President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif praised security forces for carrying out a successful operation against Indian-backed Fitna-al-Hindustan terrorists in Panjgur, which resulted in the death of six militants.
In separate statements, both leaders said operations against terrorists under Operation Azm-e-Istehkam would continue to their logical conclusion.
President Zardari reaffirmed the nation’s resolve to eliminate terrorism and asserted that Fitna-al-Hindustan and its enablers would never succeed in undermining the peace and stability of Pakistan.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif praised security forces for neutralizing terrorists who he said were plotting to harm the lives and properties of innocent and unarmed Pakistani citizens.
The Prime Minister also reiterated the government’s commitment to eradicate terrorism from the country and ensure lasting peace and security.
Home Minister Mohsin Naqvi praised the security forces for the successful operation in Panjgur.
He praised the forces for their bravery and professionalism after six Indian-sponsored terrorists were eliminated in a timely action that foiled their nefarious plans.
Naqvi paid tribute to the security forces and said that the operations against such elements in Balochistan were highly commendable. He added that the nation supports the security forces in the fight against terrorism.
Earlier, security forces killed 17 terrorists belonging to Fitna al-Hindustan during a series of IBO operations conducted in various districts of Balochistan following the May 24 train incident, the ISPR stated on Tuesday.
The operations were carried out in Mastung, Nushki, Zehri, Khuzdar and Ketch districts as part of an intensified counter-terrorism response.
