PESHAWAR: Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa on Monday stressed on the need to remain focused on intelligence-based and combing operations for stabilisation and consolidation of the gains made in the fight against terrorism, according to the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR).

General Qamar Javed Bajwa spent his day at Corps Headquarters Peshawar today for an in-depth briefing on current state of security operations and the way forward in FATA, KPK and Malakand Division.

Appreciating the gains of counterterrorism operations so far, he said that focus must remain on indiscriminate intelligence-based and combing operations for stabilisation and consolidation, adding, "Nexus between terrorists in remote areas and their facilitators in urban centres will be severed, whatever the amount of effort and time".

"Having created conditions for governance and socio-economic reforms, army will stand by our valiant tribals and work with the government to bring about an equitable development across FATA for peace and prosperity in the entire region," the army chief said.

The COAS also reviewed progress towards border management and directed to expedite all construction work and capacity building of the Frontier Corps (FC) to effectively check all illegal cross border movement.

He was also apprised about concentration of terrorists across the border in Afghanistan and their continued efforts for an activity inside Pakistan.

Gen Bajwa observed that for optimum effect of sealing their movement on either side, border management will have to be bilateral both by Pakistan and Afghanistan on their respective sides.

The COAS particularly emphasised on progress of return of temporarily displaces persons (TDPs) and directed completion of their dignified return. He said, "TDPs must be helped to resettle in their native towns with social infrastructure in place, in conjunction with the civil govt."

Earlier on arrival in Peshawar, General Qamar Javed Bajwa was received by Lt Gen Hidayat ur Rehman, Commander 11 Corps.

Highlighted part is identical to what Raheel Shareef used to say and one cannot spot the difference. This basically means that the same policies will continue with a difference of new faces.

what ever happened to chotu gang? that still needs to be unveiled!

 

[El_Swordsmen]

Appointment of new DG ISI from Karachi, a msg that armed forces will hunt the facilitators of terrorists at all cost.

If he goes into Afghanistan and starts bombing hideouts I'd say he will be more popular than Raheel Sharif. The Karachi operations will continue. Bombing hideouts in Afghanistan will help secure Balochistan as well

Playing smart in Karachi and putting last nails in the coffin of political terrorist who have hijacked the city since 15 years will make him memorable like GRS.

Need a full scale op in Quetta with ground troops. Evacuate the city and reclaim it.

The first litmus test lies if Dr Asim goes free or his case is taken to logical conclusion. Three big tasks are knocking at the office door of new COAS.

1. To launch full fledge clearance operation in Punjab.

2. To break the nexus of facilitators and bad guys in shape of hitting financial terrorism hard.

3. Deal with ugly factors like N league social media team, Jew Tv, Dawn News, recent National security breach by governing elites and all those paid goons who keep on barking 24/7 against interests of Pakistan in general and Pak Army in particular and that list is way long which includes media people, politicians like Chakzai, ANP guys, MQM, many jerks form N league etc etc.

Need a full scale op in Quetta with ground troops. Evacuate the city and reclaim it.

Esp get rid of all those Afghanis who had been given Pakistani CNICs with assistance/help of Chakzais and they make quite a majority voter for them too.
