Pakistan targeting terrorists indiscriminately: DG ISPR

Maj Gen Asim Bajwa says India had shown rigidity in ties despite efforts from Pakistan to normalise ties

Director-General Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) Major General Asim Bajwa has said indiscriminate action is being taken against terrorists in Operation Zarb-e-Azb, adding that Pakistan will put an end to terrorism at all costs.

During an interview to the BBC, Maj-Gen Bajwa said that they were not distinguishing between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ Taliban during the ongoing Operation Zarb-e-Azb.

Talking about border tensions with neighbouring India, the ISPR chief said that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had made efforts to improve ties with India, but the latter failed to show any flexibility.

He added that India had been invited for DG-level talks, and Nawaz had also met Prime Minister Narendra Modi but to no avail.

In return, all India had done was show rigidity, and stopped secretary-level talks and wrongly accused Pakistan.
