Operation Ghaziabad-ul-Haq
The forum reviewed ongoing operations against terrorists and their infrastructure under Operation Ghaziabad-ul-Haq.
It was stated that the illogical and misleading policy of the Afghan Taliban regime provides safe havens to Khawarij and other terrorist groups.
The forum said this support is against the interests of the Afghan people. It added that such actions have been exposed.
It was also said that the Afghan Taliban regime falsely alleges that Pakistan is targeting civilians inside Afghanistan.
The forum said that these claims are part of a disinformation campaign that wants to divert attention from internal issues.
Pakistan rejected these allegations and said its operations are based only on verified targets, including terrorist hideouts and infiltrators.
The forum also reviewed the regional security situation. It noted that current geopolitical developments may affect regional stability.
It also stressed the importance of avoiding tensions and exercising restraint. Further, it said that Pakistan continues to support efforts for stability and de-escalation in the region.
The conference emphasised that peace and stability depend on mutual respect, responsibility, and respect for sovereignty.

The Field Marshal also congratulated the nation and the armed forces on the completion of the commemorative year of the Marka-e-Haq. He called it an important milestone.
He said it reflects national unity, resolve, and commitment to protect Pakistan’s sovereignty at all costs.
The forum stated that observing the Marka-e-Haq at the national level sends a clear message that Pakistan is united, strong, and fully prepared.
It also said the event reflects strong coordination between the people, government, and armed forces.
Violence in IIOJK
