Pakistan Army will not allow the killing of fellow countrymen and will expose all enablers, Army Chief General Raheel Sharif was quoted as saying during his visit to Shawal area of North Waziristan on Thursday.
In a series of tweets, Director General Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Major General Asim Bajwa said that army chief spent the day with troops engaged in the operation in Shawal.
Bajwa tweeted that the army chief visited a military post located on a 12,000 feet high mountain overlooking the Shawal Valley, where a multi-pronged operation is being carried out to eliminate terrorists. He added that 203 terrorists have been killed so far in the operation.
Gen Sharif commended the troops on their efforts and gains in the operation, adding that the valley is being sanitised. He also said that “the morale of the troops is inspiring”.
The army chief directed the troops to comprehensively cleanse terrorist hideouts, reduce the number of isolated terrorists and sever their links with their accomplices.
The army chief also said that because of the accomplishments of Pakistani troops, the army has no match when it comes to the war against terror. He further commended troops for their “extraordinary” achievements in the operations.
