The DG ISPR said that a few people were arrested in connection with the killing of Hazara miners in Ketch. These are very important arrests but can’t give further details. He also disclosed India’s support for anti-Pakistan militants and said that India had been providing arms, money and new technology to the militants and that the militants were being supported from Afghanistan.

Regarding Waziristan, the DG ISPR said that militants were reacting to the operations in Waziristan, adding that there was no organized group in Waziristan. Minor extremists are carrying out operations that will soon be eliminated.

Asked about the possible withdrawal of coalition forces from Afghanistan and the withdrawal of the Taliban, the DG ISPR said that Afghanistan was no longer in the 1990s. Pakistan has also changed. It is not possible for the Taliban to retake Kabul and for Pakistan to support them. That will never happen.
