FO spokesperson: Despite Afghan safe havens, Pakistan prefers diplomacy

Pakistan confirms strikes inside Afghanistan against Khwarij

ISLAMABAD : The Foreign Office has firmly stated that Pakistan’s only request to the Afghan government is to prevent its territory from being used for terrorist activities against Pakistan.

The declaration came during a weekly press briefing, where a spokesperson emphasized that despite the continued existence of terrorist safe havens inside Afghanistan, Pakistan has consistently chosen the path of diplomacy and dialogue.

The spokesperson clarified that Pakistan’s recent military actions are strictly intelligence-based. These operations, conducted in border areas, are carried out with precision and are based on specific, verified intelligence to protect Pakistani citizens from terrorist threats.

The “Enough is Enough” statement by the Prime Minister was cited as a clear reflection of the government’s determination and seriousness in addressing national security concerns. The spokesperson affirmed that while Pakistan remains committed to diplomatic solutions, it will not hesitate to take necessary actions to ensure the safety and security of its people.

Chief Minister of Balochistan Sarfraz Bugti said on Wednesday that misleading narratives about Balochistan have been spread for the past 40 years.

Addressing a judicial conference organized by the Supreme Court Bar Association, he said that terrorists belong to no tribe, and they have no links with Balochistan. It is a historic fact that Balochistan joined Pakistan voluntarily, he said while referring to the propaganda of the Indian proxies.

He said that Afghanistan continues to shelter the Baloch separatist terrorists. He stressed that Balochistan’s accession to Pakistan is a historic reality and not open to question.

He added that presenting the real situation of Balochistan before the Bar Association was a matter of pride for him.

Rejecting armed struggle, he said that Balochistan can only secure its rights through political struggle in parliament, not through violent politics.

While recalling the history of terrorism in the province, he stated that militants established camps in 2021 to mislead the youth. He said the 2008 general elections were the most peaceful in Balochistan’s history, while the province remained largely peaceful until 2016. However, many individuals released in 2018 rejoined terrorism, reviving violence in the region.
