Operation Radd-ul-Fasaad launched to eliminate terrorists, facilitators: ISPR

RAWALPINDI: Military spokesman Major General Asif Ghafoor has said that Operation Radd-ul-Fasaad was launched to eliminate terrorism across the country.

In a statement here Tuesday, Director General Inter Services Public Relations, Major General Asif Ghafoor said, “The purpose of Operation Radd-ul-Fasaad is to eliminate facilitators of the terrorists.”

“Majority of the military operations were carried out to restore the writ of the government,” he said.

Either terrorists were killed or escaped to Afghanistan during operation Zarb-e-Azb, DG ISPR said and added that militants regrouped in Afghanistan.

Indian spy agency RAW and other hostile agencies are assisting terrorists, he said.

Asif Ghafoor said the military action against suspected elements is not against any particular province, adding that such miscreants are being taken to task without any discrimination. “Terrorists have no religion, race and province.”
