Pak-Afghan tensions

      The situation of the war between Pakistan and Afghanistan is a cause of great concern for the conscious citizens of both the brotherly countries. During the last four decades of war between the two major powers on Afghanistan, Pakistan hosted millions of Afghan refugees. The outlawed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, the ally of Tehreek-e-Taliban, which successfully resisted the aggression, has made Pakistan the target of its terrorist activities during the last two decades. In the last decade, the terrorism of the outlawed TTP was completely eliminated through two major military operations, but after the establishment of the Taliban government in Afghanistan, the operations of the outlawed TTP gradually increased in Pakistan, while the terror of the TTP in the territory of Afghanistan. Kidney safe havens have been established. Pakistan has repeatedly discussed with the current Afghan government to eliminate these bases, but no positive result has been obtained and in the press conference of the spokesman of the Pakistan Army two days ago, it was stated that in the last one year, more or less 400 officers and men have been killed. martyred in the encounter with the terrorists, while over nine hundred terrorists were killed as a result of the operations of the Pakistan Army.

     The Pakistan Army targeted TTP positions in the Paktika area last Tuesday with an air strike. was given Irrespective of the details of these operations, the main thing to think about is whether the Pak-Afghan war can reduce the problems and difficulties of both the countries or as a result both of them will have to face heavy losses. Pakistan is struggling for economic recovery, will the growing Pak-Afghan tension not prove to be an insurmountable obstacle in the way of these efforts? No intelligent person can consider the continuation of this situation as beneficial for Pakistan or Afghanistan. This is the reason why Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif explained in the federal cabinet meeting on Friday that Afghanistan is our neighboring country and it is our sincere desire. That our relations should be better and we should cooperate with each other in the economy and other sectors, but the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan is still operating from Afghanistan and innocent people are being martyred in Pakistan, this policy cannot work.

      The Prime Minister said that he has given the message to the Afghan government more than once that we want very good relations with you but the banned TTP should be stopped completely, they should not be allowed to martyr the innocent people of Pakistan in any way. cannot be allowed, this is a red line for us. Earlier on Tuesday, Pakistan's Special Representative for Afghanistan Mohammad Sadiq Khan had separate meetings with Afghanistan's Acting Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi and Interior Minister Khalifa Sirajuddin Haqqani in Kabul. It is clear that the two countries can resolve their differences through sincere negotiations, while armed conflict is not in anyone's interest, so progress should be made in this direction without delay and at a time when the world Many countries are establishing friendly relations with Afghanistan, so Pakistan and Afghanistan, which are linked in strong relations of religion, history, geography, race, color, language and culture, should also promote ideal mutual relations.

Kuurram's plight, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Apex Committee's decisions

 

      During the last few weeks in the Kurram District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the heavy loss of life and financial losses caused by the extremely tragic sectarian riots has left the entire country in grave concern, but the efforts of the Grand Jirga temporarily succeeded in establishing peace, after which Progress is being made on the implementation of joint measures and strategies by the federal and provincial governments to improve the situation on a permanent basis. A meeting of the APEX Committee of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was held under the joint chairmanship in which Corps Commander Peshawar, Chief Secretary of the province, IG Police and senior civil and military officials also participated. After considering the situation and its background, the Apex Committee has come to the correct conclusion that it is not possible to establish lasting peace without the elimination of bunkers and weapons in Kurram.

       According to the statement of the meeting, the committee has decided that both parties will sign a mutual agreement through the mediation of the government to surrender all the weapons. The apex committee has decided that all the weapons will be submitted to the administration by February 1 and All bunkers in the area will be demolished. A security mechanism has also been set up to secure the traffic on the land route. Police and FC will jointly provide security to the convoys. Special air service will be started on emergency basis to solve the traffic problem in the area. The federal and provincial governments will provide helicopters.

The Apex Committee has expressed the hope that the parties will fully cooperate with the government and the administration for a sustainable solution to the problem. If the action plan can be successfully implemented, the situation in the area will definitely improve temporarily, but peace can be established on a sustainable basis only when the causes and motives of communal hatred are over. The emergence of differences in human societies is a natural process that cannot be eliminated, but civilized societies know how to live with differences.

         Due to the recent bloodshed due to sectarian differences, the religious leaders and authoritative scholars of all sects must make a joint and effective struggle for communal harmony to permanently prevent such incidents, of which there are many successful examples in the past. On the one hand, the government will have to take strict measures against the seditionist elements who ignite the fire of violence by fueling these differences, and on the other hand, the leaders of all sects who have pain in their hearts should be exposed to the people who are doing mischief in the name of religion. It has to be made ineffective in people. ......
