ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has right to take action against terrorists based across its border with Afghanistan, its defence minister said Tuesday, adding they would not remain quiet on martyrdom of their troops.

The statement comes a day after five Pakistani troops embraced martyrdom in an attack by terrorists, based across the border, on a Pakistani ckeckpost in Mohmand Agency.

"Kabul has admitted that it does not have control over areas from where terrorist attacks are launched and, after this admission, Pakistan has the right to act against those terrorists," Asif said, speaking exclusively to Geo News.

Pakistan has recently conducted strikes across the Afghan border and it will pound terrorists in future as well, he said, adding, "We will not stay quiet if our soldiers are martyred".

"It is our duty to respond to these cross-border attacks and we will respond befittingly," the minister said.

He said that at present there has been a nexus between New Delhi and Afghanistan and Kabul has been acting as Indian puppet.

"Our desire of cordial ties with Afghanistan aside, but responding to attacks from the Afghan soil is our duty," Asif said.

Commenting on Asif Ali Zardari's statement on Rangers powers in provinces, he said he paramilitary force has been given same powers everywhere it has been called in to aid law enforcement agencies.

The former president could better know of what he said about Rangers powers, he added.

Rational thinking coming from the government?

This gotta be some fake news.

The attacks on Mohammad Agency post have continued and Pakistan fire 140 rockets into Afghanistan and Green signal has been given for sending force into Afghanistan lets see how they move. The news is all over the media.

PA has been regularly conducting shelling in border areas for a month or so. Though the intensity might go up now. However there is no plan afoot to put boots on the ground. I am not sure if its being reported by the media so far.

Agreed but the plan also includes to send in troops for seek and kill operations. I think we will hear these news after the Mi 35 deliveries which are expected very soon.

A question to Pakistani posters
Will Afghanistan have equal rights in hunting terrorists hiding in Pakistan?
Just a simple question from an Indian. Does the same logic applies to India also? Can India/ Pakistan do such strikes in each other territories?

Go ahead if you can. but the facts is you will not find any terrorist camps, sanctuaries inside pakistan & india. Pakistan already eradicated camps/sanctuaries in Zarb-e-Azb Operation. always remember here we are talking about terrorist camp/Sanctuaries which you will not find inside pak and india.

Well yeah and then there will be fire exchange and then there will be war...
It's like saying....can Russia and US bomb each other's territories......

But every one and their mother and gardner have been bombing Afghanistan for decades.....so there is a difference....

Off Topic but the biggest terrorist Army in
Kashmir

Well let me come to the topic of this thread as indian always interfere to change the topic. yes india is responsible of bad circumstance on both side Afghanistan and Pakistan, and Afghanistan Govt is the puppet of india. otherwise it does not make sense to anyone that why cant RAW/NDS eradicate the terrorist camps/sanctuaries inside afghanistan. although they know very well about terrorist camps/sanctuaries, but they never destroy them because india is using them against pakistan and afghanistan

Pakistan is probably the only worth mentioning country that is not going across the border to address the threat emanating from there continuously

Pakistan needs to realize and realize fast ! Afghanistan is almost ready for another round of hottish cold war with Russians and Americans changing ends this time around. Buffer zone by crossing over physically therefore might not be a very good idea, however we need to secure the borders to protect ourselves from the spill over.
