Director General (DG) Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Asim Saleem Bajwa on Thursday said that India had been playing a dangerous game by resorting to unprovoked firing across the Line of Control (LoC) and the consequences of these violations ‘would not entail any goodness’.
He said that India was funding the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata) and Balochistan.
Speaking at a news conference at the ISPR, he said that India was following a planned propaganda and violation of agreement regarding Line of Control (LoC) was a part of that.
He said that the Operation Zarb-e-Azb was continuing with success and most of the North Waziristan had been cleared. The DG ISPR said that the cooperation between Pakistan and Afghanistan for the elimination of terrorism was going strong.
Giving details of the group involved in the attack on the Army Public School (APS), Peshawar, he said it was a 27-member group of which 12 were arrested, 9 terrorists were killed in the encounter while the rest were still at large. “The security forces were hot on the trail of the remaining six terrorists,” he said.
He said that the Pakistan Army was conduction operations in the areas adjoining the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. Bajwa said that the group involved in the Peshawar attack had been identified.
The APS attackers reached Peshawar in two separate groups. The militants reached Jamrud and stayed there for at least four days in a house, he added. Both the groups got together in the morning and attacked the APS. Group commander Ateequr Rehman had been caught, he added. A confession video of Ateequr Rehman had also been released. Bajwa said that the name of the commander of the other group was Taj alias Imran.
Commander Hazrat Ali, resident of FR Peshawar, collected funds for the attack. The person whose house they stayed at in Jamrud had also been arrested, he added. DG ISPR said that at least six terrorists had also been arrested in Afghanistan. He also said that as many as nine militants involved in the attack had been killed. He said that the terrorists Mullah Fazlullah and Umer Ameen had been staying in Afghanistan.
DG ISPR said that terrorist Sabeel provided transport to the attackers and one group out of two resided at a house on the back of the APS.
While answering a question, he said that the top most demand of Pakistan from Afghanistan was the custody of Mullah Fazlullah. He said that at least 122 people including mostly women and children were killed in Meena Bazar Peshawar.
While answering a question about the establishment of military courts, he said that as many as 12 terrorism-related cases had been referred to the military courts by the provinces. He said that the military courts would shoulder the responsibility put on them. Not a single Pakistani opposed punishing militants, he added.
DG ISPR said that India was funding Taliban in Fata and Balochistan. He said that a banned outfit could not operate on such a big scale unless foreign powers were funding it.
He expressed the resolve that Fazlullah would soon be killed. India had been conducting illegal activities in Pakistan for a long time, he added. Bajwa said that if need be the number of military courts would be increased. He said that terrorists beheaded at least 12 officials of Frontier Corps (FC). He said that the communication among intelligence installations had been improved.
At least 1942 operations were conducted in entire country with the help of intelligence agencies after the APS attack, he added. DG ISPR said that India was violating the agreement with Pakistan on the Line of Control (LoC). Bajwa said that India was following a planned propaganda which could be quite dangerous.
He said that extremism in India had no parallel with that in Pakistan. He said that the stance of Pakistan on drone attacks was evident.To a question, the ISPR chief said over 2,000 terrorists had so far been killed in operations Zarb-e-Azb and Khyber-1.
He said 226 army personnel were martyred and 823 injured. He said that most parts of North Waziristan and Khyber Agencies had been cleared except a couple of small pockets along Afghanistan border.
Replying to a question, the DG ISPR said the gang busted had linkages with other incidents of terrorism including in Rawalpindi, Peshawar Meena Bazar attack and attacks at Tarnol and an Imambargah in Peshawar area.
