RAWALPINDI: The corps commanders’ conference on Tuesday took serious notice of Indian intelligence agency RAW’s involvement in whipping up terrorism in Pakistan.
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), Chief of the Army Staff (COAS) General Raheel Sharif presided over the conference here at the General Headquarters.
Speaking to the forum, the army chief said with the overwhelming support of the entire nation, Operation Zarb-e-Azb had inflicted significant damage on terrorists.
Emphasising the continued precision targeting of terrorists squeezed in isolated pockets in Fata, the COAS directed all concerned to intensify intelligence-based operations against the terrorists and their abettors in the urban areas for enduring peace in the country.
General Raheel said a terror-free Pakistan was now a national resolve. He said thousands of innocent Pakistanis, including children, had been martyred by extremists.He said the law enforcement agencies and brave armed forces had made a lot of sacrifices in fighting these misguided and hardened criminals to safeguard a peaceful and better future for our next generation.
The COAS said these sacrifices will not go waste. “We will take this war to its logical conclusion. The dignity and honour of our country, its people and gallant armed forces will be safeguarded at all costs,” he said.
General Raheel said the surge against terrorists and criminals was apolitical, across-the-board and focused to achieve peace in the country.The ISPR said professional matters were discussed during the corps commander conference.
The participants also dwelt at length on the internal and external security situation in the country and reviewed the progress of Operation Zarb-e-Azb and ongoing intelligence-based operations in the country.
