Attack on Jaffer Express

Until I hear from a government body, I will accept the official figures released.

Secondly, please dont dismiss the operation as some simple policing operation.

I am proud of our Army and Security forces for rescuing innocent civilians and returning them to their loved ones.
Last time Bharat had to hire the Israili & SA commandos after toiling for 10s of hours, and that too at the heart of their financial and cultural capital....
 
Make an offer to India
Say that Pakistan is willing to take 30 crore Indian Muslims with them along with Kashmir Valley

Their might be some within BJP who might agree to such a deal.

But I am pretty sure 29 crore out of 30 crore Indian Muslims will refuse to go to Pakistan.

Aakhir kisne mulk chor Kar Aate ki line mein lagna hai

They are not welcome in Pakistan

Pakistan is for Pakistani citizens and they are not Pakistani citizens

They have their own land and areas, all we want is for the Muslim population of South Asia not to be subjected to a hindutva extremist state, laws and injustice

That was the whole point of partition

So get Kashmir free as a starting point and then create areas is autonomy or complete freedom and partition for Indian Muslims
 
They were hostages, I guess. However, I still don't believe the official sources until independent journalists visit there or survivors are to speak.
How did we get to the hostage situation when a similar train bombing occurred 1 month ago?

Hibernation & incompetency the two medals of Pak fauj & state for over a decade

It's been a decade since that incident.

Whilst for us it's a daily occurrence
 
You're whitewashing the incident anyways am out enjoy your successful operation.

Allah aapko aisay successful mahinay mein aik baar zarur dein.

Continue the success
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.....

Despite all the failures one take-away is: the Pak Deep State doesn't bother to take causalities to further its goals. A one third of the male folks (total pop: 25m) embraced Shahdat even while the Ottoman Empire was going down. On the other hand, for a country with 1.4b folks and nuclear weapons, the death of even 20 soldiers is like too much; so, she cedes 2K km2 of her land, and that too in the 21st century.....

Now, the entire Baluchistan is in the complete grip of the Pak Deep State with the public consensus. Not to mention it's teeming with the natural resources that President Trumps wants at the expense of Ukraine and an extremely important geo-strategic location with a deep sea port overlooking the energy supply route that feeds the Western Europe, China, Japan, SK, ASEAN etc. All of it's coercive and brutal actions inside Baluchistan and Afganistan become Halal now. I have read that they want to irrigate 45m acres of barren land in Baluchistan by bringing in water by canals. This RAW ops has become a blessing in disguise for the Pak Deep State. Therefore, it'll welcome more if needed.....

Railway station bombing? The only similarity is that both times there were forces personnel movements on holiday. Perhaps, BLA have an insider or they intercept WhatsApp or SMS (or some agency helps them.)
This incident was a total failure as BLA 100 members were waiting near the tunnel. They killed already deployed FC men near the tunnel (members please confirm). If that's so, it means BLA have FC talkies and codes and they did the 'ok' check and the train entered into the ambussh thinking it was safe.
 
When India starts handing out free land, should we also throw in some gulab jamun?
Man.. Pak still has some of the Kargil peaks and China has already taken several kilometres of land. Anyway, India still has a large portion of occupied land as per Pak's perspective, so cheers.

You are just lucky Maoists and Naxalites are not armed as TTP and BLA. Balochistan and FATA have always been tough to rule since the Ghaznavids. The British had difficult times, so are we having.

Let's not derail or we get banned.
 

Calls related to Jaffar Express hijacking traced back to Afghanistan: FO

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Thursday said that Pakistan had evidence of calls related to the Jaffar Express hijacking incident being traced to Afghanistan but reaffirmed that it was India that was trying to “destabilise its neighboring countries”.

The hijack occurred on Tuesday afternoon when the train, travelling from Quetta to Peshawar and carrying 440 passengers, was ambushed by the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) terrorists. They opened fire on the train and held the passengers hostage, prompting the security forces to initiate an operation that lasted two days.

On Wednesday evening, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry confirmed that the operation had been concluded, with 33 terrorists present at the site of the attack neutralised.

The ISPR chief also confirmed that 21 passengers and four Frontier Corps personnel lost their lives in the hijacking, but no hostages were harmed during the final rescue phase.

During a weekly press briefing today, Foreign Office spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan was questioned whether Pakistan had a shift in stance from India to Afghanistan over involvement in terrorist attacks on Pakistan.

In response, he said, “There is no shift in our policy. And again, the facts have not changed. India is involved in sponsoring terrorism against Pakistan. What I was referring to was, in this particular incident, we have evidence of calls being traced to Afghanistan. This is what I said.”
 
Khan added that Pakistan had been a victim of terrorism that was planned, orchestrated and sponsored by forces who were operating outside the country’s borders.

’In our region, unfortunately, we have many forces against peace who do not want to see Pakistan reap the dividends of its unprecedented and sincere efforts in counter-terrorism and in building a peaceful region,“ he said.

The spokesperson added that the terrorist attack against Jaffar Express was also “orchestrated and directed by terrorist ring leaders operating from abroad”.

“Our security forces successfully eliminated all 33 terrorists, including suicide bombers, while rescuing the hostages,” the spokesperson said.

“Terrorists were in direct communications with Afghanistan-based planners throughout the incident,” he said.

Relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan have been strained due to frequent border skirmishes and Islamabad repeatedly demanding that Kabul take action against the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) for using Afghan soil to launch attacks in Pakistan. Kabul denies the allegations.

“Pakistan has repeatedly asked the interim Afghan government to deny the use of its soil for terrorist groups like BLA for their attacks against Pakistan,” he added.

The spokesperson urged Afghanistan to hold perpetrators, organisers, and financiers of this “reprehensible act of terrorism accountable and cooperate with the government” to bring all those who are concerned with this attack, including the real sponsors of terrorism, to justice.

“We know how India has been trying to destabilise its neighbouring countries,”
he said, adding that India has been running a global assassination campaign.
 
Khan said that Pakistan’s basic approach towards Afghanistan centred on developing friendly, cooperative relations, which remained the key goal.

“We have long-standing relations with Afghanistan, and there are layers of complementarities between the two countries like language, history, cultural affinity, and religion, but the terrorism remains the core obstacle, which is preventing the relations to develop further,” he said.

He said that the relations between the two countries were dynamic and the state kept adjusting it, adding that the FO will brief on the details in the days to come.

“Regarding dialogue with Afghanistan, we do not have any high-level interaction, but embassies of both countries are working, and diplomatic channels are active,” he said.

He said that terrorist elements like TTP and other terrorist organisations enjoyed sanctuaries in Afghanistan.

“This remains a stumbling block, a serious problem on the way of promoting deeper friendly relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan,” he said.

“We have been pressing Afghan authorities to tackle and handle this problem, and we will continue to press them to take necessary actions in this regard,” he added.
 
During his presser yesterday, DG ISPR Lt Gen Chaudhry had also doubled down on the use of Afghan soil in the attack, saying: “Intelligence reports have unequivocally confirmed that the attack was orchestrated and directed by terrorist ring leaders operating from Afghanistan, who were in direct communication with the terrorists throughout the incident.

Pakistan expects the Interim Afghan Government to uphold its responsibilities and deny use of its soil for terrorist activities against Pakistan.”

Pakistan has lately witnessed a surge in terrorist activities, particularly in Khyber Paktunkhwa and Balochistan. February saw a marginal increase in terrorist attacks but a sharp surge in civilian casualties, per a report published by the Islamabad-based think tank, Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICSS).
