‘Fitna al-Hindustan’ is a term used by the state to refer to all terrorist groups operating in Balochistan, a designation intended to reflect the “true nature and ideology” of these Indian-sponsored elements and their “nefarious designs”.
Security sources said the success of the Dalbandin operation was achieved due to close coordination between security forces and intelligence agencies. They added that operations will continue in Balochistan until complete eradication of terrorism.
Officials stated that security operations will persist in Balochistan until terrorism is completely eradicated.
Balochistan and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa have faced a sustained wave of terrorist attacks, prompting ongoing security operations against elements described by the state as Fitna al-Hindustan and Fitna al-Khawarij — the latter being a term used for terrorists affiliated with the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
Last week, Afghan Taliban fighters, in coordination with terrorists linked to Fitna al-Khawarij, launched cross-border attacks near Chaman, prompting a strong military response in which at least 20 terrorists were killed and several others were forced to retreat.

Security officials reiterated that the ongoing counter-terrorism operations in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa will continue “in full force” until peace and stability are fully restored.
