Discussion on National Security and Hybrid Warfare

During the session, the DG ISPR spoke in detail about national security issues, including counterterrorism efforts, hybrid warfare, and the growing challenge of information warfare. He also answered questions from students and faculty members on various contemporary security matters.

He emphasized that in today’s digital age, young people must remain vigilant against misinformation campaigns, fake news, and negative propaganda designed to create confusion and instability.

Responsible Use of Social Media

Participants appreciated the discussion, saying the session provided valuable awareness regarding the responsible use of social media and the importance of verifying information before sharing it online.

Tribute to Armed Forces

Teachers and students paid tribute to the sacrifices of the Pakistan Armed Forces for national defense and reaffirmed their solidarity with the country’s security institutions.

Vice Chancellor Dr. Muhammad Iqbal Khan said that the youth have an important role to play in promoting stability, unity, and progress in the country.
