Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Saturday categorically warned Kabul to make a clear decision between Pakistan and Khawarij, saying that Afghanistan could not receive the militants by destabilizing his neighbor while waiting for normal ties with Islamabad, Radio Pakistan reported.
The statement occurred when the military reported that 12 soldiers were martyred and 35 terrorists linked to the Fitna Al-Khwarij network sponsored by India were killed in two intelligence-based operations carried out in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP) between September 10 and 13.
The Prime Minister, accompanied by the field marshal and the head of the Army staff, General Syed also visited Bannu, where he presided over a high -level anti -terrorism meeting and attended the funeral sentences of 12 martyred soldiers in the South Waziristan operation, according to security officials.
“Pakistan will deliver a roste -ril to terrorism,” said Shehbaz, emphasizing that “there will be no ambiguity or doubt in him.”
He said that the intellectual authors and facilitators of terrorist attacks in Pakistan are operating from the Afghan soil with Indian support. “Afghanistan has been categorically told that you must choose between Islamabad and the Khawarij,” he added.

The prime minister said that Afghan citizens had been involved in recent attacks after infiltrating the border, which underlines the urgency of repatriating undocumented Afghan residents.
Rejecting what he called the politicization of terrorism, Shehbaz warned that “those who advocate Khawarij or facilitate the terrorist representatives of India act as their agents and will be treated accordingly.”
He added that the people of KP joined with the state and the armed forces “like a bunyan-un-milky” against the proxies backed by the Indians. “The government will take all the administrative and legal measures necessary for a stronger response to terrorism,” he said.
During the visit, Prime Minister Shehbaz and Coas also met wounded soldiers in CMH Bannu, while the body commander Peshawar informed them about the regional security situation.
