Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General (DG) Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said on Friday that terrorist outfits were being provided \u201csanctuaries, support, and are allowed unrestrained activities on Afghan territory\u201d.<\/p>\n
Key takeaways:<\/p>\n
Number of terrorists killed in 2024 highest in last 5 years
\nPakistan has reservations on sanctuaries provided to terrorists on Afghan soil
\nMay 9 not a case of military but public
\nStep-wise technical, legal actions being taken to protect digital borders
\n25 ceasefire violations on LoC by India
\nWanted \u2018Baloch terrorists\u2019 eliminated, 14 joined national mainstream
\nProvincial government, politicians need to resolve Kurram issue
\nThe press conference took place amid heightened security concerns, with a sharp uptick in the number of attacks targeting security forces and other law enforcement agencies, particularly in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Attacks have increased in the country ever since the outlawed Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) \u2014 which the state refers to as Fitna al Khawarij \u2014 broke a fragile ceasefire agreement with the government in 2022.<\/p>\n
Islamabad has consistently voiced concerns that the TTP uses Afghan soil to launch attacks in Pakistan, asking the Afghanistan government to rein in the group. Kabul denies the allegations. Owing to the issue, Pakistan\u2019s relations with Afghanistan have lately turned tumultuous, marked by frequent border skirmishes.<\/p>\n
This was the fifth media briefing by the ISPR spokesperson this year.<\/p>\n
During the press conference, which was held in Rawalpindi, the DG ISPR addressed a range of issues, including counterterrorism efforts, Pakistan\u2019s grievances with Afghanistan regarding the handling of the TTP, ceasefire violations by India, and the May 9 riots, among other matters of national importance.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll evidence related to terrorism can be traced back to the safe havens enjoyed by terrorists in Afghanistan,\u201d Gen Chaudhry said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe army chief has a clear and straight-forward stance on this: that Pakistan has reservations on banned organisations sanctuaries, support, and unrestrained activities on Afghan territory,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n
\u201cPakistan will leave no stone unturned to eliminate the terrorist networks and keep our citizens safe.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
