Chief of Army Staff (CoAS), General Raheel Sharif said on Thursday that note worthy achievements in operation Zarb-e-Azb have created a space for a decisive surge against terrorists in urban areas and environment is getting ripe for political optimisation towards a meaningful and sustainable closure. During his visit to Command and Staff College, Quetta, he said that only a secure Pakistan could be a prosperous Pakistan. "Our fight against terrorism and extremism is not for today only but for our future generations," he added.
The CoAS said that wars are not fought by armies alone; rather they require whole of the nation's efforts. "Our security threats are complex, multidimensional and hybrid in character." He said that traditional response mechanisms are therefore not relevant anymore. Earlier on arrival at Quetta, the CoAS was received by Commander Southern Command, Lieutenant General Naseer Khan Janjua.
