Brig (Retd) Said Nazir (Defense Analyst): Pakistan had been badly affected by the instability in Afghanistan as the war-torn country was the haven for the militants. Pakistan has the professional army that destroyed the hideouts of the militants in tribal areas. Operation Radd-ul-Fasad was initiated to eliminate the threats of terrorism across the country. The nation supported the security forces in this regard and rendered matchless sacrifices. Pakistan has played a role of facilitators in finalization of peace agreements between the United States and Afghan Taliban. The world has acknowledged that Pakistan is the only country that defeated terrorism without the support of any other country and with its own resources.
