Cross-border terrorism root cause of differences between Pakistan, Afghanistan: COAS

2025-01-15

[GEO.TV] Army Chief General Asim Munir has said that the root cause of differences between Pakistain and Afghanistan is cross-border terrorism including the presence of banned Tehrik-e-Taliban
Taliban

...the once and current oppressors of Afghanistan...
Pakistain's (TTP) safe havens in the neighbouring country.

''Our policy is only Pakistain,'' the army chief stated in a meeting with the leaders belonging to different political parties in Beautiful Downtown Peshawar
...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistain's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire...
The army chief also assured the representatives of different political parties that no grand operation was being planned in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, saying that only intelligence-based operations (IBO) were being conducted against the murderous Moslems.

Calling Afghanistan brotherly and Islamic country, the army chief said Pakistain has always sought cordial ties with the neighbouring country.

''The only difference with Afghanistan is the presence of Fitna al-Khawarij [TTP murderous Moslems] in Afghanistan and the spread of terrorism in Pakistain from across the border, and it will remain so until they [Taliban rulers] resolve this matter,'' the army chief remarked.

''Is spreading chaos not a sin in the eyes of Allah?,'' the army chief remarked.

The army chief highlighted the importance of state saying: ''If there is state, there is politics. God Forbid, if there is no state, there is nothing at all.''

COAS Munir called for standing against terrorism without discrimination and prejudice.

''The situation will improve if we move together,'' he said, adding that humans are prone to committing mistakes but not learning from the blunders is even a bigger fault.
