial integrity, safeguard its sovereignty and protect national interests. He also maintained that the armed forces’ institutional obligations are separate from political party affiliations, describing national defence and service to the state as their central responsibilities.
Pakistan’s increasingly complex digital environment has become another major focus of the military spokesperson’s outreach to universities. With misleading information capable of spreading rapidly across social media platforms, Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry has previously urged young people to distinguish verified facts from unsubstantiated claims.
ISPR chief encouraged students to question doubtful information and consult credible sources before accepting or sharing controversial claims. The broader initiative seeks to equip young Pakistanis with a better understanding of how misinformation can influence public perceptions of national security and state institutions.
Lt Gen Chaudhry earlier visited Quaid-i-Azam University in Islamabad, educational institutions in Peshawar and other medical and engineering universities. Students attending earlier programmes appreciated direct exchanges with military officials as valuable opportunities to seek explanations and gain perspectives on matters frequently discussed across digital platforms.
