"With the entire nation standing behind the Armed forces in the fight against terror, Pakistan is bound to defeat all internal and external perpetrators of terrorism," Director General Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Asim Bajwa quoted the army chief as saying in a tweet.

Read: LoC violations: India in bid to distract us from war on terror, says Raheel

The statements come a day after General Raheel said that continuous ceasefire violations by India along the Line of Control (LoC) and the Working Boundary could not distract Pakistan from its war on terror, warning that the military could handle two different wars.

General Raheel visited forward locations along the LoC on Thursday where he met with troops deployed on heights overlooking the Kashmir valley.

Sajjad Ashraf | 9 years ago | Reply Thank you Chief for demonstrating leadership. Shame on Mr. Nawaz Sharif who runs away on important national and religious occasions. His businesses are dearer to him than the country he claims to be PM. Stay out Mr. Sharif or Keep him out - for the sake of people of Pakistan.

Bairooni Haath | 9 years ago | Reply Is the term terrorist as defined internationally or terrorist as defined by Pakistan military?

Shaikh Mohommad | 9 years ago | Reply Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif reiterated on Friday Pakistan’s resolve to defeating all internal and external perpetrators of terrorism. http://tribune.com.pk/story/963077/pakistan-bound-to-defeat-all-perpetrators-of-terrorism-army-chief/ What we see are the casualties suffered both by the Army and the terrorists. Isn't it time for someone in the Government to say "enough is enough" and bring this war to an end. OR will it continue till doomsday? We have been given this line that terrorists are being killed and defeated. What we see, then, is again some attacks by terrorists on the Army personnel resulting in death of soldiers. US drone strikes is also a main factor in continuing this war. Perhaps saying no to American war on terror may bring some results.
