Aftab Sherpao urges Afghan policy review

Qaumi Watan Party (QWP) Chairman Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao on Wednesday urged the government to reconsider its Afghan policy and remove shortcomings in its security plan.

He asked the government and the opposition to set aside their differences and join hands to address the challenges facing the country.

In a press statement, he said that he was speaking at a gathering to mark the death anniversary of those who were martyred in a suicide attack on a mosque in Sherpao, Charsadda in 2007.

Quran khwani was held for the departed souls.

He paid glowing tributes to the martyrs and said their sacrifices would be remembered forever.

Sherpao said that the country and particularly Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa was once again experiencing a wave of terrorism and the law and order was deteriorating with each passing day.

Commenting on the Bannu incident, he said the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf government had failed to build capability of the police and other law-enforcement agencies.
