Army Chief General Asim Munir has assured the representatives of different political parties that no grand operation is being planned in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, saying that only intelligence-based operation (IBO) are being conducted against the militants.
“Our policy is only Pakistan,” the army chief stated in a meeting with the leaders belonging to difference political parties in Peshawar.
Calling Afghanistan brotherly and Islamic country, the army chief said Pakistan has always sought cordial ties with the neighbouring country.
“The only difference with Afghanistan is the presence of Fitna al-Khawarij [TTP militants] in Afghanistan and the spread of terrorism in Pakistan from across the border, and it will remain so until they [Taliban rulers] resolve this matter,” the army chief remarked.
This is a developing story and is being updated with further details.
