RAWALPINDI: Chief of the Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa has telephoned Commander of Resolute Support Mission in Afghanistan General Nicholson, to play his role to stop Afghan soil being used for terror attacks in Pakistan.
Inter-Services Public Relations said, “COAS expressed his concerns over continued acts of terrorism in Pakistan with impunity from Afghanistan. Most of the incidents in Pakistan are claimed by terrorist organisations with leadership hiding in Afghanistan.”
The army chief said that the inaction against terrorists in Afghanistan is testing Pakistan’s policy of cross-border restraint.
“COAS asked Commander RSM to play his role in disconnecting this planning, direction, coordination and financial support,” the statement said.
The media cell reported that General Bajwa informed the US commander about forwarding a list of terrorists that has been handed over to Afghanistan demanding action against them.
“US General expressed his condolences on the loss of precious lives in recent terrorist incidents and assured him full assistance in response to his concerns,” the ISPR stated.
The RSM commander shared his plans to undertake special coordination at an appropriate level between RSM, Afghan security forces and Pakistan.
