Won’t tolerate use of Afghan soil for terrorism: Munir

Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff and Chief of Defence Forces Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir on Thursday said the country would not tolerate the use of Afghan soil for conduct of terrorism against its people.

Munir made the comment during an interaction with Ulema of Ahl-e-Tasheeh (Shiite) community at Rawalpindi, the army said in a statement.

Referring to Operation Ghazab lil Haq, he emphasised that Pakistan would not tolerate use of Afghan soil for conduct of terrorism against our people, and reiterated the resolve to eliminate terrorists and their infrastructure operating against Pakistan.” Islamad launched the operation on February 26 in response to alleged attacks by the Afghan Taliban forces along the 2,600-km-long border.
