Islamabad, Pakistan: Pakistan’s security forces killed 35 Khwarij belonging to an Indian proxy entering from Afghanistan during September 10 to 13.
Afghanistan does not accept its responsibility for killing terrorists who are living inside Afghanistan and attacking Pakistan, while Islamabad is playing a low profile in blaming the Afghan Taliban for hosting terrorists after the Afghanistan-China-Pakistan trilateral talks held in Kabul recently.
According to official details, 35 Fitna al-Khwarij (official name of TTP terrorists) were sent to hell in two separate engagements in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province.
On the reported presence of Khwarij, an intelligence-based operation was conducted by the Security Forces in Bajaur District. During the conduct of the operation, Pakistan’s troops effectively engaged the Khwarij location, and after an intense fire exchange, twenty-two Indian-sponsored Khwarij were sent to hell.
In another encounter that took place in South Waziristan District, thirteen more Khwarij were neutralized by the security forces. However, during the intense fire exchange, 12 brave sons of the soil, having fought gallantly, paid the ultimate sacrifice and embraced Shahadat.
Weapons and ammunition were also recovered from the Indian-sponsored killed Khwarij, who had remained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities in these areas.
Intelligence reports have unequivocally confirmed the physical involvement of Afghan nationals in these heinous acts. Besides, the use of Afghan soil against Pakistan by Fitna al-Khwarij terrorists continues to remain a grave point of concern. Pakistan expects the Interim Afghan Government to uphold its responsibilities and deny the use of its soil for terrorist activities against Pakistan.
Sanitization operations are being conducted to eliminate any other Indian-sponsored Khwarij found in the area, as the security forces of Pakistan are determined to wipe out the menace of Indian-sponsored terrorism from the country, and such sacrifices of our brave men further strengthen our resolve.
Pakistani soldiers and officers of security forces are offering their lives for their motherland almost every day, but Afghanistan is not ready to stop hosting terrorists, and some reports suggest it is even providing logistical support to terrorists who enter from Afghanistan into Pakistan almost on a weekly basis. According to Foreign Office circles, the Afghan Interim Government, during the Afghanistan-China-Pakistan trilateral talks, promised to look into the matter, but every promise of Afghanistan goes down the drain when it comes to ground reality.
Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif while releasing a statement praised the security forces for two successful operations against the terrorist organization Khawarij in Bajaur District and South Waziristan District. He acknowledges the security forces for eliminating 35 Khawarij terrorists in these operations. The Prime Minister paid tribute to the 12 security forces personnel who bravely faced the terrorists in the South Waziristan operation and became martyrs. He offered prayers for the martyrs and expressed condolences to the families of the martyrs. However, he did not comment over the alleged involvement of Afghan Interim government to harbor terrorists.
