He added that this \u201cagain showed\u201d how Afghan Taliban had become a \u201cmaster proxy\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is difficult to distinguish where the Taliban regime ends and where the terrorism starts. The lines have blurred. Therefore, it is necessary to make it clear that if anyone tries to carry out any terrorist activity in Pakistan \u2026 its response will be given to terrorists, their guardians, and those who protect them. No place will be safe for them as we also have equal rights,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
During the question-answer portion, the DG ISPR was asked about credible information pointing to India\u2019s involvement in the recent attack.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is absolutely clear that Indian sponsorship, abettment and design are behind any terrorist incident in Pakistan. The base of the operation is\u2026 they use the area that is under the oppressive regime of the Afghan Taliban. So that is how they work.\u201d<\/p>\n
He further said: \u201cPakistan armed forces \u2026 are always vigilant.\u201d<\/p>\n
In response to another question, the DG ISPR said that the Afghan Taliban regime had signed the Doha accord and had made certain promises \u201cwhile presenting a different face to the world\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey made promises in writing. They promised an inclusive government. Is there an inclusive government there? That women\u2019s rights will be respected. Are women\u2019s rights being respected there? Do they get equal opportunity?\u201d<\/p>\n
He said that the Afghan Taliban had also vowed that its territory would not be used for terrorism.<\/p>\n
He said that while \u201cclarity\u201d regarding the Afghan Taliban did not exist before, it did now.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe now have supreme clarity. Your civil leadership, your military leadership, your intelligentsia, your media, the children of this country; there is absolute clarity about what the Afghan Taliban regime is,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He said that the whole world was also saying the same.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are the bulwark state which is standing against this terrorism. It is not only Pakistan; the threat is to the whole region. Not to the whole region [but] to the whole world,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The DG ISPR said that \u201ceveryone understands\u201d that the actions taken by Pakistan last night were in self-defence and for the safety of the people.<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone understands that,\u201d he said. He recalled clashes with Afghanistan in October last year, saying friendly countries had understood Pakistan\u2019s stance at that time.<\/p>\n
He further stated that the whole nation was united in the war against terrorism.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet there be no doubt \u2014 whatever political divisions we may have, whatever different political perspectives we may have; all political parties, all political leaderships are absolutely clear that no place can be given to terrorism and its facilitation in Pakistan,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He recalled the National Action Plan of 2014, saying that political parties were behind it.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince then, all political parties \u2026 have always respected, followed, and said yes to this revised NAP, which is now called vision Azm-i-Istehkam,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He also talked about Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, paying tribute to the province\u2019s police force.<\/p>\n
\u201cIs there anyone who denies their sacrifices and martyrdom. [Is there anyone who] \u2026 is not standing with them. No one. The whole nation is together,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI must take this opportunity to give our biggest homage to the very brave and proud police of KP, which are on the frontline,\u201d he said, adding: \u201cWe are proud of them. The nation salutes them.\u201d<\/p>\n
In response to another question, the DG ISPR said that the number of Afghan Taliban operatives and terrorists killed was 274 as of now, but was \u201cmuch higher\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have said it earlier, that the distinction between the master proxy and terrorists \u2026 it has blurred,\u201d he said, adding that they were acting \u201cmore or less\u201d the same.<\/p>\n
He further said that the operation against the Taliban regime was ongoing.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe operation is continuing. It is under the instructions of the prime minister of Pakistan, the civil leadership. And we are achieving the desired results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He reiterated that the Afghan Taliban regime \u201chas to make a choice\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey have to choose between Pakistan, and the terrorists and terrorism. Our choice is absolutely clear. Our first and last choice is Pakistan, its security, and the protection of its people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
