During an interview with senior CNN journalist Christiane Amanpour, Director General Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Asim Bajwa on Monday night said that it was an insult to question the capability of the Pakistan Army in the fight against terrorism.

Bajwa made the statement after Amanpour asked whether the Army was "up to" the task of fighting against militants.

"I would say this is an insult to the Pakistani people and Pakistani forces if you ask this kind of question. When I say we're very clear and we are capable of dealing with them," he said.

He also compared the performance and efficiency of Pakistan's military with that of the US and Isaf forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.

"If you see the nature of this conflict, you see the US forces in Iraq, then in Afghanistan, they've been there for so long, you look at the Isaf forces. The scale and magnitude of the forces and resources which are employed and look at the performance of Pakistani forces, they have done an excellent job," the DG ISPR said.

"I think there is no confusion in our mind that we have to go against the phenomenon of terrorism, against all terrorists, and their abettors," he added.

Answering a question about the armed forces' viewpoint of militant groups, the ISPR DG said: "There are no good terrorists.....We are going against all terrorists without any discrimination of hue and color."
