The spokesperson emphasized Pakistan’s concern that FAK/TTP leadership operates freely from Afghan soil, despite repeated assurances from the Afghan Taliban regime. Pakistan has urged the regime to take immediate, concrete, and verifiable measures against all terror groups active within its territory, including their leadership.
The Foreign Office also warned that Pakistan reserves the right to respond and neutralize members of FAK and its affiliates wherever they may be, in order to safeguard its soldiers, civilians, and territorial integrity.
