Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa has vowed that Operation Radd ul Fasaad will continue to consolidate achievements made in the two-decade-long war on terror and remove terrorist remnants across Pakistan.
The Army Chief stated the operations have continued as the country transitioned from uncertainty to peace in a couple of tweets posted by the ISPR director general on Tuesday to celebrate the completion of five years of Operation Radd ul Fasaad. “The protection of the Pakistani people is RuD’s first goal,” General Bajwa continued.
He went on to say that RuD’s achievements were only achievable because of the blood of martyrs and the Pakistani people’s tenacity. “We admire our martyrs’ ultimate sacrifices and the spirit of our great nation,” the COAS said.
As a result of operations carried out by security forces across Pakistan under the name of Operation Raddul Fasaad, the country has seen a considerable reduction in terrorist activities.
According to reliable sources, the security services dismantled the terrorist organizations’ network while also adopting successful anti-extremism and anti-hate actions.

Tourists are increasingly flocking to the northern parts of the country. Buddhism, Hinduism, and Sikhism devotees flock to Pakistan in significant numbers to see their sacred sites.
“Every Pakistani is a soldier of Operation Radd-ul-Fasaad,” stated Chief of Army Staff Gen Qamar Bajwa when the operation was begun five years ago. Let us work together to make Pakistan safe and strong.”
In just five years, Pakistan’s security forces and people have made the ideal of a peaceful Pakistan a reality. Operation Raddul Fasaad resulted in today’s Pakistan.
