RAWALPINDI: Chief of Army Staff Qamar Javed Bajwa has made a telephone call to US General John Nicholson, Resolute Support Mission (RSM) Commander in Afghanistan.

The COAS expressed his concerns over continued acts of terrorism in Pakistan with impunity from Afghanistan, says a press release issued here. Most of the incidents in Pakistan are claimed by terrorist organisations with leadership hiding in Afghanistan.

The COAS said that such terrorist activities and inaction against them are testing Pakistan’s current policy of cross border restraint. The COAS asked the Commander RSM to play his role in disconnecting this planning, direction, coordination and financial support.

The COAS also informed him about list of terrorists handed over to Afghan authorities for action against them who have been hiding inside Afghanistan since long. 

The US general expressed his condolences on loss of precious lives in recent terrorist incidents and assured him full assistance in response to his concerns. The general also shared his plans to undertake special coordination at appropriate level among RSM, Afghan Security Forces and Pakistan.
