Pakistan Army Chief: No Terrorist can Escape Justice

DID Press: Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff, General Asim Munir, said during a visit to Quetta, the capital of Balochistan province, that no terrorist or facilitator would be spared from accountability or punishment.

Munir stressed that violence and terrorist acts cannot be justified under any pretext, adding that security forces will deal decisively and in accordance with the law with all perpetrators and supporters of terrorism.

During the visit, officials briefed him on ongoing military operations against groups the Pakistani government refers to as “Fitna-e-Hindustan,” a term used for militant groups Islamabad claims are backed by India and are seeking to undermine peace, stability, and development in Balochistan.

The visit comes amid large-scale security operations aimed at clearing various parts of Balochistan of armed groups, including the Baloch Liberation Army, with the military emphasizing the strengthening of state authority and the protection of critical infrastructure.

Despite these efforts, Balochistan remains one of Pakistan’s most volatile provinces, where government security measures have so far failed to fully contain insurgency and terrorism.
