‘Afghan elite' sheltering terrorists for Indian funds: DG ISPR
PESHAWAR: Calling the people of Afghanistan brothers, DG ISPR Lt General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry on Sunday accused the 'Afghan gentry' of giving refuge to terrorists in lieu of money received from the Indian government. Speaking to over 2,500 students from different universities of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), who held a special sitting with him, he urged Afghanistan not to play into the hands of India. The DG ISPR said the time had come for Kashmir's independence. Govt vows decisive action against 'India-sponsored' terrorists after Khuzdar attack He further said that India was under the impression that Pakistan might not defend itself as there existed a gulf between its people and the armed forces. 'But the nation, by standing with their armed forces, proved the enemy wrong,' he said, and added, 'This was a strategic miscalculation on the part of India.' Pakistanis, he went on to say, had always been like this and would remain so. Lt Gen Chaudhry made it clear to India that if it attacked Pakistan again, the latter's response would be even tougher. 'We decided to attack 26 sites in India,' the DG said, adding that the Pakistan Air Force destroyed those air bases from where the Indian Air Force's jets flew to kill innocent Pakistani men, women and children. 'Likewise, we destroyed the brigade headquarters on whose orders shells were dropped on Muzaffarabad and which had resulted in the martyrdom of a seven-year-old Irtaza.' Carrying national flags in their hands, the students shouted slogans of 'Pakistan hamesha zindabad' and 'Kashmir bane ga Pakistan.' The Pakhtun students, on the occasion, vowed that they would not spare the enemies of the country and inflict a humiliating defeat on them.

PHOTO: EXPRESS Two more students, Sheema Ibrahim and Muskan, embraced martyrdom while receiving treatment in a Quetta hospital, raising the number of students martyred in the recent terrorist attack on a school bus in Khuzdar, Balochistan, to eight, according to security sources. The total death toll has risen to 10. Security officials confirmed that among those martyred are seven female students and one male student. On the day of the suicide bombing, Sania Soomro (Grade 6), Hafsa Kausar (Grade 7), and Ayesha Saleem (Grade 10) were among the first to embrace martyrdom. Later, Haider, Malaika, and Sehr Saleem also succumbed to their injuries while receiving medical treatment, security officials said. According to intelligence sources, the attack was planned and sponsored by the terrorist state of India. "The blood of these innocent children will not go unavenged. Those behind this — including the Indian handlers and their local agents — will be held accountable," security officials stated. During a press briefing in Rawalpindi on Friday DG ISPR Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said that the attack was not just on a school bus, but an attack on our values, education, and the fabric of our society. "Our response will be decisive. They will not succeed," said the interior secretary. DG ISPR said that India-sponsored attackers have no humanity, morality, and Baloch or Pakistani identity, adding that India has been involved in state-sponsored terrorism for 20 years, destabilising regional peace. He pointed out that in 2009, Pakistan had presented a dossier to the United Nations with evidence of India's involvement in terrorist activities in Balochistan.
