PESHAWAR: Corps Commander Peshawar Lt Gen Asif Yasin Malik said on Monday that foreign hand was involved in prevailing unrest in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata) and Pakistan Army with the support of local people would thwart the nefarious designs of the anti-state elements.
Talking to reporters before addressing the inaugural session of five-day seminar on Human Rights Laws and Rules of Engagements awareness programme organized by the Pakistan Army as part of its education and capacity-building for army officers and jawans here at the Corps Headquarters, he said foreign hand was helping the anti-state elements to destabilise Fata for their vested interests.
Involvement of foreign hand in Fata could not be ruled out as we have solid proof in this regard which has been submitted to the quarters concerned for taking necessary action, he stressed.
Asked about the recent terrorism incidents in Mohmand Agency, the corps commander said there were some pockets where miscreants took law into their hands and action against them was going on. The terrorists come from across the western border for disturbing law and order in Pakistans tribal areas and return to that war-torn country and take refuge there, he maintained.
To a question about the uplift work in South Waziristan, he said development projects were in an advanced state and on completion would bring about positive changes in the lives of the tribal people.
