BERLIN: Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations (DG-ISPR) Lieutenant General Asim Bajwa said that the ongoing military operation in North Waziristan is against all the militants.
The military has no preferences, Pakistan Army is targeting terrorists for all groups, Asim Bajwa said in an interview.
He said around 18,000 operations have been conducted on intelligence basis in which approximately 240 terrorists were killed while several facilitators were also arrested.
Pakistan has done a lot to combat terrorism but criticism from the West that the Pakistani army is not “doing enough” against militants is “both regretful and unjustified”, DG ISPR said.
The biggest reason behind confronting relation with India is Kashmir issues, he said and added that making it a member of NSG would be discriminatory.
The Lieutenant General revealed that the army was unaware about the attack on Taliban leader Mullah Akhtar Mansoon who was killed in US drone attack at Nushki.
Pakistan has protested against the US drone strike in its territory and raised the matter at different level, he said.
