Islamabad:

Chief of Army Staff (Coas) General Syed Asim Munir categorically declared that Pakistan would not allow Fitna-Al-Khawarij to impose their ideology on Pakistan, but left room for possible drug addict if such misleading groups surrender and place themselves in the state’s grace.

The Army Chief, who approached a group of college students, described Fitna-Ale Khawarij-a expression used for terrorists belonging to the forbidden Tehreek-E-Taliban Pakistan (TTP)-as a disturbing group that is unaware of Islam and completely outside its teachings.

This is their Punishment in this world, and in the hence, they will face a severe punishment.
