First, grave threats were issued to the Afghan government; then, in blatant violation of religious, moral, and international refugee rights, Afghan brothers who had been residing in Pakistan for three generations were forcibly expelled. Then attacks were launched on Afghan soil, and now, operations have been initiated in the tribal areas under the pretext that ‘terrorists have arrived’.
Because of these policies, our own people are being martyred everywhere: police personnel, soldiers, and innocent civilians being martyred are all our own. This approach can never establish peace. Lasting peace only comes through dialogue.
