Kayani says the aim is to attack the terrorists

General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani
General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani clarified on Monday that the objective of the operation in South Waziristan is not to target peace and country loving people of Mehsud tribes, instead the aim is to eliminate Uzbek, local and foreign terrorists.

In a message addressed to Mehsud tribes, the COAS said he admits that the tribes in question including the Mehsud tribes are loyal to Pakistan. “The tribes have always served as Pakistani troops without remuneration,” he added.

He said the objective of the military operation in South Waziristan is to pull the Mehsud tribes from the clutches of terrorists elements and provide an opportunity to the Mehsud tribes to live in their area in peace.

A surge of terrorist attacks in the country has led Pakistan to begin military operations in the South Waziristan, a place increasingly identified as a launchpad for the terrorists attacks throughout the country.

However, concerns remain whether Pakistan Army is ready for another major operation code named Rah-e-Nijat after a successful operation in the Swat valley (Rah-e-Rast) only a few months ago.

    We quote in our day to day conversation Allama Mohammed Iqbal who propounded the idea of Pakistan. We very commonly say that he provided ideological foundation of Pakistan. Those who have studied thoughts of Allama Iqbal know his vision about Democracy but for those who have not read Allama Iqbal must read his poem Khizr-e-Rah to have a fair idea what Iqbal thought about Western Democracy.

    Army is also custodian of ideological foundations of Pakistan. Following Iqbal’s vision is solution to coming out present quagmire.

    Whole Pak Army is doing more than enough.
    But they are getting reply from India & US is “DO MORE”

    They are NEVER going to be sacrificed of Pak Army`s more than enough effort against terrorism. Because all this is their own created matters. Isn`t?

    How long Pak Army will fight for US?
