If Pakistan is forced to complain about the misuse of Afghan land by the Kabul government, it will be a difficult, unusual and inevitable task for it, because the cultural, and religious relationship of the two neighboring countries has resulted in a significant number of people living on both sides of the border.
The kinship ties, common customs, and trade and employment interests combined have created an environment where large numbers of people cross the border every day and thousands of trucks carrying commercial goods come and go. This is the reason why many countries, including Pakistan, took the lead in the efforts to return foreign forces to Afghanistan during the period of foreign domination, and the fact that the militant groups that emerged and gained strength during the crisis was given special importance. The land should be prevented from being used to harm other countries. But unfortunately this could not happen and the interim government established after the withdrawal of foreign troops from Afghanistan failed to keep the promises made in the Doha talks not to allow its territory to be used for irresponsible purposes. This week on July 15, the firing by the terrorists on the rural health center in Dera Ismail Khan and the attack on the Bannu cantonment in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are part of the operations carried out from the Afghan soil for which there is full evidence.
According to ISPR, security forces personnel effectively foiled the terrorists' attempt to enter the Bannu cantonment, as a result of which the terrorists rammed a vehicle full of explosives against the wall of the cantonment. As a result of the suicide blast, a part of the wall collapsed and adjacent infrastructure was damaged. Due to which 8 brave sons of Pakistan Army sacrificed themselves for the motherland. While the security forces killed all 10 terrorists in retaliation. 2 lady health workers, 2 children and a watchman were martyred as a result of indiscriminate firing by terrorists at the Rural Health Center of Kari Shamuzai area of ??Dera Ismail Khan. 3 terrorists were killed in a quick clearance operation by the security forces. While two security personnel were martyred. The officers who were martyred in Bannu and Dera Ismail Khan are the sons of the nation who will always be remembered. According to ISPR, security operation is going on to eliminate hidden terrorists. The government of Pakistan has reacted strongly to these incidents and the Deputy Head of Mission of the Afghan Embassy was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and demanded that the interim Afghan government conduct a full investigation of the incident and take immediate, effective and comprehensive action against those responsible for the attack and stop such attacks against Pakistan from Afghan soil.
According to the Foreign Office, the attacks were carried out by the Hafiz Gul Bahadur group, which is carrying out terrorist activities in Pakistan from Afghan soil. Responding to the above-mentioned incidents of terrorism in Pakistan, the US Foreign Office has said that we have a common interest with Pakistan in dealing with threats to regional security. It is also impossible to deny the fact that such incidents are a cause of concern for all countries in the region, including Central Asia, regarding the location of Pakistan and Afghanistan. The Kabul government should be aware of the fact that the terrorist organizations present on Afghan soil are endangering the security of not only Pakistan but the entire region while such incidents are against the spirit of mutual relations between the two brotherly countries. However, Afghanistan current set up is not making any efforts to deal with the Taliban who are becoming a security threat to Pakistan and the entire region. Every day we hear of terrorits attacks in Pakistan, especially the KP and Balochistan provinces. Few ways back, in an exchange of fire with forces in Hasan Khel area of ??Peshawar, three terrorists including high-profile commander Abdul Rahim were killed while 4 soldiers of the forces were martyred. The terrorist commander was involved in the attack on Captain Hussain Jahangir Shaheed and Havaldar Shafiqullah Shaheed on May 26. According to ISPR, the main culprit of this incident has been made to face the music. The government had set a price of 60 lakh rupees on his head. Among the martyrs are 24-year-old Swabi soldier Badam Gul, Mohammad Idris, CTD sub-inspector Taj Mir Shah and ASI Muhammad Akram are included.
The security forces of Pakistan are busy day and night putting their lives on the line to protect their citizens and completely rid the country of terrorism. As a result of Operation Zarb Azb and Raad al-Fasaad, a large number of them fled to Afghanistan and the rest went underground. After the establishment of the Taliban government in Afghanistan, they got the courage to reemerge, but the country's security forces, who had already searched Operations are continuing and many wanted terrorists have been killed or arrested in many incidents. Despite this, terrorists are always waiting for an opportunity for their nefarious intentions and those of their masters, and most of the incidents are being carried out in the border areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan. In this regard, their facilitators cannot be ignored, who are as guilty as the terrorists. For regional peace and stability, development, prosperity, increasing mutual trade and ending terrorism, mutual cooperation among the neighboring countries of the region is indispensable.
In this regard, in the tripartite conference of foreign ministers of Pakistan, China and Afghanistan in Islamabad last year, these important issues were discussed in detail, which have been expressed in the form of a joint declaration. Apart from participating in the conference, the foreign ministers also held separate meetings with each other and taking advantage of the opportunity, the guest foreign ministers also met with Army Chief General Asim Munir on important issues and issues including regional security and combating terrorism were discussed. Recently, during the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation moot in Dushanbe and Aastana, the PM Shahbaz highlighted the security issue of the Afghanistan and had highlighted the significane of the peaceful Afghanistan, which he said is in the interest of the Pakistan and the entire region.
As such the Afghan Govt should make efforts to tame the terrorists on its soil and do not let them use the Afghan soil against Pakistan or any other country of the region,
