Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Pervaiz Kayani has issued a warning to Afghanistan to stop cross border activities inside Pakistan.
Addressing the concluding ceremony of Pak-Saudi joint military
exercise at Mangla on Thursday Kayani asserted that no such activities
will be tolerated and that Pakistan “possesses the capability to
respond to any situation”.
He said that the militants who fled from the Malakand and Bakjaur
are carrying out attacks inside Pakistani territory, adding that if
army conducts operation in any area it is responsibility of political
administration to run the affairs of the area after the operation.
He said that operation in any area is carried out to improve the law
and order situation, adding that the army could not stay in any area
for permanently.
He said that whichever work had done by army it is done and now it is the turn of the political leadership to move forward.

Kayani said the people of Pakistan and Saudi Arabia share a deep and
strong friendship. On the ongoing joint exercises Kiyani said the
objective of the drill is to counter terrorism.
He said that military operations are not the ideal solution for
every problem, and said that the global community is aware of this fact.
Pak-Saudi joint military exercises took place near Mangla in an
attempt to provide the opportunity to both troops to benefit from each
others training experiences.
Army Chief Ashfaq Pervaiz Kayani and the Saudi chief were also present to monitor the exercises.
During Thursday’s session, both forces successfully attacked the
dummy hideouts of the terrorists. The drill was part of three week
joint military exercise program which aims at sharing information
through inclusive training.
This will also include collective training at unit and brigade level
to observe drills and procedures in low intensity conflict operations. SANA
