ISLAMABAD, (APP): Pakistan’s Ambassador to France
Ghalib Iqbal has said that the country acted with resolve after
terrorists’ attack in Peshawar and since then, the military
operation against terrorists had been moving forward smoothly.
It would be helpful not only to Pakistan but also to the
entire region, he said during an interview in a programme, aired
by France-24 in the wake of Lahore attack.
During the hour-long debate, Ghalib said that the lives
lost in terror attack in Lahore, were Pakistan’s loss and they
felt sad about this.
“The factual situation is that terrorists attacked the
children and women of Pakistan; they are on the run since we
started a military operation against them,” he added.
Responding to a query he said, Pakistan had done a lot
according to the National Action Plan.
Pakistan was moving towards a direction `whereby we can
eliminate the terrorists completely,’ he added.
To another question, Ambassador said the world should
know that Pakistan was also facing problems from other
countries.
Recently, Pakistan arrested a serving Indian Navy commander
who was involved in subversive activities in Pakistan, Ghalib
said, adding the Indian spy was presented to the media with his
complete confessional statement.
The Ambassador said there was no resurgence of terrorist
elements as they were on the run and finding it difficult to
conduct attacks in Pakistan.
