<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s chief of Army Staff, General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, on Friday <b>rejected the notion that the peace deal through Sufi Mohammed amounted to giving any 'concession' to the militants, and declared that the army has the resolve to take on the militants</b>. He said that 'victory against terror and militancy will be achieved at all cost'.

Speaking at a meeting of top military commanders, at the General Headquarters in Rawalpindi, the army chief acknowledged that doubts were being voiced about the intent and capability of the army to defeat the militants. However, his view was that the army 'never has and never will hesitate to sacrifice, whatever it may take, to ensure safety and wellbeing of the people and<b> country’s territorial integrity'</b>.

It was the most direct statement by General Kayani, or any other security or civilian official, about the prevailing situation and the manner in which it needs to be tackled. The statement came following a series of reports from <b>Swat’s adjoining district Buner, and later Shangla, of the Taliban march in the area, with clear signs of the armed militants trying to spread their influence under the cover of the peace deal.</b>
