This doesn't make sense. If Afghan Talibans are supporting TTP why on earth would Pak Army and ISI support Afghan Taliban?

The TTP draws its ideological strength from the Afghan Taliban,and it will continue to do so whether Pakistan army supports or does not support the former.Second,the armed forces are aware of the Afghan Taliban role in supporting the TTP,but the army ignored it because they thought the TTP is not a major threat and can be easily handled. However,only when it became a serious threat the security establishment initiated operations.

The idea of Pakistan trying to create a proxy war by finding kalistan is truly absurd. They're basically giving an already prominent expatriate group even more clout while Pakistanis are the least lobbied community in the west. Summun.
There are plenty of Khalistani Sikhs even in India. Thing is in India they can not openly express their political views like they can abroad. In India they will be beaten up or even jailed forever where as in the west they feel free to speak their mind. In other regions both are involved in creating instability for the other.

If Pakistan and India went to war, will sikhs whose infantry is vast, shoulder arms or fight for India?. In this hypothetical scenario, it might be easier for sikhs to aid India in defeating Pakistan and thus helping themselves to their 'aliyah', where they can resurrect their empire under ranjit
Can not generalise over such a large number of people. Some will favour India, others will Pak where as the remaining will be mutual. That currently majority Sikh farmers protest in India does not exactly help them. Lets not forget Indian Muslim's will play an important part as well, all 200 million of them. Again they will have various opinions but millions will be with Pak too.

Them farmers are fighting for, at best, autonomy and is an economic rebellion that's been conflated with a desire for more regional power. No way would a Dharmic people so readily take up arms against their own for a Muslim population.
During partition, sikhs did jatka to Muslims en masse but they've rewritten history
This autonomy thing they are fighting for could snowball in to something much more in the event of war. Can not say that some 20 million people will all feel the same way if war broke out. Many Sikh's feel much closer to Muslim's then Hindu's and to their Punjabi brethren across the border to other parts of India. Many regret not listening to the Quaid Jinnah too when he asked the Sikh's to join him.
Those Muslim's and Sikh's who killed each other during partition riots have long gone. My own feeling is in the event of war the Sikh's will try to establish Khalistan.
If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.
I assume you despise the idea Khalistan??)
Not at all. I am just enjoying the delusion of Pakistanis.
What delusion? It is the Sikh's who want Khalistan
No. It is Pakistanis who want Khalistan, because still they haven't got over the humiliation in East Pakistan

You do realise Punjabis in India, those that are Hindu, effectively incorporate sikhism?. Where do you have this delusion they're closer to Pakistanis?. What that is based on I'm not sure. They have shrines in Pakistan that they'd like to resettle in and are having a 6 billion rupee Vatican being built for them so why doesn't Pakistan simply give them citizenship and de facto secession?.
Does Badshah mosque hold equal or less status to the remains of ranjit?.

It beggars belief..
And you still continue to suffer the nightmares of 1947. Your brothers are still crying over invaders referring to Muslim's ruling them for up to 1000 years by force on another thread!
Gaurav Arya wants an Akhand Bharat!!
Lol. Gaurav Arya is just a youtuber who makes videos for viewership. But you Pakistanis believe he is some kind of James Bond of IndiaAnd you still continue to suffer the nightmares of 1947. You brothers are still crying over invaders referring to Muslim's ruling them for up to 1000 years!
I can only assume you don't know any Sikh's or how many feel. Sure I realise there and many Hindu even Christian Punjabis ones as well, so what??
Pak is not offering Indian Sikh's citizenship at all. A buffer state of Khalistan between Pak and Bharat suits all parties involved. Not sure where the Badshah Masjid comes from??
No we know he can't do anything nevertheless as many Indian's love Zaid Hamid so much we do Gaurav too

Where are their places of reverence?. The sing about Rawalpindi, Lahore, so how far would you extend this mythical state?. Just as Israelis want the Holy Land; they don't want anywhere other than where the holy sites are, what makes you think they'd want simply their own nation when their relics are in Pakistan?
No we know he can't do anything nevertheless as many Indian's love Zaid Hamid so much we do Gaurav too
Not really, even your govt officials are blaming him for instability in Pakistan.
What has your comments got to do with the Sikh's favouring Pak in any war or being mutual? Sikh's have shrines in the west to doesn't mean they dream on conquering these lands. Sikh's know full well they can't even dream of taking an inch of Pak seeing our numbers compared to there's. You can't compare Israel and it's global power today to the Sikh's. It's not even close.
Then why are you belittling him in post 98??Make up your mind
If Gaurav Arya can cause instability in Pakistan, then your security agencies are just sleeping

They have huge economic wealth; they have massive share in so many areas of commerce in UK alone ranging from spices to textiles. Pakistan is the spiritual homeland and that is the reality of it. If they want, given Pakistan has given them free reign and building them a 6 billion pound centre to propogate their beliefs, I'd say there's more chance of a secession in Pakistan than India.
Pakistan ought to respect Balochistan because it will lose it if the parasites in Punjab don't wake up and smell the kahwa

ISLAMABAD: As Pakistan vowed on Thursday to use all means to hunt and bring to justice the perpetrators of the Quetta suicide attack, which possibly targeted the Chinese envoy, Beijing expressed confidence in Islamabad’s ability to punish the terrorists.
Foreign Office spokesman Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri, speaking at the weekly media briefing, said: “Pakistan will pursue the perpetrators of this heinous act and bring them to justice. … Thorough investigations, from all angles, are being carried out.”
Five people lost their lives in a vehicle-borne suicide attack in the parking lot of Serena Hotel in Quetta on Wednesday night.
Chinese Ambassador Nong Rong and members of a delegation from China were staying at the hotel, but were out for a dinner at the time of the attack. They were reportedly returning to the hotel and were very close when the explosion occurred.
China expresses confidence in Islamabad’s ability to punish terrorists responsible for Quetta attack
This led to the speculation that the Chinese envoy could have been the target of the attackers. The attack was claimed by the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), which has always been opposed to the Chinese presence and carried out several attacks against the Chinese in Balochistan and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin at the daily press conference in Beijing, while condemning the terrorist attack, said Ambassador Rong was leading a Chinese delegation, but they were not in the hotel when the attack happened.
Mr Chaudhri said: “All Chinese nationals are safe and the concerned authorities are taking all necessary measures to ensure the safety and security of Chinese diplomats and nationals.”
Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed, speaking at another press conference, said the attack was the handiwork of the forces inimical to the country’s peace and development. Through this act, he said, the attackers wanted to destabilise the country.
The government has put all security agencies working in Balochistan, including the Frontier Corps, Rangers and Coastal Guards, on high alert, Mr Ahmed said.
The interior minister said a probe had been initiated into the incident, which was being overseen by the provincial chief secretary.
A forensic investigation, he said, was being conducted into the attack and the terrorists were yet to be identified.
The Bomb Disposal Squad estimates that the car used in the blast had been packed with 80 to 90 kilograms of C-4 explosive and ball/bearings.
Parts of the body of suicide bomber have been recovered from the site and shifted to hospital for identification, but the police say the body has been burnt beyond recognition.
The interior minister said Pakistan had already defeated terrorists backed by “foreign forces” and would again thwart the evil designs and conspiracies being hatched in India. He, however, stayed short of directly accusing India of masterminding the attack.
Pakistan, however, accuses India of supporting the TTP and running a cell under its intelligence agency RAW for undermining the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.
Meanwhile, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Wenbin said: “The relevant departments in Pakistan are making full effort to investigate the incident. We believe that the Pakistani side will find out the truth at an early date and bring the perpetrators to justice.”
China, Wenbin said, would continue to firmly support “Pakistan’s counter-terrorism efforts, jointly maintain and promote regional security and stability, and ensure the safety of Chinese personnel and institutions in Pakistan.”

Obviously Gaurav is not on his own. He is a RAW asset as everyone knows. Sleeping agencies don't bring peace to their countries like the ISI have over the last few years
.Who has economic wealth and what does it have to do with Sikh's siding with Pak in any war with India? Not sure if you are talking of the Sikh's or Baluchistan?

The idea that Pakistan creating a shadow state to destabilise India is laughable as Pakistan's very existence will be at risk
What delusion? It is the Sikh's who want Khalistan
No they don't. It's as good as saying that Sindhis want Sindhudesh. You don't have insight into this. Ask any Indian Sikh and 95% NRI Sikhs, you will get a true picture. They are extremely patriots and few nutheads who are again influenced by political bribes does not have any bearing on 98% of Sikh population.
Farmers protest is nothing to do with Khalistan if at all there is anybody serious about it in India. It's a bloody farmer's movement from Punjab and Haryana with both Sikh and Hindu farmers protesting hand in hand. There is no religion associated , and they have ensure it largely stays a civil movement inspite of attempts by vested interests to make it a political movement.
No. It is Pakistanis who want Khalistan, because still they haven't got over the humiliation in East Pakistan
And most Sikhs get disgusted when they here such gibberish from across the border.
Believe me, you don't know a dime about Sikhs.
I know far more Sikh's then you can imagine. You are too dumb to understand that on your face they will tell you people what is you want to hear. You know nothing.
Far more Sikh's want Khalistan then Sindhis wanting some Sindh. The expat Sikh community are very much in to Khalistan like it or not. You are no one to speak for 95% percent of people from a total of 4 million. Yes I do know many Sikh's both pro and anti Khalistan.
You see the farmers protest can become a Khalistan one if these people don't get what they want, this is what I am saying. Modi now finds himself between rock and hard core for either he gives the Punjabis who are mostly Sikh or sooner or later face the Music.
Feel free to laugh all you want that is a good way to hide your fear. Pak existence has little to do with Khalistan movement.
I can understand up to 1000 years of rule by a massive minority Muslim community is deeply ingrained in the Indian conscience. In 1971 Pak was heavily outnumbered, no shame losing such a war. In 1947 Quaid Jinnah rubbed Hindu Indian noses on the ground again when a minority community broke away forming there own country.
But Gaurav is like their spokesperson. By the way the ISI has deep roots in India too, even most Indian analysts admit this.

The spiritual homeland for them is Rawalpindi and Lahore. Akin to Jerusalem for Muslims and Jews. They want their land back. People like the wouhras want to go back to their ancestral lands
They are making fun of you which you dont realize.
I request you not say the same wrong thing again and again. You can call me dumb even though I will refrain to pay you back but the thing is nobody , Indians or Pakistanis will treat you as a serious poster if you keep on saying the same wrong thing.
And I will repeat, Farmer's protests are nothing to do with Khalistan. In fact farmers protests are led by relatively richer communities of the region. The people who were involved in Khalistani movement 4 decades back were from a different socio economic class.
They can dream. That would be a bit like Muslim's saying we want to rule India again! Sikh's are too few in numbers to even think of conquering Lahore, Forget it!
I am here to express my views regardless of what other posters think. Are you saying the Khalistan movement is not real?? I am serious enough to having scored so many runs here
I said the farmers protest can evolve in to an independence movement if the Sikh's feel no one is listening to them.
No Sikh I know makes fun out of me. If anything I often sense many are envious of Pakistan.

There is nothing called Khalistan movement in today's India.
Farmers protest have nothing to do with independence movement. It's about protecting their economic interests.

This isn't just the prevailing thought among the general population but the government has spent 6 billion (!) Rupees on a campus dedicated to sikhs meant to rival Oxbridge. This is a confused nation, make no mistake and Indians are correct in their dismissal of Pakistan as anything but a nation of bluster and fanatics, shamefully
This is another thing I struggle to comprehend. Even in UK where they have vast populations they're listed as being 1% of conurbations they are clearly very prominent in, such as in Midlands, often far smaller than Muslims and Hindus when it's visibly untrue.
Even in places like Haryana, they're clearly far more populous than official figures have their numbers at.
They mock 'sallus' for their naivety and if they want this hypothetical nation, what exactly do they want and what will it represent?.

Believe it or not, after 70 years, we are grateful to Mr Jinnah for taking away lot of Pakistanis away from India, imagine having to deal with problems that comes with this Geography, India would most likely have been the same mess that Pakistan is now...
Pak has it's fanatics but our PM is still sane unlike the embarrassment next door who is a fanatic himself. So dumb is he that no one even shakes his hand when he offers it!!

You will have to explain this comment in detail for an honest and intellectual reply as I am confused as to what you point is??
Yes despite there small numbers Sikh's have done well everywhere they live that is not to suggest many don't want a Khalistan. If verbal abuse according to you is a good thing then I assure you many Muslim's call them many insulting names as well, any community can play this game. Khalistan according to the Sikh's is where they can freely practice there faith and keep what they earn without sharing it with the rest of India for starters.

Can you please give me more details on this situation...
Like i said so before India kills or imprisons those who support Khalistan. This can be done really easily seeing the small number of Sikh's. It is when abroad that the real Sikh opinion is free to express itself. In any movement there are at least two sides to a story.
India is much more of a mess then Pak. Over population, extreme poverty, countless insurgencies and at war with every neighbouring country is your India. Now the Covid situation has made things even more difficult for you. To save face it is natural for you to now say partition was a good thing when in reality your forefathers did everything to stop it.

Islamabad [Pakistan], April 29 (ANI): Pakistan's capital city of Islamabad has been put on high alert in the wake of intelligence reports that terrorists might strike in the city.
The security of high profile individuals including VVIPs, VIPs, diplomats and Chinese nationals has also been tightened, Pakistani newspaper Dawn reported.
Moreover, the security was also tightened around important installations, hospitals and religious places.
The Central Police Office (CPO) of Islamabad had written letters to various departments of the city, asking them to upgrade security for personalities and installations, senior police officers told Dawn.
The security officials have also been directed to stay on high alert at all check posts and points.
Earlier this month, radical Islamist party the Tehrik-i-Taliban in Pakistan (TTP) had claimed responsibility for a deadly bomb blast at a luxury hotel in Quetta, hosting the Chinese ambassador, which led to the killing of four. (ANI)

At least three people have been killed and more than 15 injured in an explosion in Balochistan's Mastung district on Sunday, Deputy Inspector General of Quetta police Azhar Akram confirmed.
He added that the number of casualties could rise.
The attack comes less than two weeks after three Levies personnel were martyred and as many injured when their vehicle hit a landmine in the province's Ziarat district.
Earlier that week, a Pakistan Army captain was martyred and two soldiers injured when their vehicle hit an improvised explosive device (IED) planted by terrorists in the Gichik area.
There has been an uptick in violence in the province, with several incidents of terrorism reported this year, targeting both civilians as well as security forces.

It's become so normal now no one even bothers to respond to an unfortunate incident like this.
The victims here are the soldiers suffering always because of disastrous government and its alliance with extremists.

It was a good post until the last sentence. If the govt had an alliance with extremists, why would the extremists be killing govt soldiers? How does that make any sense?
Because thats how extremists operate. India had alliance with LTTE and Indira propped up BhindranWale against Akalis and look at what they ended up. There have been reports of Gaurakshaks beating up BJP members who are their own chaddi-brothers. Even the mighty US ended up in trouble after supporting Mujahiddeen.
Pakistan has gone nuclear. That is the difference between 71 and now.
ruling Indian government says its khalistan and not farmers. are you in disagreement?
Have you visited Gurudwaras in Canada. Khalistan is not only a delusion of Pakistan. wake up.
Are they going to make Khalistan in Canada? There's another group in Deerborn Michigan that wants Shariah in the US of A. You just listen to these and laugh and laugh...
Obviously Gaurav is not on his own. He is a RAW asset as everyone knows. Sleeping agencies don't bring peace to their countries like the ISI have over the last few years
He's a nobody that's making money on YouTube. That's about it. But BJP in general knows how to call ISI's bluff. This govt has acquired multiple capabilities based on Doval's doctrine. Indians will now freely send funds to Islamic terrorists. Everybody knows those terrorists are easy sell outs. Their masters with some cash can control them like puppets. Let's just say Doval has tons more cash than ISI can wish for.
Indians can make stuff up. They will use a local kashmiri chap's name and blow something up in India. They can easily convince it's Pak sponsored. We know what the rest of the world believes. Last I heard Masood Azhar is stuck on a bed with sickness in some remote village. Indians were able to use his name for Pulwama. There are many such names in Pak that can be freely used for propaganda.
India knows Pak won't use nuclear weapons willy nilly as they claim. India also knows Kashmiris are wimps that can be easily controlled. Wait out a generation and the next one is born scared of Indian army machine expecting nothing.
Jihadis are just propaganda peices. That trick has been played way too many times. India's biggest problem is communism and their focus is on that and china. Jihadis and Pak aren't in India's top 5 priorities.
China, Virus, Employment, Elections, Infrastructure are the top 5.
No the ISI has often got the once over India like we can see the Indian media has been crying bucket loads over ISI activity leading to the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan. So on one hand India sends money to terrorists or do you mean the Ksshmiri's here? Even according to the Indian media the Doval game plan has been well defeated by ISI and the Pak military. His plan of using Afghanistan as a base to attack Pak has been dealt with where as IoK keeps burning.
Propaganda is good as the end result otherwise it is all words and accusations. The American's have left India high and dry and surrounded by enemy countries like Pak, China, Afghanistan and possibly Iran. No one really cares about Indian accusations where as the Kashmiris continue to fight their just war with out without Syed Gilani. Well of course using nukes means complete destruction from both, Pulwama, Uri, Pathankot and 26/11 also proved India's inability and how their nukes are just for show too. Pak ain't gonna use nukes unless it's existence is under threat not to liberate IoK.
Oh yes they are, Pak is the biggest problem for India not some jihadi with a Kalashnikov in it's hand threating to blow himself up. Also don't underestimate the growing threat of Hindu terrorism in India together with the never ending farmers protest too. These people are always making the headlines these days for one reason or another either killing or being killed. Pak has to play smart here using Afghanistan to it's advantage now after getting India out of there otherwise why else would India be so interested in what happens there?
The BJP can only spew anger against the Pak military and ISI on their channels, that's all. It is a sign of complete helplessness. All that screaming and shouting leads to nothing at all.
India funds the Baloch. That's well established. If it's not TTP, there will be another terror organization that will take the funds if needed. These things spring up every other day. As far as America is concerned, they cut the chord with the Afghans as they saw no benefit from it. Their main agenda was to kill Bin laden and make sure Afghan soil isn't used for terror on US soil. I think they are convinced that's not going to be the case. They made a mistake obviously thinking they can impose democracy on those crude people but they learned it's impossible after 2 trillion dollars. US going out of Afg is a setback for Pak too. There won't be free cash in billions of dollars from the Americans anymore.
The entire western war machine is now focussed on China. As far as Kashmiris go, they are similar to the Afghan soldiers. It's all talk and no action. People expected blood bath after article 370 abrogation. These days the Kashmiris are happy if they get 3G. I think it's the education that's the difference between crude religious Jihadi nuts and the others like Afghan soldiers or Kashmiris. Once you have a basic level of education, you realize living is better than dying.
As far as Pak is concerned, Nut jobs on the western border is no good. These tribes in FATA and Afg are very unpredictable. Other than China, nobody else even has a potential to make a buck out of Afg. One has to massively invest and hope the country is stable after 20 years when it's time to reap the rewards. Pak is probably more unstable without the US presence in Afg. Nuclear bombs are just for show. India has a no first use policy anyway. It was Pakistan that was bluffing that they have a very low tolerance which has been debunked.
Sure India funds the Baloch although with the defeat in Afghanistan that has been greatly curtailed now hence their screaming. Pal also funds the Khalistanis and supports the Kashmiris in more ways then one. India admits to this where as Pak just winks back! No America's main aim was to keep an eye in China and loot Afghanistan's natural wealth. India like the American's was wanting a government that supports them both. Anything or anyone else who does not do their bidding are terrorists to them. The American's leaving is a big blow to India's hegemony and ambitions of being the main man in the region.
IK made it clear to the American's that we do not want their money at the expense of Pakistani blood. This means that Pak is much more free now then compared to how things were with previous governments. To talk to the Taliban all governments will need Pak on board including the American's too who now have their own massive problems. Much of the world does not even consider them a superpower anymore after this humiliating defeat.
China and Russia to for that matter can look after themselves where as the Kashmir issue will continue to burn India. It is India who is wasting billions in it's occupation and getting it's soldiers killed not Pak. Not that Pak has dealt with India's offensive defence game at the Afghan border we can fully concentrate on the Indian border. This was made very clear to GD Bakshi yesterday then the man was wiping the sweat of his forehead. I will however agree that IK is no way near as aggressive as he should be no thanks to his pacifist views on the Kashmir matter. In this regard India will be happy to hear his views on the Kashmir matter coming from Islamabad. I am afraid IK is a coward when it comes down to the nitty gritty. Pakistan is the ultimate winner in the Afghanistan game but not without it's side effects in the sense that the Taliban will not be Pak's "yes" men.
Pak is more stable with the Taliban in charge of Afghanistan then anyone else being so. There will be no massive Indian back terrorism exported from Afghanistan with them in governance as was the case during their previous regime prior to 9/11. It is not about money as much as it is about peace for Pak allowing us to fully concentrate on India when we know our back side is secure. China has all the money so obviously they will invest as much as they can or are allowed there. First policy or not these things don't matter! India had no first policy on attacking Pak from Afghanistan either! India fully well realises after the Abhinandan episode that next time it will be far harsher for them.

A Pakistani soldier was killed and another injured in what the military says was an attack from across the country’s border with Iran.
“Terrorists targeted a Frontier Corps border post from Iranian territory with small arms fire in general area Chukab, Balochistan,” the Pakistani army said in a statement about the incident on Tuesday.
“Due to fire, Sepoy Maqbool Shah of Frontier Corps [was killed] while another soldier was injured. Iranian authorities concerned have been informed about the incident,” it added.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
The attack occurred following the reopening of the border between the two countries for bilateral trade on September 20, following a four-month closure.
The Pakistan-Iran border runs for roughly 800km (497 miles) along Pakistan’s western and Iran’s eastern side and has been the site of several security incidents in recent years, mainly targeting Iranian forces.

Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid said on Monday that after India faced its "biggest defeat" in Afghanistan, its intelligence agency Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) was now paying local criminals in Pakistan to sabotage peace here.
He made these remarks during a Senate briefing, saying that all members of the upper house of parliament were aware of the situation in Balochistan, where around five to six militant outfits, including Daesh, Tehreek-i-Taliban (TTP) Pakistan, Balochistan Republican Army and some Al Qaeda offshoots, were operating.
But, he assured, "our security forces are vigilant and will continue to take action against terrorists who want to destabilise the country."
'Govt not holding talks with TTP anymore'
Addressing the matter of talks between the government and proscribed TTP today, Rashid said the talks were not being held anymore.
"Talks are not possible with those [elements] who are against the integrity of Pakistan," he underlined.
The minister had on Saturday also revealed that Pakistan did not feature directly in the talks, which were held between the Taliban regime in Kabul and the TTP.

In today's briefing, Rashid said Pakistan had provided some elements, which wanted peace, with a chance for talks. "However, those who raise strong demands that are against the integrity of Pakistan can never be engaged in a dialogue," he said.
Moreover, he said, it was the TTP that violated the ceasefire between both sides, adding that the government “did not contact them after that”.
He also informed the Senate that arrests had been made in the Dasu bus attack case, in which 13 people, including nine Chinese nationals, were killed.
The minister also told the upper house that around 200 kilometres of fencing was left at the Balochistan border with Afghanistan.
Referring to reports of the Afghan Taliban uprooting a portion of the fence along the Pak-Afghan border, he said a portion of fencing was demolished and "it was not along the main line."
He also asked opposition parties to delay their March 23rd rally, saying several foreign dignitaries would visit Islamabad at that time and "there will be strict security" with no room for rallies.
Today's briefing was scheduled in response to an adjournment motion seeking an explanation from the minister over terror incidents in the country. The motion was submitted by the opposition parties on Friday.

At least 10 soldiers were martyred while one terrorist was killed and several others injured as militants opened fire at a check post in Kech district of Balochistan, the military said on Thursday.
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations, the incident took place on the night between Tuesday and Wednesday.
The ISPR further said that three terrorists were also apprehended during the retaliatory action, adding that a follow-up clearance operation is "in progress to hunt down perpetrators of the incident".
The military's media wing said that the armed forces are determined to "eliminate terrorists from our soil no matter what the cost."
Balochistan has been wrecked by ethnic, sectarian, militant and separatist violence fed by a potpourri of groups.
Last month, two security personnel were also martyred during an exchange of fire with terrorists who attacked a security check post in the same district.
In November, two security soldiers were martyred during an engagement with a group of 'externally sponsored terrorists' after their check post was fired upon in the general area Tump.
To prevent the move of these terrorists into built-up areas, security forces responded with all available weapons, in which terrorists suffered heavy losses.
Moreover, two weeks ago, a soldier of the Pakistan Army embraced martyrdom during an exchange of fire with the terrorists in Jani Khel area of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa’s Bannu district.
On January 21, Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa reiterated the resolve of the Pakistan Army to fight against terrorism till its elimination from the country.
The COAS vowed that sacrifices of martyrs would not go in vain and “complete peace will return to Pakistan”.
Paying tribute to brave tribesmen, officers and soldiers of the Pakistan Army, FC, Levies, Khasadar and police, the COAS vowed: “Sacrifices of Shuhada [martyrs] will not go in vain and complete peace will return to Pakistan.”
The army chief also appreciated security forces for providing enabling environment for the completion of socio-economic development projects in the newly merged districts, vital for enduring stability and sustainable progress of the area.

Prime Minister Imran Khan on Friday expressed grief and sorrow over the martyrdom of Pakistan Army soldiers in the Kech district of Balochistan.
Ten soldiers embraced martyrdom after terrorists attacked a security forces' check post in Kech in the night between Tuesday and Wednesday, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement on Thursday.
The media wing of the military said that intense exchange of fire occurred in the “fire raid” by terrorists on the check post. It added that the forces repulsed the attack, killing one terrorist, injuring several others and apprehending three.
Taking to his official Twitter handle, the premier said that Pakistan’s brave soldiers continue to lay down their lives to keep us safe from terrorists.
“I salute the 10 martyred soldiers who repulsed a terrorist fire raid on checkpost in Kech Balochistan. We are resolute in our commitment to rid Pakistan of all forms of terrorism,” PM Imran said in a tweet.
Meanwhile, condolences poured in from the political leadership. Expressing his grief over the incident, Minister of Education Shafqat Mahmood said that no words were enough to salute the soldiers’ courage.
“Every day our brave soldiers and policemen are laying down their lives defending our motherland,” he added.
Minister of Human Rights Shireen Mazari also condoled the martyrdom of the soldiers calling them "our unsung heroes"
Threat of terrorism
Earlier this month, the Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICSS), an Islamabad-based think tank, had said in a report that the country witnessed a 56% surge in militant attacks during the year 2021 after a consistent decline in the attacks during the previous six years.
The PICSS statistics showed that the militants have carried out 294 attacks in 2021 in which 395 people were martyred, including 186 civilians and 192 security forces personnel. At least 629 people were injured, including 400 civilians and 217 security forces personnel. Security forces also killed 188 militants and arrested at least 222 suspected militants during the year, the PICSS report had added.
Last week, Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid addressed a press conference in the federal capital where he spoke about a recent rise in incidents of terrorism in the country. He said that his ministry had alerted the armed forces and civilian law-enforcements agencies, asking them to stay vigilant.
Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif on Friday, while expressing grief over the Kech incident, also warned that the “renewed spate of terrorism is more deadly [and] seeks to reverse the gains we have made.”
“We stand solidly behind our brave soldiers to root out terrorism [and] are proud of their sacrifices,” he added.
