RAWALPINDI: Chief of Army Staff (COAS), General Syed Asim Munir, voiced serious concerns about the presence of safe havens and freedom of action afforded to the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in Afghanistan, the military’s media affairs wing said in a statement on Friday.
The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) statement came following Chief of Army Staff Gen Asim Munir’s visit to Quetta Garrison where he was briefed on a recent attack on a military installation in Balochistan’s Zhob Cantt.
Gen Asim paid tributes to the Shuhada (martyrs), visited the injured soldiers at CMH, Quetta, lauded their services to the nation and appreciated their resolve.
He said, “It is expected that the interim Afghan Government will not allow the use of its soil to perpetrate terror against any country, in the real sense and in line with commitments made in the Doha Agreement.”
He further said that the involvement of Afghan nationals in acts of terrorism in Pakistan was another important concern that needed to be addressed.
He said, Such attacks are intolerable and will elicit an effective response from the Security Forces of Pakistan.
Operations against terrorists would continue unabated and the armed forces shall not rest till the menace of terrorism is rooted out from the country, he added “
