Federal Minister of Parliamentary Affairs Dr Tariq Fazal has refuted social media reports that Pakistan halted its operations against Afghan Taliban.

“The reality is the opposite. In view of the current regional situation, sharing Pakistan Air Force and drone footage with the media has been temporarily stopped. The purpose of this decision is to safeguard national security and operational strategy, not to halt the operations,” he wrote in a post on X.

“Operations continue unabated,” Fazal said, adding that the operation against terrorist elements was “advancing with full intensity and wisdom”.
