QUETTA: Balochistan Home Minister Mir Ziaullah Langove stated in a strong declaration that Pakistan is always fully prepared to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
He urged Afghanistan to move past misconceptions and confront real facts, advising it to act as a good neighbor toward Pakistan rather than relying on war, foreign interests, and external funding.
The Home Minister emphasized that Afghanistan should shed any illusion of having defeated the Soviet Union or evolving into a major regional power.
He alleged that Afghanistan seeks to confront Pakistan with the financial backing of hostile external forces, warning that any malicious glance directed at the country will receive a decisive response.
Mir Langove added that Pakistan‘s security forces stand fully vigilant along the borders, advising Kabul to pull its people away from the misery of conflict and avoid plunging its nation into a new war, as confrontation with Pakistan will inevitably lead to defeat for Afghanistan.
Overview of Militant Groups Operating in Pakistan and Ongoing Security Challenges
Pakistan has faced severe internal and external security challenges over recent years, driven by the persistent activities of various proscribed militant organizations.
Among these, groups such as the outlawed Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and various violent separatist factions operating within border regions and Balochistan have been heavily involved in subversive acts.
According to security analysts and official state reports, these militant factions frequently receive financial patronage, logistical backing, and safe havens from external actors and foreign intelligence networks aiming to disrupt domestic stability.
To counter these persistent threats, state institutions and law enforcement agencies have intensified intelligence-based operations (IBOs) designed to dismantle the operational frameworks of terrorist networks nationwide.
