ISLAMABAD: Defence Minister Khawaja Asif tweeted on Thursday that terrorist attacks taking place in Pakistan from sanctuaries in Afghanistan will be responded with full might.
According to details, the federal Defence Minister stated that the attacks on Pakistan were taking place from sanctuaries in Afghanistan and warned that the nuclear-armed nation would respond with full might to any incidences of terror in the future.
On Wednesday, the Foreign Office took up evidence against Jamaatul Ahrar at the diplomatic level that is based inside Afghanistan. The Ahrar split away from the TTP in 2014 and is believed to have with links with Daesh.
“Border management is very important in addressing the issue of cross-border terrorism, which is a mutual concern of both countries. Because there is infiltration from the Afghan side and terrorists cross the border and carry out terrorist activities in Pakistan.
It is actually for this reason that we have put in place the border control and management mechanism. Thus, both the sides have to cooperate with each other to address this issue and the concerns of both sides,” Foreign Office spokesman Nafees Zakaria said at a regular media briefing.
At least 76 people were killed on Thursday when a suicide bomber attacked the crowded Sufi shrine of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar in Sehwan Sharif, injuring up to 250 others. The powerful blast took place inside the premises of the shrine as a dhamaal was taking place, with a large number of women and children among the casualties.
