Pakistan is still fighting a long war against terrorism. Our country’s military is working fully to maintain peace in the region, the head of the military information wing said on Tuesday.
ISPR Director General Major General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said in a press conference that Pakistan has been helping Afghan refugees for a long time and said that TTP terrorists are using Afghan territory to operate in Pakistan. He said there is evidence of terrorism by TTP terrorists in Pakistan.
“Points of recent terrorist incidents can be taken from terrorists in Afghanistan,” he said, adding that the agreement signed by the Afghan government in Doha has not been implemented so far.
He further said that the decision to return the foreigners living illegally in Pakistan was done in the interest of the country and added that millions of Afghans live in Pakistan.
“Terrorists are trying to disrupt peace in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,” the ISPR chief said after the March 16 attack on a checkpoint in North Waziristan in which soldiers were martyred. He also responded by announcing that terrorist sites were targeting in the Afghanistan border area.
Additionally, an attack on the Gwadar Port Authority on March 20 was foiled, and Major General Chaudhry said the attack was planned in Afghanistan. The terrorists and their aides were arrested from Afghanistan, he said, adding that the dead attackers were also Afghan nationals.
He also said that the terrorist killed in the North Waziristan attack, identified as Habibullah, was a resident of Afghanistan’s Spin Boldak. “The new wave of terrorism in Pakistan is the result of providing TTP with equipment and weapons from Afghanistan.”

Army ISPR chief General Asim Munir has said that there is no place for terrorists in Pakistan and that the involvement of Afghan nationals in terrorism in Pakistan is a violation of the Doha Agreement by the interim Afghan government.
“We will leave no stone unturned to destroy the terrorist network,” he said, adding that several terrorists have been killed in the border area of Iran.
