The Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of Pakistan has once again accused the presence of hideouts of terrorist groups in Afghanistan and said that the army of this country will spare no efforts to destroy these groups and protect the people of Pakistan.


Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): Pakistan's Chief of Staff, Asim Munir, on Monday, August 7, in a meeting with the elders of the tribes in Peshawar's Balahisar, while accusing the Islamic Emirate of harboring extremists opposing this country, added: "Pakistan "It has concerns about existing sanctuaries for banned groups and their freedom of action in Afghanistan. Pakistan will spare no efforts to destroy terrorist networks and protect its citizens at any cost."
 
Munir added: We will increase the pressure on the Islamic Emirate to take action against safe havens of terrorists and we will only talk with the Afghan government.
 
  He also emphasized that there will be no negotiations with the terrorists (Pakistani Taliban).
 
The Chief of Staff of the Pakistan Armed Forces said: "The recent increase in terrorism is a futile attempt by the terrorists to resume negotiations. There is no option for these terrorists but to submit to the orders of the Pakistani government. If they continue on their wrong path, they will be destroyed." "
 
Pakistan abandoned the peace process with the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan after the change of army command in November last year. Earlier, Pakistan's National Security Committee had admitted that talks with Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan was a wrong policy, but for the first time, Pakistan's army chief has officially confirmed that Pakistan is no longer seeking talks with Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan.
 
Pakistan's chief of staff also expressed concern over the loss of Afghan nationals in recent terrorist attacks in Pakistan.
 
He added: "Terrorism has no place in Pakistan, and the involvement of Afghan nationals in terrorist incidents in Pakistan is detrimental to the peace and stability of the region, and it is a deviation from the Doha Peace Agreement by the interim government of Afghanistan."
 
Meanwhile, Hina Rabbani Kahar, the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs of Pakistan, said on Wednesday, August 2, in the Aaj News network's "Spotlight" news program that documents and evidence have been handed over to the government of the Islamic Emirate that show the involvement of Afghan citizens in Terrorist attacks in Pakistan.
