The Government of Pakistan has announced its unwavering resolve to respond to the ongoing and deliberate terrorist attacks originating from Afghan territory with complete national unity and collective determination. Recent incidents including the attack on a Frontier Constabulary convoy in Bannu, resulting in the burning of personnel, the martyrdom of DSP Asad Mehmood in Shakardara, and the suicide attack in Bhakkar—represent a clear and open act of aggression by the Afghan Taliban regime against the sovereignty and integrity of Pakistan.
These attacks, carried out during the sacred month of Ramadan, underscore the fact that the perpetrators, identified as Khawarij elements, have no connection to the teachings of Islam or the traditions of the Pashtun people. Their actions demonstrate complete disregard for innocent human life and the moral and religious values they claim to uphold.
Despite Pakistan’s repeated demands to halt the Afghan Taliban’s sponsorship and facilitation of Khawarij activities, the continuation of these hostile acts constitutes a direct challenge to Pakistan’s national integrity and sovereignty.
In response, Pakistan affirms that the nation will confront this declared aggression with unified resolve, with security forces acting in full coordination and with the complete support of the public. The state’s security apparatus remains committed to neutralizing all elements that threaten Pakistan’s peace, stability, and citizens.
The Government emphasizes that this struggle transcends political affiliations, personal interests, or regional differences. Protecting the lives, property, and dignity of the Pakistani people, and upholding national sovereignty, remain paramount. Combating the Khawarij enemies of both humanity and Islam must remain the highest national priority.
Security forces and law enforcement agencies continue to demonstrate extraordinary courage in defending the nation’s internal and external borders. These sacrifices are underpinned by the unwavering love, unity, and support of the Pakistani people. The handful of terrorists acting under foreign direction primarily from Afghan and Indian proxies will be decisively defeated through national cohesion, institutional resilience, and the enduring spirit of the Pakistani people.
Pakistan remains committed to a comprehensive and relentless approach that combines military, intelligence, and societal measures to eliminate threats, safeguard national interests, and ensure that the perpetrators of terrorism face certain defeat.
