Following the recent Pakistani airstrikes on Afghan territory, in which the Pakistani military claimed to have targeted the positions of Jamaat-ul-Ahrar in Kunar and Paktika provinces, we reject these claims as false and baseless. Such claims are merely another attempt by the Pakistani military leadership to conceal its failures and to justify aggression against Afghanistan.

We categorically state that all of our military activities, organizational structure, and fighters are based inside Pakistan. We have no headquarters, camps, or operational centers inside Afghanistan, nor do we launch our operations from there. This narrative is simply a propaganda effort by the Pakistani military leadership to shift responsibility for its own security failures onto others.

Jamaat-ul-Ahrar is a movement whose military strength and organizational structure are spread throughout Pakistan. Our fighters, organizational network, and supporters are present in major cities across the country, including Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Quetta, and Peshawar. There is no need for us to use the territory of any other country to continue our struggle.

The Pakistani military leadership should stop blaming Afghanistan for every failure and instead accept responsibility for its own shortcomings. From Karachi to Khyber, we are waiting for you on our own soil.

We strongly condemn the Pakistani airstrikes on Afghanistan, which have resulted in heavy casualties among innocent Muslims, including women and children. Deliberately targeting civilian populations is not only a violation of international law, but also a stain on the reputation of the Pakistani armed forces.

We tell the Pakistani military leadership that if you possess the courage to fight, then come and confront us in your own cities and on your own battlefields. We are prepared to face you there. If, instead of confronting us, you continue targeting defenseless civilians, women, and children inside Afghanistan, then we warn you that our response will be more painful and more severe than ever before. The responsibility for the consequences will rest solely upon your shoulders.
