“While acknowledging the challenges faced by our military, we advocate for a comprehensive inquiry to prevent future incidents. We believe that the military could not have intentionally targeted innocent civilians, emphasizing understanding while seeking accountability.
“However, our association advocates for caution among the public, especially those advocating for sanctions against the military to prevent demoralisation of the military and jeopardising their dedicated efforts against terror.
“AANI emphasised the importance of unity in the face of adversity and these trying times in our nation. Similarly, it is crucial to maintain unity and support for our armed forces and security agencies, recognising the immense sacrifices they make in the fight against terrorism, insurgency and other criminalities such as banditry and kidnapping among others. Undoubtedly, this will contribute to enhancing the safety of civilians in conflict zones,” the statement said.
