Senior members of the opposition in the National Assembly vehemently condemned on Friday the recent statement by Defence Minister Khawaja Asif in which he “irresponsibly” declared that Pakistan would carry out cross-border strikes in Afghanistan to target terrorists. The opposition leaders included PTI’s former NA speaker Asad Qaiser, the Pashtunkhwa Milli Awami Party (PKMAP), among others. “The statement by Defence Minister Khawaja Asif is not just irresponsible; it is a dangerous provocation that threatens to destabilize our region further,” Qaiser said. The opposition leaders underscored the deep and historic ties between Pakistan and Afghanistan, emphasizing that such incendiary remarks do not reflect the sentiments of the people of Pakistan. The meeting was also attended by Anwar Taj, Muhammad Iqbal Afridi, Shahid Khattak, Salim-ur-Rehman, Bashir Khan Asif Khan, Sajid Khan Mohmand, and Dawar Khan Kundi.
