Monitoring Desk: Once again, a large group of terrorists (officially called Fitna al Khwarij) was killed while trying to infiltrate through the Pakistan-Afghanistan border in the general area of Hassan Khel, North Waziristan District.
According to an official statement, Indian sponsored terrorists were trying to enter Pakistan from Afghanistan, where their abettors and supporters hosted them. Pakistani troops effectively engaged terrorists and killed 30 of them. A large quantity of weapons, ammunition, and explosives was also recovered from the killed Indian sponsored Khawarij. The security forces demonstrated exceptional professionalism, vigilance, and preparedness, preventing a potential catastrophe.
The official statement added that the Security Forces of Pakistan remain resolute and unwavering in their commitment to defend the nation’s frontiers and to eradicate the menace of Indian sponsored terrorism from the country.
Pakistan, for months, has been trying to avoid sharing the reality with the media that the Interim Afghan Government is not checking and preventing terrorists from using Afghan soil to attack Pakistan. However, unofficial sources confirmed that several among the Afghan interim government of the Taliban provide all kinds of support to Indian sponsored terrorists who are living in Afghanistan and use Afghan soil to spread terrorism in Pakistan.
In the last 20 years, Pakistan has submitted several dossiers to international forums telling the world that Pakistan was a victim of cross-border terrorism launched by India, and several of them cited that cross-border terrorism is coming from Afghan soil, where Indian proxies are operating against Pakistan. Pakistan has raised the same issue several times in the United Nations forum, that the friendly country of Afghanistan is a launching pad for terrorism against Pakistan. India’s two major proxies, Fitna al Hindustan (Baloch terror groups) and Fitna al-Khawarij (TTP terror outfits), are operating from Afghan soil, while the Afghan Taliban always deny this reality.
This week, Pakistan again raised this issue at the United Nations forum. Pakistan informed the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) on Tuesday that the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), the largest UN-designated terrorist group operating from Afghan soil with an estimated strength of around 6,000 fighters, poses a direct threat to Pakistan’s national security. Pakistan’s permanent representative to the UN, Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, informed the UNSC that terrorist entities, including Al-Qaeda, the TTP, and the Baloch militant groups, continued to operate from Afghanistan. Terrorism emanating from Afghanistan remains a serious threat to its neighbours, particularly Pakistan. Ambassador Asim Iftikhar added that TTP had safe havens close to the Pakistani border.
He informed the forum that in April, 54 TTP terrorists, attempting to infiltrate Pakistan, were neutralised by the Pakistani security forces, an incident underscoring the scale and seriousness of the threat. He stated that Pakistan had credible evidence of collaboration between the TTP and other groups, such as the BLA and its Majeed Brigade, aimed at disrupting strategic infrastructure and economic development projects in Pakistan.
According to available information, whenever Pakistan has credible information that it is under attack from Afghan soil, it informs the Afghan interim government and shares information about the presence of terrorists on Afghan soil. However, the Afghan interim government considers terrorism in Pakistan as “Pakistan’s internal affair”, rejecting Pakistan’s information that Indian sponsored terrorists are operating from Afghan soil.
