Director General Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry on Saturday said that the people of Balochistan are standing up against terrorism and actively pointing out terrorists and their facilitators.
Addressing students during a special session of ISPR’s internship program, the DG ISPR said that an operation in any area can only succeed when the local population itself identifies the terrorists. “The people of Balochistan are tired of terrorists and their facilitators and are now rising against them,” he remarked, describing the Baloch people as highly intelligent and far-sighted.
He clarified that those who shelter terrorists or store explosives in their homes would face the consequences, but emphasized that the punishment of one individual cannot be extended to an entire village or community. “The Pakistan Army has no interest in harming innocent civilians in the name of counter-terrorism,” he said.
