Islamabad: Oct 28, 2020 (TNS): Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa has said we will not take backseat till we take terrorists and their facilitators to the task.

He said innocent children of Army Public School Peshawar were targeted on 16 December 2014 and on yesterday the enemy once again organized blood bath at the seminary students to again fulfill its nefarious designs and repeat the black history.

The Army Chief said majority of these children were of Afghan origin. He said in past, the entire nation had demonstrated unprecedented unity in rejecting terrorists’ narrative and today also we are one under same passion and sentiments. He said our grief was common yesterday and even today it is same. He said the nation had rejected the enemy and defeated terrorist narrative in past and we are united to face this menace jointly.

The Army Chief said Pakistan and Afghanistan have been facing terrorism for last two decades. He said Pakistanis opened their hearts and doors for their refugee brethren. He said we have common bad and good times as peace in Pakistan and Afghanistan is interlinked. He said terrorism has no religion and spreading fear in society is the sole ideology of terrorists. He said attack on Madrassah reflects enmity with Islam. Madrassahs, mosques, Imam Bargahs, temples, churches, educational institutions, law enforcement agencies and innocent citizens became victims of terrorists. He said Pakistan has always been desirous of peace in Afghanistan and will continue extending its cooperation in this regard. He urged Afghan refugees to remain watchful of forces of enemy so that they cannot be used either intentionally or unintentionally for terrorist activities.
