- Munir calls Afghan soil terror against Pakistan "unacceptable."
- Visited South Waziristan border, reviewed security preparedness.
- India, Afghanistan reject Pakistan's proxy war allegations.
Pakistan Chief of Defence Forces and Army chief Marshal Syed Asim Munir on Wednesday described as "unacceptable" the alleged use of Afghan soil by terrorists against Pakistan-- days after Taliban attacked multiple airbases of Pakistan Although he did not mention India in his statement, it was obvious he was pointed fingers at New Delhi. Although, India, on multiple occasions, rejected Islamabad baseless claims and asked to look after its internal terror factory first before pointing fingers.
According to a statement issued by the army's media wing, Munir visited Wana in South Waziristan district along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, where he reviewed the prevailing security situation and operational preparedness.
'Necessary measures would be taken': Munir
He emphasised that use of Afghan soil by terrorists against Pakistan is "unacceptable and all necessary measures would be taken to neutralise the threat emanating from across the border".
The visit came days after Pakistan launched Operation Ghazab lil Haq (Righteous Fury) on the night of February 26, following alleged Afghan Taliban attacks on 53 locations along the over 2,600 km border.
Munir reiterated that peace could only prevail between both sides if the Afghan Taliban renounced support for terrorism and terrorist organisations.
The field marshal was given a comprehensive briefing on the security environment, ongoing intelligence-based operations and measures in place for border management.
He was also briefed in detail on the ongoing operation and recent developments along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
When a Taliban official rejected Pakistan's claim
Earlier last month, Pakistan accused India of using Afghan soil for pushing proxy war against Islamabad. Describing the attack as "condemnable", India’s Ministry of External Affairs- a wing which oversees foreign affairs, termed the incident unfortunate and added, instead of seriously addressing the problems plaguing its social fabric, Pakistan chose to "delude" itself by blaming others for its home-grown ills.
When asked about reported claims that India maintains extensive ties with the Islamic Emirate and the TTP, and that New Delhi is behind the ongoing conflict, Afghan government spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid termed it baseless and illogical. He said such narratives are being deliberately constructed to mislead certain groups and serve specific political agendas.
