During this, 17 terrorists were killed. While the hideouts of the terrorists were destroyed. Similarly, in the operation based on secret information in Kalachi, the hideout of the terrorists was searched and the four terrorists present there were brought to hell, while two soldiers of the Pakistan Army were martyred in the fierce exchange of fire. According to ISPR, these terrorists were involved in several acts of terrorism against the security forces and were also active in killing innocent civilians. During the operation, arms, ammunition and explosives were also recovered from the hideout of the terrorists. Apart from this, terrorists carried out a suicide attack on a checkpoint in Daraban Tehsil, during which there was an exchange of fire between the security forces and the terrorists, and as a result, 25 soldiers of the Pakistan Army were martyred. 
According to ISPR, clearance operations are being conducted to eliminate the terrorists in the area. Pakistan’s security forces are determined to eliminate terrorism in the country. Security has been put on high alert across the province including Peshawar. Due to the law and order situation, security has been put on high alert in red zone, most sensitive police stations, foreign embassies, most important sensitive places in Peshawar. Papers have been postponed in schools and colleges in Dara Bin Tehsil. President Arif Alvi and Caretaker Prime Minister Anwarul Haq Kakar strongly condemned the actions of terrorists in Kalachi, Daraban areas of Dera Ismail and said that such cowardly actions cannot demoralize the security forces. The entire nation salutes the martyrs who sacrificed their lives in the war against terrorism. He paid tribute to the security forces for the successful operation against the terrorists and said that the war against the terrorists will continue till the end of terrorism in the country. Similarly, national political leaders Mian Nawaz Sharif, Mian Shahbaz Sharif, Asif Ali Zardari, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Maulana Fazlur Rehman, governors and chief ministers and federal and provincial ministers also expressed concern over the growing activities of terrorists in their separate statements. Expressed and saluted the martyred security forces. 
According to Nawai Waqt report, Pakistan has strongly protested to the Afghan government regarding the involvement of Afghan elements in terrorism in the country. In this regard, the Afghan Governor of Affairs was summoned to the Foreign Office and a protest letter was given to him. According to media reports, Tehreek Jihad Pakistan, a terrorist group of the outlawed TTP, has accepted the responsibility for the attack on the DI Khan post. In its protest letter, Pakistan has demanded strict action from the Afghan government against the perpetrators of the attack and asked the Kabul administration to take immediate action against terrorist groups and their sanctuaries. The perpetrators of the attack and the leadership of the TTP should be handed over to Pakistan and the Afghan government should not allow its own soil to be used for terrorism against Pakistan. These attacks are yet another reminder of the threat of terrorism to peace and stability in the region and Pakistan is steadfast in its commitment to fight terrorism. 
At this time, while the activities of the country’s general elections have started and all the relevant state and administrative institutions, including the Election Commission, are committed to the elections on February 8, for which all the relevant accessories have been completed, during this time in the country. The intensification of terrorist activities may also be a conspiracy to sabotage Pakistan’s elections. With the return of the Taliban to the power of Kabul from the Afghan territory, the entry of terrorists into Pakistan and the series of heinous acts of terrorism began, which is proof of the Taliban groups’ lack of goodwill towards Pakistan. 
It is a fact that Pakistan paved the way for peace talks between the Taliban and the United States, and as a result of these negotiations, the complete withdrawal of US NATO forces from Afghanistan and the return of the Taliban to the power of Kabul became possible. It was that now during the rule of the Taliban, cold air will come to Pakistan from Afghanistan and Pakistan-Afghanistan relations will deepen as Muslim Brotherhood, but on the contrary, the Taliban returned to power and established traditional relations with Pakistan. Adopted a hostile attitude. The Taliban also pulled down the boundary wire on the Pak-Afghan border mocking Pakistan and insulted the national flag of Pakistan while the Taliban also attacked the Pakistani embassy in Kabul. Unfortunately, the PTI government of the time avoided a strong reaction with the Kabul administration and limited itself to formal protests, while under an agreement with the Taliban government, thousands of outlawed TTP people were killed. Number of people were also allowed to come to Pakistan. Meanwhile, the Taliban extremists imprisoned in a prison in Pakistan got a chance to break the prison and escape. But the PTI government still refrained from taking tough action against the Taliban while they intensified their terrorist activities on Pakistani soil and started challenging the state authority of Pakistan. Khan continued to sympathize with the Taliban. 
When the leader of PTI started a protest movement in the country after the end of the PTI government, according to the confirmed information of our security agencies, the people from Afghanistan, including Taliban terrorists, became part of this movement and Zaman They were also involved in the attacks on the police in the park, while armed Taliban were also involved in the attacks on the buildings and facilities of the security forces on May 9. On this basis, the civil and military leaderships of Pakistan jointly decided a new strategy under the National Action Plan to counter terrorism and gave a deadline to the illegal residents, including Afghans, to leave Pakistan. Not only the Taliban government reacted strongly to this decision of Pakistan, but the terrorist activities, especially the security forces, started to be targeted. 
It is also a fact that with the formation of the watchdog setup in Pakistan, there was an increase in terrorist activities in which most of the outlawed TTP people were involved who have made their safe havens in Afghanistan while Pakistan’s protests against these actions by the Taliban government were never heeded. So, in hindsight, it seems that the Taliban terrorists are targeting their terrorist activities with the facilitation of the Taliban government, especially the security forces in Pakistan under a specific agenda, which aims to bring chaos and political instability to Pakistan. It can only fulfill the ambitions of Indians and other malicious elements of the country to weaken its security by preying on it. 
Indeed, the country’s security forces are committed to permanently rid Pakistan of the scourge of terrorism and do not hesitate to lay down their lives for the protection of the country and the nation. More than two dozen soldiers of Pakistan Army have lost their lives in the operation against the kidneys. In front of this determination of Pakistan Army, no conspiracy of Pakistan’s enemies and ill-wishers can be successful and the whole nation is with its gallant and brave soldiers. At this time, it is necessary to give a strong warning to the Kabul administration by giving a solid message that Pakistan’s security and defense will be strengthened, and to respond to every conspiracy of terrorists and their facilitators against the security of Pakistan. . Nothing can be more dear to us than the security of the country.
