ISLAMABAD, May 8 (APP):The government has already achieved a great political victory against Taliban by politically disarming them, as people of Pakistan greatly acknowledge government’s failed reconciliatory bid, Director General Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) Major General Athar Abbas said Friday.

In an Interview with Dawn News, he said,each Pakistani knows very well that the government has allowed maximum time to militants to mend ways and let normalcy return. People have seen the real face of Taliban and started realising that their agenda was not Nizam e Adl or Islam.  They have an objective to go beyond Buner, Dir and adjacent areas, he added.

Expressing military’s firm resolve to physically disarm and expel Taliban from the picturesque Swat valley and adjacent areas he said efforts were underway to capture top leadership of Taliban.

He said credible intelligence reports show that poor boys are being trained for suicide bombings by Taliban. The would be bomber include the siblings of the victims of drone attacks.

Some reports suggest that families are being coerced by Taliban to allow their boys to fight with Taliban militants.Military and government alone might not be able to eliminate Taliban.The cooperation of masses is must to achieve complete success,he added.

Taliban are using coercion as their weapon ‑ terrorising people.Using innocent people as human shield. They are getting weapons, fundings from the border areas of Afghanistan.It was impossible to seal border areas touching  with Afghanistan.

Some 4,000 to 5,000 militants are operating in Swat including foreigners,Al Qaeda men from South Waziristan Agency.However majority of Taliban operating in the valley are local.They know the area very well.The terrain is ideal for insurgency.However security forces would eliminate and expel them this time as people are solidly behind the government and military,he concluded.
