ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Friday said that the ceasefire with Afghanistan was not holding, as attacks by terrorist outfits continued inside Pakistan, using the Afghan soil as the understanding was purely meant to cease such attacks.Foreign Office spokesperson Tahir Andrabi, in his weekly press briefing, told the media that the Pakistan-Afghanistan ceasefire did not imply a traditional ceasefire implemented after any war or a conflict situation rather it implied that there would be no terrorist attack by Afghan-sponsored terrorist proxies into Pakistan.“There have been major terrorist attacks after this ceasefire. So, interpreting in that sense, the ceasefire is not holding because the ceasefire was about ceasing terrorist attacks inside Pakistan by TTP, FAK, and Afghan nationals using Afghan soil. So, if Afghan nationals are attacking, as they did so in Islamabad and elsewhere, so we cannot be very optimistic about the ceasefire,” he said.
