ISLAMABAD
\nFederal Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Tariq Fazal Chaudhry on Friday emphasized that Pakistan\u2019s unity is unshakable and its determination unyielding as the armed forces and the people stand as one force to confront terrorism.
\nHe said that operation Ghazab lil-Haq against the Afghan Taliban regime will continue with full intensity until its mission is accomplished in totality.
\nIn an exclusive conversation with a local news channel, the minister said that decisive action had become inevitable, as Pakistan had exhausted all diplomatic avenues in pursuit of peace and stability. He noted that Pakistan formally invited the Afghan side for negotiations and peace talks, with friendly and brotherly countries such as Qatar and Turkey also playing a supportive role in facilitating dialogue.
\nAccording to the minister, despite Pakistan presenting concrete evidence and expressing readiness for a peaceful resolution, the Afghan authorities declined to cooperate meaningfully. DNA
\nTariq Fazal further revealed that the Afghan side demanded financial resources reportedly amounting to around $10 billion. He said Pakistan\u2019s Defence Minister responded that any such understanding required a clear written guarantee to ensure sincerity and accountability.
\nHe maintained that had there been genuine intent and a formal written commitment, Pakistan was prepared to consider even greater financial support; however, the core issue remained the absence of a credible written assurance to address Pakistan\u2019s security concerns. He said that the action taken by the armed forces has delivered a clear and lasting lesson, ensuring that Pakistan\u2019s civilians will not be targeted again.
\nHe stressed that this message is also for the Afghan side to understand that Pakistan\u2019s patience should not be mistaken for weakness.The minister further alleged that India, frustrated by its setbacks, has been attempting to exploit Afghan territory to destabilize Pakistan and sponsor hostile activities.
\nHowever, he reaffirmed that despite these challenges, Pakistan remains committed to peace and regional stability, and still prefers dialogue and constructive engagement over confrontation, provided its sovereignty and security are fully respected. Responding to a query, he said the government will engage the opposition, stressing that on national security Pakistan stands united above all politics, with internal and external challenges met together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
