The caretaker Prime Minister (PM) Anwaarul Haq Kakar on January 11 said militants had decided to fight against the State and therefore, the State had no choice but to fight that war with wisdom and courage, reports Dawn. “This is their [militants’] own choice to become suicide bombers and assassins, so they don’t deserve sympathy,” PM Kakar said during a Police darbar at the Governor’s House in Peshawar. PM Kakar said the nation never forgot the 2014 massacre of children at Peshawar’s Army Public School, so militants had lost the “sympathy they used to enjoy 20 years ago.” The State would fight against all those people, who subscribed to militant ideology, adds PM Kakar.

The Army said on February 8 that 51 terrorist attacks took place in the lead-up to the general elections, aimed at disrupting the polling process, reports The Nation. “Despite 51 cowardly terrorist attacks, mostly in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Balochistan, aimed at disrupting the electoral process, the soldiers remained resolute and effectively ensured peace and security across Pakistan,” the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement. As many as 12 people — including 10 personnel of Security Forces and law enforcement agencies — embraced martyrdom, and 39 others have been injured in these attacks, ISPR added. In Balochistan, the general elections saw a significant disruption, characterized by a series of armed attacks on polling stations, a marked public rejection of the electoral process, and notably low voter turnout was also reported. The coastal regions, including Gwadar, Jiwani, and Pasni, also witnessed bombings near polling stations. Notably, in Gwadar, 14 explosions occurred near polling stations and the vehicle of the Assistant Commissioner, injuring two officials. Despite the Information Minister’s assurances of security, the election lead-up saw over 125 incidents targeting the election campaigns, with Baloch Raji Aajoi Sangar (BRAS), a coalition of ‘pro-independence’ Baloch insurgent groups, claiming responsibility for 112 attacks in just ten days before the election day.

Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif on March 20 stated that Pakistan will not tolerate any more cross-border terror attacks on its soil, reports ARY News. Chairing the Federal Cabinet meeting in Islamabad, PM Shehbaz Sharif said security of the geographical frontiers of Pakistan is a redline. Pakistan desires to have cordial relations with the neighbouring fraternal countries to promote trade and economic relations. However, it is not acceptable that the land of the neighbouring country is used for terrorism in Pakistan, he added. Shehbaz Sharif proposed the formulation of a joint strategy with the sincerity of purpose to defeat the scourge of terrorism. He said collective efforts against terrorism will help establish peace in the region and address other issues such as that of poverty.

The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) on March 21 released a detailed statement regarding what it calls the fourth phase of “Operation Zir Pahazag,” carried out by its elite unit, the Majeed Brigade, against Pakistani intelligence facilities in Gwadar on March 20, reports The Balochistan Post. According to the BLA, the operation targeted the headquarters of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and Military Intelligence (MI), allegedly resulting in over 25 deaths among various branches of the Security Forces (SFs). The BLA statement said “six personnel, including two commissioned officers of Pakistani military intelligence, eight personnel of ISI and 12 personnel of Pakistani navy and military were eliminated in the attack. Eight fidayeen of BLA Majeed Brigade fought valiantly and made the ultimate sacrifices during today’s attack.” The BLA spokesperson, Jeeyand Baloch, said that the attack, near Marine Drive in Gwadar, involved several hours of heavy combat, including engagement with Pakistani navy commandos and the neutralization of multiple members of Pakistani death squads. Earlier, different media sources quoting Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) statement reported that two SF personnel and eight terrorists were killed in the attack.

The Defense Minister Khawaja Asif on March 23 stated that his country does not desire an armed conflict with Afghanistan, following Islamabad’s airstrikes on alleged terrorist hideouts across the border, reports Pakistan Today. In an interview with Voice of America (VoA), Asif emphasized, “Force is the last resort. We do not want to have an armed conflict with Afghanistan.” He cautioned that Pakistan could block the corridor it provides to landlocked Afghanistan for trade with India if Kabul fails to curb anti-Pakistan terrorists operating on Afghan soil, questioning the rationale behind providing this corridor if Afghanistan treats Pakistan as an enemy. Asif highlighted the surge in terror attacks in Pakistan since the Taliban regained power in Afghanistan in August 2021. He noted that a message needed to be sent that cross-border terrorism has become intolerable. He expressed Pakistan’s desire to convey to the de facto rulers in Kabul that the current situation is untenable. Regarding Pakistan’s interactions with the Taliban, the Defence Minister stated that during a visit to Kabul in February 2023, he advised Taliban Ministers to not let past “favours” from the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) tie Kabul’s hands. He warned, “If they [TTP] can harm us, then we’ll be forced to [retaliate].” Asif expressed hope that Afghanistan would meet the “single demand” of reining in the TTP, thereby preventing the need for future military strikes from Pakistan.

In a recent statement, Shahin Baloch, a ‘leader’ of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) accused Pakistan of forcibly integrating Balochistan into the country under the guise of Islam, The Balochistan Post reported on April 23. Despite 74 years passing, Balochistan continues to be deprived of all basic amenities. Shahin Baloch claimed that after seizing all resources of Balochistan, the rulers in Islamabad are callously enriching themselves while Balochistan languishes in poverty. Recent torrential rains have devastated various parts of Balochistan, with floods causing extensive damage and claiming numerous lives. However, the aid intended for the flood victims has yet to reach them, neither from Islamabad nor from the provincial authorities, TTP leader said.

The Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on April 25 once again put forward the proposal to engage in negotiations with the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), reports The Khorasan Diary. "We must consider the possibility of dialogue if terrorists are willing to renounce terrorism. The situation must be approached realistically. Lives are being lost on both sides, and the only way to halt this is to pursue peaceful means. This does not imply any form of surrender to the terrorists. Talks will only proceed if they agree to respect the Pakistani state and constitution. Members of the TTP have been in contact with me, discussing their issues. At times, when the TTP has issues with the Pakistan army, they communicate it through me," stated Barrister Muhammad Ali Saif, Advisor to the Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Information and Public Relations. Barrister Muhammad Ali Saif, underscored the gravity of the recent surge in terrorist attacks, labelling it as a national crisis, reports The Express Tribune. He emphasized that the targeted assaults on Security Forces and customs officials across KP demand unified action from the Government, Police, Army, and other law enforcement agencies to combat the scourge of terrorism effectively.

The Ministry of Defense of Afghanistan said on May 8 that recent remarks by the spokesperson of the Pakistani Army, claiming that the soil of Afghanistan is being used by the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) against Islamabad, are far from reality, reports The Balochistan Post. Enayatullah Khwarazmi, the spokesperson for Afghanistan’s Ministry of Defense, also said that occasionally the soil of Pakistan is used against Afghanistan, and ISIS elements enter Afghanistan from there. According to the spokesperson, the area where Chinese citizens were targeted in an explosion is under intense security coverage by Pakistan’s Army. Khwarazmi added “We have cases where ISIS extremists have entered Afghanistan from Pakistan and are using Pakistani soil against our land. Pakistan must answer for this.”

Pakistan’s Special Representative on Afghanistan Asif Ali Durrani on May 10 regretted that the TTP attacks in Pakistan emanating from Afghanistan have significantly increased since the Afghan Taliban took over Kabul, reports Dawn. Speaking at a seminar on ‘The Challenge of Cross-Border Terrorism’ organised by the Institute of Regional Studies (IRS), Mr Durrani said peace in Afghanistan seemed a tall order for now and, therefore, they would have to live with the neighbouring country and manage the affairs with Afghanistan accordingly. “Earlier, it was hoped that with the arrival of the Taliban, the security situation on the Pak-Afghan border would improve but unfortunately the attacks emanating from Afghanistan had increased by 60pc in the last two years,” said Mr Durrani.

A research report, ‘Pakistan’s Evolving Militant Landscape: State Responses and Policy Options’, released by Islamabad-based think tank Pak Institute for Peace Studies (PIPS) on May 14 said the Provincial Counter Terrorism Departments (CTDs) lack clarity on militant groups’ dynamics, connections and operational strategies, apart from facing issues related to coordination, funding and intelligence gathering, reports Dawn. While CTDs have established their own specialised intelligence units and analysis wings to study militant behaviour, they often lack skills to process data effectively and remain largely dependent on premier intelligence agencies. The report said that funding issues plague CTDs except in Punjab, whose counterterrorism department has adequate funding. It recommended Pakistan establish a robust implementation mechanism for national extremism and security policies, including the revised National Action Plan (NAP).

Meanwhile, contrary to the Government’s official data, the number of deaths and attacks is higher.

Islamabad High Court's (IHC) Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani on May 21 said that the court has only objection to spy agencies' "unlawful work" and not the operations they perform lawfully, reports Geo News. "No one has any objection to the work of the [spy] agencies, the objection is [only limited] to the unlawful work," Justice Kayani said while hearing a case pertaining to the implementation of the recommendations of the commission on Baloch missing persons. Justice Kayani stressed that the court does not want to prevent judges, lawyers, journalists, parliamentarians and spy agencies from operating as per the law, but only objects to them working unlawfully. The judge's remarks come a day after he, while hearing a case relating to the recovery of missing Kashmiri poet and journalist Ahmed Farhad Shah, was irked by authorities' failure to recover the poet and had questioned whether spy agencies would run the country or the law. "Now the matter has gone beyond the jurisdiction of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and the Military Intelligence (MI). They are talking about their failure," Justice Kayani had said in response to the Ministry of Defence's remarks saying that Shah wasn't in ISI's custody. The remarks then warranted a strong response from the Federal Government with Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar stressing that the court didn't have the mandate to drag senior military officers and Government officials to the court in the case of a missing person. "This is not the mandate of the court, the court is a platform for providing justice in line with the law and Constitution," Tarar had said during a press conference in Islamabad, as the rift grows between institutions.

The Pakistan Army on May 22 reiterated its concerns over the use of Afghan soil by militants, saying that there has been a surge in infiltration attempts by terrorists at the Pak-Afghan border as well as terror incidents orchestrated from the neighbouring country, reports Daily Times. “Terrorists from Afghanistan attempt to infiltrate through Pak-Afghan border and target security forces as well as the innocent civilians,” said the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR). Recalling that Islamabad has time again urged the interim Afghan government to ensure effective border management on their part, the ISPR called on the neighbouring country to fulfil its obligations and deny the use of Afghan soil by terrorists for perpetrating acts of terrorism against Pakistan.
