Op Zarb-e-Azb targeting all terror groups: Jalil Abbas
WASHINGTON: Pakistan’s Ambassodar to the United States, Jalil Abbas Jilani said allegations that Pakistan is supporting militants are baseless and unfounded.
In an interview with American news outlet, the envoy said over 4000 terrorists have been killed in Operation Zarb-e-Azb. He pointed out that all terrorist groups including Haqqani network were targeted without any discrimination.
The Ambassador rejected Indian claims of conducting ‘surgical strikes’ and said Modi government is trying to calm its people. ‘We don’t want to escalate tensions between the two nuclear-armed states but Pakistan reserves the right to defend itself.’
He said we are also fighting battle against the proxies of cold war era.
India has violated the Saarc charter by refusing to attend Islamabad summit, he added.
