TTP terrorists using Afghan soil to create instability in Pakistan: DG ISPR

Pakistan has fought a long war against terrorism, which is still going on. The country is trying wholeheartedly to maintain peace in the region, said the chief of the military’s publicity wing 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, adding that TTP terrorists operate in Pakistan using the territory of Afghanistan. He maintained that there was evidence of terrorism in Pakistan perpetrated by TTP terrorists. “The dots of recent terrorist incidents can be traced back to the terrorists in Afghanistan,” he asserted, adding that the agreement made by the Afghan government in Doha does not seem to have been implemented so far. “We will go to all possible extents to suppress the terrorists and their facilitators,” the ISPR chief stressed. He further said that the decision to repatriate the foreign citizens residing illegally in Pakistan was made in the interest of the country, adding that millions of Afghan citizens were still living in Pakistan. “Terrorists are trying to disrupt peace in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,” the ISPR chief stated.
