Islamabad, July 17, 2021 (PPI-OT):Director General ISPR Major General Babar Iftikhar says Pakistan is meticulously monitoring the regional situation and the security forces are prepared to cope with the situation, following withdrawal of US and allied forces’ from Afghanistan.
Participating in a private Television program, he said we made all preparations and placed all security measures keeping in view the associated threats. He said all illegal crossing points have been sealed along the Pak-Afghan border and Pakistan Army’s regular troops are manning crossings along Pak-Afghan Border.
While elaborating the security risks, DG ISPR said these include restoration of terrorist groups in Balochistan and then sleeper cells that can nexus with hostile agencies. Major General Babar said Pakistan has fought a long, nerve testing war against terror and achieved hard earned success.
He reaffirmed that there is no organized terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan after the security forces operations against the terrorists groups. Talking about the fencing of Pak-Afghan border he said fencing along Pak-Afghan Border is 90 percent completed and it has been expedited along Iran Border. DG ISPR said Pakistan Army is ready to exterminate all threats to national peace and security.
DG ISPR said the fugitive leadership of terrorist groups is based in Afghanistan which is supported by the Indian intelligence agency RAW. He said the main purpose of India’s funding to Afghanistan was to develop their roots in that country and exploit it for destabilizing Pakistan. He said Pakistan has presented a dossier in this regard in November last year and given evidence of Indian terrorism and clandestine designs against it.
Responding to the recent allegations of Afghan Vice President Amrullah Saleh against Pakistan Air Force Supporting Taliban, he said, it is an absolutely a false statement and there are no such measures taken by Pakistan Air Force. He said recently during clashes with Taliban, around 40 Afghan Army soldiers crossed towards our side in Bajaur and we gave them a soldierly protocol with food, gifts and later handed them over to Afghan forces.
