MINGORA: Lieutenant General Masood Alam, corps commander of Peshawar, on Wednesday said that successful military operation in Swat saved the entire country from the wave of militancy and terrorism.
He was addressing the soldiers in Frontier Constabulary (FC) camp in Kanju during his visit to Swat district. Operational commander for Swat Major General Ashfaq Nadeem, Brigadier Salman Akbar, Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Police Malakand Division Qazi Jamilur Rehman and Commissioner Malakand Fazal Karim Khattak were also present on the occasion.
The corps commander said the militants were on the run from the area to Afghanistan and other tribal areas. He said those who had been arrested would be produced in the court of law. He said the role of Pakistan Army was to check the foreign aggression and safeguard borders and nobody would be allowed to harm national solidarity.
He said the banned Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) chief Maulana Fazlullah had tried to establish a state within state and challenged the writ of the government. He reminded that the provincial government had held talks and signed peace agreements with the militants but to no avail. The corps commander maintained that the security forces were compelled to take action against the TTP militants as they were carrying out terrorist activities.
