PM reiterates resolve to eliminate externally-sponsored terrorism

LAHORE: Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif on Saturday paid tribute to the security forces for successfully conducting intelligence-based operations against the Indian-sponsored terrorists outfit ‘Fitna al-Hindustan’ in Kolpur, Kardagap and Nushki areas of Balochistan.

As a result of these effective operations, eight terrorists, including a suicide bomber, were killed while a huge cache of arms and ammunition was also recovered.

The prime minister paid glowing tribute to the brave sons of the soil, Major Omar Minhas Nasir and Havildar Muhammad Adnan Khan, who embraced martyrdom while performing routine patrol duties on the Quetta-Taftan National Highway (N-40).

Praying for the elevation of the martyrs’ ranks and strength and patience for their bereaved families, the prime minister said that the entire nation saluted the everlasting sacrifices of its martyrs.

“The enemy is making nefarious attempts to sabotage regional peace by targeting innocent civilians and security personnel. However, our armed forces are fully capable of thwarting every nefarious design of the enemy,” the prime minister said. PM Shehbaz Sharif said, “Operations against externally sponsored terrorism will continue with full force until its complete elimination.”
