"Our hearts go with the families of missing persons being Pakistanis. However, we must realise that not every person missing is attributable to the state," Lt-Gen Ghafoor said.
"Those with the state are under legal process. Still many individuals are there as part of TTP in Afghanistan and may be in other conflict zones elsewhere," he said.
"More so, there are many who got killed fighting as part of TTP against the state of Pakistan. Such individuals are also to be accounted somewhere while listing the missing persons," he stressed.
Amina Masood Janjua acknowledged the efforts by the state and security forces and thanked them for their empathy and support.
"She also reiterated the pledge that affected families shall not allow any anti-state force to exploit their emotions against the interest of Pakistan. She posed full confidence in state for getting the issue a logical closure," the ISPR added in its press statement.
