Taking an exception to unwarranted accusations and threats against Pakistan in the aftermath of Kabul blast, Corps Commanders Conference on Tuesday urged Kabul to look inward and identify the real issues instead of blaming Islamabad, the military said in a statement.
The country’s top commanders met at a Special Corps Commanders Conference that reviewed regional environment in the backdrop of a recent terrorist attack in Afghan capital that killed over 100 people last week, said the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), media wing of the army.
Expressing solidarity with the people of Afghanistan and security forces on loss precious loves, the Corps Commanders vowed to support and cooperation with Afghanistan in fight against terrorism and militancy.
“While reaffirming continued support to regional peace and stability, the forum reiterated Pak Army’s resolve to defend the motherland against all types of threat.
Meanwhile, President Ashraf Ghani issued an ultimatum to the Taleban on Tuesday (June 6), warning them to embrace peace or “face consequences” after announcing that the death toll from last week’s devastating truck bombing had passed 150.
The president made a strong plea for peace at an international conference on Afghanistan attended by around two dozen countries, which was held under tight security as armoured vehicles patrolled the streets and fighter jets roared over the capital.
The death toll has jumped to more than 150 people, while over 300 wounded were brought to hospitals, many with burns and amputations, Ghani told the conference.
“We are a nation of survivors. Terrorists can shed our blood but they cannot break our will,” he said.
