Monitoring Desk: Defence Minister Kh Asif while addressing media in Sialkot claimed that PTI’s Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur was bringing Afghan Taliban for attacking Islamabad and his party has invited Indian External Affairs to address PTI’s protest.
Asif said that he had no doubt that PTI was collecting anti-Pakistan elements to ambush Pakistan but it would not be allowed and those who are trying to harm the country would be dealt with iron hands.
The last 24 hours brought several shocks to PMLN-led governments in Punjab as well as in the Centre when PTI’s few hundred protestors kept the state power engaged on the roads of Rawalpindi and Islamabad. However, the PML-N government took a timely decision to call the Pakistan Army to bail the government out of the mess because the civil administration of Rawalpindi failed to manage the law and order situation at the juncture of Rawalpindi and Islamabad but Islamabad police effectively dealt with protestors and did not allow to enter into territory of Islamabad.
It is pertinent to mention that five more brave men in uniform laid their lives for their motherland on the night of October 4-5 in Spinwam, North Waziristan District while six Khwariji (diction Pakistan used for TTP) were sent to hell due to effective engagement by own troops.
During the intense fire exchange, Lieutenant Colonel Muhammad Ali Shoukat (Age: 43 years, resident of: District Faisalabad), a brave officer who was leading his troops from the front, fought gallantly and embraced shahadat along with his five men. The five brave soldiers who paid the ultimate sacrifice include Lance Naik Muhammad Ullah (age: 31 Years, resident of District Khyber), Lance Naik Akhtar Zaman (age: 30 years, resident of District Lakki Marwat), Lance Naik Shahid Ullah (age:29 years, resident of District Tank) and Lance Naik Yusaf Ali (age:31 years, resident of District Orkazai), Sepoy Jameel Ahmed (age:26 years, resident of District Swat).
A sanitization operation is being conducted to eliminate any other Kharji found in the area as the Security Forces of Pakistan are determined to wipe out the menace of terrorism and such sacrifices of our brave soldiers further strengthen our resolve.
